Hi V

 

The reason John force looks so beat, he was trolling past the "beer tower' at the traps riling up the crowd all day friday and today



Not sure how I ended up there all day, but this is where my seat was.......
On the guard rail looking right down at the finish line



Got some great videos of the Top Fuelers after dark friday night
I'll be there in the morning/afternoon Sunday too

 

Oh yeah..............woooooo-hooooooo or sumthing

 

You must've got Vinnie's autograph, too.

 

Way to go Al
I was watching it on TV today and missing that starting line BIG TIME....
BTW, the likeness between you two is simply amazing



At least he drives the right Vehicle ; o )

 

Man !!! Force does look totally BEAT. I had seen him craw out of Firely wrecks at over 300 MPH with a better look on his face. Get some rest there Johnny , it's gonna be a hot one today... Oh, and it sounds like some people around here are envious of that BUBBLY & Cheerful fellow in the preddy red truck with the custom paint. notice how I described Vinnie as Bubbly and Cheerful. sorta like Santa Ho Ho HO :santa:

 

ROB
You have Way Too Much Time on Your Hands.

 

Watch out for the number 16 qualifier today. My old boss is gonna pull the major upset and get back in the "Top 10". Gilby can definately put a hurt'in on them at the tree......

 

i have to agree with zapster and except for one year bob glidden drove ford powered cars,not a hemi.never did understand why ford puts so much money in a hemi powered car.

 

I have a pic from the Brainerd Race in '00 with Force in the passenger seat,and my then-12-year-old son (NoBelay) in the drivers seat of my rental car. Force showed him how to shift it down into 1st, then told him to hit the gas when the light went green. With NoBelay steering and on the gas, Force shifting gears, they ran a 19 second quarter at 79 some mph...

and John Force earned a lifetime fan in my boy.
