FORCE IS GOOD FOR THE SPORT

Thought your editorial about John Force was right on. The man has accomplished more than anyone else in ANY type of sport. To accuse him of laying down to let Tony win one is

ridiculous for two reasons: 1) the man is too competitive; and, 2) it's his name that draws the crowds and the media attention, something the sponsors (and NHRA) depend on.

If John Force hadn't created himself, NHRA should have done it for him . . .

FORCE-LESS

Please don't include me in the fans that think Force is taking a dive. Also don't include me as a Force fan. The man has become a parody of himself. When the camera is on, he won't shut up, he will invade an interview that does not include him, and he will persist in trying to come up with a new "Forceism" that only points out how ridiculous he has become. I will always be impressed by his string of championships, but I have ceased to be impressed by him personally. He is obviously very generous, witness Gary whats-his-name, but he has become so incredibly annoying to listen to, I turn off the sound whenever he is on spewing his disjointed thoughts. Great draw? Not to me.

GUESS IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Reading my Digger while gazing at the Cascade Mountain Range of the Pacific Northwest, I saw the ad for DRO and saw the names of a few people I have had the pleasure of knowing and racing with. Jok is probably not aware that he was the first track operator to say yes when a snot nosed kid called him about booking in a Midwest based alcohol circuit. Jeff Leonard was always welcome to ride along with us to Indy or wherever my Dad had the van heading, and Jeff Burk was one of those kind of people you always enjoyed seeing. . .leave. Just kidding.

Well it sure sounds like a fun group. Keep up the good work.
