Yeah, hes only the winningest driver in NHRA history, winning the funny car championship a record 13 times. He is the bar at which every other driver shoots for. Yeah, not that great a driver! :confused

Nah on second thought I can't leave this one alone . . .

BTW: I suppose you never heard of Don Garlits or Don Prudhome or Kenny Bernstein either? (yes I know Top Fuel not Funny Car, whatever)

Put it this way Force is probably the modern day equivelant in funy car racing as what Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr., and the like are/were to nascar.

Don't worry though I'm sure one day the "sport" of drifting and lowriding will have legends that are just as mainstream as these guys are :rolf

[nismodave]

Ive met people who didnt know who Micheal Schumacher is. LOL

But I can understand people not knowing who FORCE is. Ive never met him, but Ive heard mixed stories on how the guy really is.

[pOrk]

That last comment was a joke, hence the smiley. Not all of us are into Funny Car / NHRA racing.

Drifting? Keep your ignorent comments to yourself. Not all of us are into funny car racing. And lowriding? Shut the **** up.

Ah, that's cool... I'm not too much into watching the funny car thing, I went once and thought it was awesome, but never really got into it... That's really cool though that he's gunna be there... and Pork.. lol, you shoulda put one of these faces after that one comment :goof

[Slow Joe]

No problem, didnt mean anything negative by it. Just letting you know something about him. We got autographs today as well, very personable man, gracious and willing to sign, take pictures, whatever...

[Korndogg]

your lucky I didnt walk off with that one car you had me have him sign.....That was a nice one. He was like, where do you want me to sign? I was like I dont care they arent mine lol.

[Greg@GLD]

I saw Mat and Becky were the last ones allowed in the afternoon session...

John came over to our booth, he signed Ray's funnycar (the real car, not a toy) and he signed a bunch of stuff for us. He's a very approchable guy and very friendly. Did anyone else see when he took SMS's baby in his arms? I thought that was WAY cool. :D

Hey pOrk, if you were just messin around why are you getting your panties in a bunch? I didn't say anything blatently personal to you did I? I was being a smartass as well. If you have a problem with that then that is exactly what it is, Your Problem.

Good to see you there Greg. Its funny I had just told my wife a couple minutes earlier, "you wanna see something funny?" I said "you see all the photographers over in the corner? Watch the look on thier faces when I hand my big ass camera to this 18 year old kid to take a pic of us" and then John took the kid! I think that was kinda the shocker at the moment but hey I sure am glad I trusted her with my camera for it :headbang

[BAD LS1]

Thats pretty frickin cool! Your little guy will probably look at that someday and think thats just plain awesome too :thumbsup

[awsomeears]

So how many people stood in line ?

I'd imagine the line being very very long.

[RCN4HIM]

Here's John & I at his humble shop in Yorba Linda, California :wooo

[b4mytm]

Yup Matt and I got in at the very end of the afternoon signing.He signed all of our cars.
Mark and his gf took a couple more cars for Matt later on.
The lines were long,but moved pretty quickly.

Force was apparently walking around later and was right by our cars.One of our members got him to pose by his car.

[Korndogg]
