John’s initial TV interview was interesting.

He was very excited.

John’s initial TV interview was quite exciting.

Yes, it was. He really let fly with some choice words. And kissing Ron Capps was priceless. ROTFL

That is how guys talk, in the real world, not the PC world. JMHO

I am very happy for him and he is a piece of work for sure. He is to NHRA what Sr. was to Nascar as far a fan recognition.

From Capps' Perspective: https://autoweek.com/article/nhra/autoweek-nhra-insider-ron-capps-blog-john-force-kissed-me-lips?

What a moment -- aside from him grabbing me by the ears and kissing me on the lips! He dropped like 12 F-bombs on the Fox network national broadcast, grabbed me, planted one on me and then ran -- well, more like hobbled -- to the fence and jumped into the grandstands with the fans. I have compared him to Elvis and Richard Petty -- now I’m not so sure. It was a weird moment. But that’s John Force. That’s why we love him.

He is one hell of a competitor and one hell of a character. And when I'm 70 I can only wish that I have that much energy and zest for life.

I'm 63 and I don't have that much energy.

I was having dinner at a restaurant in Brownsburg tonight and someone poked my arm and I looked up and there was the man himself John Force. At the race track this week we are parked back to back to Johns hauler and the whole back door of his trailer is a picture of him standing there smiling with his driving suit on, and on our back door is a picture of Carmen Electra standing there wearing a cowboy hat with leather pants pointing. It looks like she is pointing at him and he is smiling at her.
