Roger U Posted Saturday at 11:29 PM Posted Saturday at 11:29 PM I was looking through boxes of old papers and photos and found these from a car show I went to at a local car dealer many years ago. John Force, Tony Pedregon, and Johns funny car. Kind of interesting that John was driving a Ford but his sponsor was a Chevrolet dealer (Don Steves). Wonder how he is doing with his recovery from the accident. 3 1

Don Steves Chevrolet sponsored Force for a long time. I remember seeing his Mustang at the dealership back in '97, '98 ( I worked there from 1994-1998 ). Nice, friendly feller, too.Â
NYLIBUD Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM Posted Sunday at 01:37 AM (edited) Met him at English town about 10 years ago.Signed my NHRA flag,which I lost.😞 And no more E Town.Wonder if that’s his daughter Brittany in the back. Edited Sunday at 01:55 AM by NYLIBUD
TonyK Posted Sunday at 11:34 AM Posted Sunday at 11:34 AM The few times they talk to him at NHRA events, he seems real good. I sense a little mellowness in his manner but otherwise it's the same old John Force.
meechum68 Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM Posted Sunday at 03:35 PM Love John, such a character, and one of the top funny car drivers I have a ton of respect for, the other is Cruz Pendregon. I lived for the weekends as a kid to watch these two face off. Win or lose they were class acts.  Thank you for sharing the update!
Volzfan59 Posted Sunday at 04:27 PM Posted Sunday at 04:27 PM Missed seeing John at the Fall Nationals last weekend. Win, lose or draw he’d always ride his scooter up and down the access lane and wave.
