The old man being Force! He finally gets his sub-four second run during qualifying for this weekend's NHRA race.
3.98with a 7 making him the 4th fastest 1000 foot funny car in history. Of course it wouldn't be John if he didn't up-stage someone. This time his daughter, Courtney, was running fastest speed for a 1000 foot funny car in the other lane at 329 mph, but she has to play second fiddle to the old man because the Prock-Rocket runs the first 3 second run for Force Racing.
What a pity Ford and Castrol have announced they are dropping sponsorship of JFR after the 2014 season.
As long as Force keeps plugging away with these kind of performances, he should be able to find new sponsors. Although the 8-million US dollars a year that is reported to be Ford's input into the Force program is a big chunk of change to find from elsewhere.
Maybe, we'll see some retro looks from JFR. How about it Wendy's?
