Starts to get interesting around 6 minutes.

Maybe if Pedregon had brought his "A" game he wouldn't have to worry about fighting for the last spot?

If so, did I see you cruising south down 35 on Saturday?

Nope not me. The Camaro in my avatar is an old pic of a concept car.

NHRA levies fine against John Force
Thursday, September 10, 2009

Funny Car racer John Force has been fined $10,000 by NHRA for an incident involving physical contact with an NHRA official Monday, Sept. 7, during the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

Videotape from the event showed Force making physical contact with an NHRA official at the top end of the racetrack during a confrontation with fellow Funny Car driver Tony Pedregon. Such physical contact violates the Participant Conduct policy as stated in the 2009 NHRA Rulebook. The fine, which Force can appeal, must be paid in full prior to participation at any future NHRA event.

Maybe NHRA should "FORCE" him out LOL!

I dunno...I'm not a big John Force fan but from the stats I've seen, he's been FC champion 14 of the last 19 years. Like him or not, that's an accomplishment that is unlikely to be duplicated.
