I was just at the dr's. office and in the waiting room was a road & track type magazine, as I'm reading I notice an interview with John Force, it was from earlier this summer but they were asking him about Ford departure. He didn't blame them at all really but he did say that NHRA has got to step up and do a better job for the sponsors, he mentioned the 3 rain-outs and he mentioned they (nhra) got bumped by ESPN by a soccer game and a little league game! Not to mention so many of the televised races are on so late in the day.
He also mentioned that Ford said it was "crowded!" Between his cars, Tasca and Wilkerson... I couldn't believe that is "crowded" but that's what he said!?!?!?
So now it's only Toyota and Chryslers left in the Pro ranks of NHRA.. oh well. It was nice while it lasted. I had hoped for more with Larry Morgan but it wasn't to be I guess.
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
How did you get hooked on cars?
