John Force to me is the standard of NHRA drag racing drivers. Every driver should strive for John Force excellence.. Win at any cost. Never look back always look ahead.

    I'm from the UK, I think the thing I like most about John Force is his enthusiasm. The guy's a thousand years old, been racing since spats were in style and STILL loves it! Not only that but I hear he's a good guy too! I hope he never has to quit. His level of joy and sportsmanship is a beacon to everyone. He shows that hard work and dedication brings success. Long may it continue!

    During the 80's John Force regularly came down to race in Bradenton at the Snowbird Nationals as well as other events and looked forward to seeing him each and every year. I managed to sneak a Polaroid of him reading the local newspaper because I was too chicken to ask. His success and perseverance in racing, business family and many accomplishments is absolutely awesome. John Force, in my book is definitely the GOAT!!

    One of my favorite things about YTube is seeing both sides of people like Courtney. She's cool, calm, collected and professional when need be and an every day normal, potty mouth talking person when she doesn't "need" to be professional 😜 And John Force (decades ago) actually took the time to step up into the back of my friend's van to autograph his Harley that had a perfectly hand and air brush painted likeness of John on the rear fender. His race suite (and two cars that are on the gas tanks) are so detailed you can read the sponsor patches and stickers...

  • @UnderPressure04
    @UnderPressure043 ай бұрын

    I think Force has become more relatable and likeable in recent years, more like he was earlier in his career. By the 2000s he had become a caricature of himself. The seemingly limitless resources from Castrol, Ford, etc., the TV show- it seemed like like the more he acted like a clown, the more success he had. But then cracks started to show (Coil leaving on frosty terms was an early indication), and eventually he found himself having to make tough financial and personnel decisions like he probably hadn't had to do since the 80s. He seems to have gotten back to basics and figured out what he needs to do to keep going and have a successful team even if he's not the center of on-track attention, and I give him a lot of credit for that.

    A tour through this building shows why folks like Clay Millican call some of the teams factory cars. The economies of scale in the purchasing and development of building and running bleeding edge race cars give a huge advantage to these teams. This factory is so large that John doesn’t even know all the employees. With that said, nitro racing is so tough that even with these advantages, the winner on Sunday is still a real contest. All it takes is tractor trailer trucks full of money. And some luck.
