Force was fined $10,000 for physical contact with the NHRA official at top end.

pocket change, pay before next race, show up with a quarter of the field, qualify, maybe drop a race to pick up points for hight, flip off the camera becuase he can, sell some t shirts...

GO FORCE...

Who really thought they were going to do anything serious to the nhra poster boy ..i hope Tony P. kicks all of Forces teams butts and sticks the trophey right up Forces..

Pendragon's = Cry babies....
I heard they are slime balls, had some old Guy build them a replica car, and stiffed them in the end.....

That's nothing to Forces pocketbook,Tony is just a big whiner.

Tony should be thanking J.F for a championship title.I don't care for tony just because he left J.F after winning a title maybe if he was still on team force we mightve had 2 titles.

John Force has earned the respect and notoriety that he receives

Rickster

My on John Force and his business is that he is one of the the top reasons fans come to the races and he is the most successful racer of all times. He is still a man like you and me and has a ego as well as a comimtment(SP) to his sponsors, team and family, he accomplished his goal of getting all four team cars and sponsors into the shoot out I hope Robert Hieght, his son in law, wins the world championship this year BTW, I wonder why both of his son in laws are smaller than him

I was at Pomona sitting at the top end when Tony beat Force on a holeshot and handed the championship to Gary Scelzi. Great time that was.

Personally I'd rather see Tim Wilkerson win the championship this year. The chase kinda screwed him last year, maybe this will be his year.

Just asking, but if it comes down to one pass for either Ashley or Hight to win the championship, which one will have to take the dive?

If Tony knew about it for so long why didn't he say something while he was participating in it.
Didn't care until his bull got gored.

On a whim I drove by Force's shop to thank them for letting me park in front at his Mopar car show couple weeks back. Of course could not see him of course but the shop guys said as a whole they are fired up and as a good measure may make Coil sick again so as not to break there luck. I thought that was funny then asked what about tee shirts. Got the wait and see.

To be honest I am long time Force fan and watched him grow his shop from one side of Yorba Linda to it's current spot. I also like the Pedregons especially for there work on Drag Race high. All this drama is like the old days of Snake and the Mongoose, Bernstein, Garlits, Kalitta and many more. It's not the old days but what is.

I have the utmost respect for Mr. Force. Really if the tables were turned the same thing would have happened had one of the Pedregons were in the same situation or one of the Schumacher cars were involved give me a break.

I agree.NHRA has decided that only Nitro cars and Pro stock are viable TV and live event options.Force can do as he pleases.I have followed all the posts and yes, both sides of the argument have merit.Was Force right? NO but it isn't about that... only business.Integrity be damned in the name of business and the show.All of Drag Racing is very viable for TV (Pinks proves it)but NHRA will never pay sportsman racers real money, so forget it.One last thought,I suppose we should be happy that Force or a team car doesn't win every race.

Yep, 10 thousand to Force is chump change and in this case a bargian...

He's had 10 MILLION worth of "ink" since Indy!

I'm hoping the Force cars finish 1 through 4 and the cry baby blows up everthing he owns or can borrow from his brother. I bet Flamin' Frank Pedregon wasn't a whiner...

Tony seems to cry Im the little guy.You cant run 2 cars with no money.They all seem to forget Force going to races to just get beat in matbe the second round because he didnt have money to have extra parts in the trailer.Ask Bernstein how many races he won because Force couldnt run because of lack of funds.The guy worked his a-- off to get what he has.Look at his pit sometimes you will see more people there than any other at an event.The man respects his fans and he demands his employees do the same.Why wasnt anyone crying when team Kallita was laying down for Doug to get points for the championship?I guess Tony wasnt worried about that because he drove a dragster.Rocky
