Try something new

NHRA's play-off system sucks. After watching the dog and pony show at the US Nationals it's clear some modifications need to be done! How ‘bout a countdown to fifteen, with the bottom five being sliced away if they don't score a certain amount of points at each event if they don't perform?

Black eye for Force

I am outraged at the latest John Force outburst and actions at the US Nationals. What a disgrace! He has destroyed the sanctity and integrity of our sport with his blatant throwing of a round, and his attempted assault on Tony Pedregon. What is worse is he then tried to play the BS card that the whole racing world is against him, and woe is me bullcrap. What a joke!

We, the fans, are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior and are not fooled one bit by it. You, John Force, are an absolute disgrace to the sport and do not deserve the Wallys and Championships that you have won... now we know how you did it! I expect the NHRA to take immediate action against John and suspend him from competition for a period of one year. Maybe then we can finally get some decent coverage on ESPN2. John Force, you are a DISGRACE!

Has seen it before

I wonder how many times Tony P. was on the right side of the Force camp taking a dive for him when he won the title while driving for Force?

This has been going on for a long time in Pro Stock like in Jim Yates and WJ and Kurt so it's not a new thing.

Force lost a fan

I will never root for a Force car/driver again. Half the field after first round and still team orders, what a bunch of shit. John and all of his teams should hide their heads in shame, apparently John is helping NHRA run this into the ground, (probably so he can buy it and then none of his cars will ever lose). I know this started way back with Tony, but when you have half the field?

John, you worked very hard to get where you are, why are you so bent on ruining your reputation? (What’s left of it anyway.)

No whining!

US Nationals altercation between Tony P and John Force. Oh my God! Cruz and Tony Pedregon are the biggest whining babies in the history of drag racing. If you don't win the race to put yourself in a position for the Playoffs (Paul Page’s word not mine), then shut up. Tony is an ungrateful piece of @#$%. I'm not even a huge John Force fan. If Tony knows the operation at the Force camp and probably got his Championship this way, maybe NHRA should take it away and give it to the person who came in second that year....

It was probably Force.
