Betting against John Force Racing would be a mistake in F/C.
I'd have to believe Alan Johnson's team will also move to the front in T/F

Betting against Whitely's car in TAD is something I wouldn't do
and
TAFC will be a real toss-up with Manzo retired. Jay Payne may step up and take the crown.

[Napanutt]

Well since Eli wouldn't let me have my first choice (I'm still laughing here) I'll take Hight. If I was playing with real money though I'd take Hagen but since he works for we-know-who I'd have a hard time rooting for him on a weekly basis.
I do have a really cool story regarding Hight at Sonoma from a year or two ago. I'm sure I've told it before, I'll tell it again. :D

Robert Hight!

Pro stock I'm jumping ship from Jeggy for one reason only...Dave Connelly!

Some of you may know him as Erica's tuner last year.
I know him as the best natural born pro stock driver in the world.
Connelly won the last 3 US National he entered 07, 08, and '12 I think?

He is like 23 of 41 in finals, and hardly anyone knows his name it seems.
When he would enter the odd race here and there, the entire field would shudder.

So Hight in FC
Connelly in Pro Stock

And.....AlBalooshi in fuel.

You read it here first folks!!

Same Here!!

Been to most of them, but have never made it to Dallas for a race.

I remember when Billy Meyer built it in 86', we could not believe someone built an all concrete track!

That track has so much history it's crazy.



Here is a sample of the "firsts" at the 'plex.


Nov. 1985: Billy Meyer signs an agreement to host an NHRA event the following September, before ground was broken on the facility.

Jan. 1986: Ground breaks for the Texas Motorplex – designed to be the first post tension, all-concrete, quarter-mile facility specifically created for drag racing.

Sept. 25, 1986: Darrell Gwynn runs 5.280 to set Top Fuel E.T. record with the first national event pass on the track.

April 1997: The Texas Motorplex becomes the first non-NHRA-owned track to host two national events.

1997: The Texas Motorplex opens the Divisional 4 Hall of Fame, becoming the only track to host a hall of fame.

1997: The Texas Motorplex becomes the first facility to build a permanent hospitality structure to host fans in a VIP atmosphere; originally known as The Top Eliminator Club and now known as the Champions Club.

April 9, 1988: Eddie Hill turns in the first four-second quarter mile pass – a 4.990 run.

Oct. 19, 1997: Cory McClenathan makes the first pass in the 320 mph-range – a 321.77 run.

Oct. 24, 1998: Gary Scelzi, John Force, Warren Johnson and Larry Kopp lead the quickest qualifying field in NHRA history.

Oct. 23, 1999: En route to his first, NHRA championship, Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher earns his first national event victory.

Oct. 23, 1999: John Force clinched his ninth NHRA Funny Car championship by defeating Tommy Johnson Jr. in the quickest side-by-side race in Funny Car history.

Sept. 23, 2004: The Texas Motorplex becomes the first NHRA track in the country to have starting line balcony seating in the tower suites.

Sept. 26, 2004: Greg Anderson clinches his second consecutive NHRA Pro Stock title at the Texas Motorplex. Anderson clinched the title faster than any other driver in NHRA history.

That is correct.

Eli, John Force was nearly killed in this crash at Dallas Motorplex in 2007.

If you have never seen it, be warned it is violent.
The scariest part was when the car stopped, he wasn't there. He is actually up track in the back half of the car.


http://youtu.be/TumIhntJIYY

John was told he would not regain movement of his hands, and may not be able to walk normally.
Being John Force, He not only recovered, but came back to win 2 more Championships (so far) and hold both ends of the FC 1000' world records.

John was told he would not regain movement of his hands, and may not be able to walk normally.
Being John Force, He not only recovered, but came back to win 2 more Championships (so far) and hold both ends of the FC 1000' world records.

Oh my that was pretty bad. He's such a fighter! Go John!

Interestingly enough JF and I were both recuperating from our accidents at the same time.....I was invited to the Force Racing Suite during the Winternationals in Pomona and we had a chance to meet.......I was still recovering as well.....personally I didn't walk for a year and JF was way worse than me at the time of this picture.......but you would have never known it as he was cracking wise the whole time he was in the booth......the ultimate huckster :thumb:

Wow Paul! Thanks for sharing! Good thing you're both recovered!

I gotta say, I chuckle every time I hear Paige say "They did give John a CAT scan...and it came back negative"...
