Tony had the chance aswell and screwed his brother outta gettin in the chase. TOO BAD
No he raced his brother outta the chance not gift wrapped it to him. BIG difference IMO... 
HUGH difference!!! Tony and Cruz raced all the way to the line...and i wouldn't want to be in Force's shoes either 
don't worry you couldn't wear Force's jock 
Your correct its probably too SMALL!! his jock that is..

"i think its now a business, and no offense to those that feel that the "fans" deserve something better, but the fans names arent on the side of the car, and JFR, KBR, DSR and all the other teams dont have a contract with the fans..."
Oh, but they do. If they are going to take the fans' $100 bill for a top of the line seat on race day, they owe the fans a show with integrity and professionalism, without the fans the pro dog and pony show doesn't exist.
john force racing is not taking $100 from fans so they can watch a race... that is my point, john force racing has a contract with thier sponsors and thats who they care about, get that car into the top ten, make the sponsor happy, its a business. end of story, you think they really really care about what the fans want?

It is what it is, if you like it watch it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. This is how the NHRA show runs. As for Dragracing, there are many different groups, bodies, clubs, and NHRA just so happens to be the big one. I hate the '1000 ft B.S. but I still watch it. We all love dragracing, but we all love different kinds of it. I think some sportsman racing is boring but others would rather watch that than the pros. I have to say, John sure did a bad job at taking a dive. And Cruz and Tony say it how they see it. In the end ESPN 2  we all love it or hate it. If Tony thinks him and Cruz are the small guys, maybe they should go over to IHRA. It's just that no one watches IHRA and the live TV is on NHRA. Wonder what is next? who is the next racer to WWE? forget that! Real fights are over here. 
Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

EXACTLY!!! The Peds are bigger tools than Force ever thought about being. They do more whining than a dirt track racer!

Some of you guys sure have short memories. KJ used to throw races for his old man, Angelle whateverhernameisnow once didn't even bring her bike to the lanes so her teammate could win. Think DSR doesn't "maniupulate" things? Before NHRA changed the rules, big teams would lend the "little guy" who was still in engines, tires, bodies, or anything else they needed to "manipulate" the outcome of a round or a race. At last years finals Andrew Hines couldn't even redlight correctly and hit a .00 light. He had to pretend the trans wouldn't shift to throw the race and give Eddie Kraewick the points he needed to win the championship. Force should have cut a decent light, and this wouldn't have been so obvious. It stinks, and anything Robert Hight does for the rest of this year will be tainted. But this stuff goes on all the time. I say Pedregon is a backstabbing, hypocritical, whining, loser, no wonder his crew chief left.

I was in a meeting when Eddie Hills name was brought up as a possible shoe for the Mopar topfuel team. He was denied that chance because they didn't like his beard and thought Tommy Johnson Jr looked more "GQ" and presentable. It's not about racing people, it's about marketing and big money. Grass roots drag racing like Steve remembers has been dead for a long time in the NHRA.
Wow. I can't believe Mopar Performance would pass over a drag racing legend like Eddie Hill in favour of Tommy Johnson Jr. Nothing against Tommy Johnson Jr., but at that time Eddie Hill was a far more accomplished drag racer.
Hemiroid - Did you work for Mopar Performance? Just curious...

All at 80--aaahhh the good old days!! As far as the Force thing I think the statements about the $$$ are right in him getting his team in the chase,and maybe it was a little slap in the face of the Pedregons also
