Thread: Another record for John Force!

Tweet

I admire force as a great driver... and as a sponsor magnet, which resulted in his ability to hire anyone he wanted, and buy as many cars and parts as he wants. I have always credited his overall success to Austin Coil, who put the race cars under him! Without that building, research, and tuning talent, he would be just another face in the crowd.

...but I am a huge fan of Garlits! No surprise he was voted the #1 most influencial guy in the sport. He may not hold some of the all-time records that others do, but he designed, built, towed, maintained, tuned, and drove the cars... won under several sanctioning bodies, even including one he started! He changed the overall design of Top Fuel cars forever... and set up a great museum for the sport! No reason for him to be in awe of anyone else. Force isn't even close. Sorry.
