SSlady, thanks for your post. How did you find out about the Force family interest in the injured young lady?

Thumprint, two wrongs don't make it right? Do you think Ron did something wrong?

No Bruce, It wasnt what Ron said it was what was said about Sportsman racers, so instead of being a retard and kicking guy when he's down we'll let that 1 slide.

If there is anymore to that bit on Vandergriff, I would really like to know that too.
I know the Sr. didnt like the trucks,and damn sure doesnt care for the ProMods. I have never heard Jr. say anything about sportsman racers though.

Thumprint,

You failed to answer my question. Where are the two wrongs?

Using the word retard should apply only to timing on a racing site. Many of us take offense to you calling any one a retard.

Mr. Noland,
I am a friend of the Greer family and was told the story about the phone call and the donation through Kaylee's parents one day when I visited the hospital. Many of my family members were involved in the benefit for Kaylee. What I am saying is this was not told to me by just anyone, so it is not a rumor. John and Ashley both have continued to ask about Kaylee. On the US National program Ashley even spoke of Kaylee (I missed that part but received a phone call right after telling me about how Ashley had mentioned Kaylee's name on National TV). As I said before I don't know about the other 'story' but I do know John and Ashley have stepped up in a way for Kaylee that is well beyond just a donation. Many other Pro racers have sent different items to her.
I don't think the start of this post was 'against' John Force just a statement of how sportsman racers do not receive any recognition. I do feel the Pro racers job is to plug for their sponsors and I am sure that was the main thing that entered John's mind when asked the question. I do hate that sportsman racers seem to be in the background but everything today revolves around money and I hate to say it but as far as the National events "most" of the spectators do come to see the big boys. That is just reality. I wish there was a way for the sportsman classes to receive more attention and publicity. We use the same products and run the stickers to support the same sponsors or vendors that the Pros use and advertise. If all the sportsman racers were gone and did not purchase their products where would that put the (sponsors/vendors) business?? Again, the Pros get the air time and that is what the vendors want. I assume the money isn't there to produce and air sportsman races.

If you want to read about Kaylee's recovery go to www.caringbridge.org type in kayleegreer (no spaces) in the visit a website and you can read everything her parents have posted about her accident and recovery.

God's Speed to John Force for a full recovery and prayers for him and all his family.

Donna Morris :)

Ms./Mrs. Morris,

Thank you for your response, even though you incorrectly "read into" my question?

I will visit the site that you offered.

Mr. Noland

Mrs. Morris,

That is one of the nicest, most logical, and accurate responses I have ever read.
Thank you,

Mr. Ortiz,
Your welcome. The response I made is only my opinion and we know the ol saying about opinions.

Mr. Noland,
I am sorry I misunderstood your question and no disrespect was intended. I thought I answered your question. That is the only thing I hate about not speaking in person when you type something it can be interpreted differently. That has been proven on different posts time and time again. If you do go to Kaylee's site make sure and go into her journal. Chad and Cindy have posted maybe not daily but quite frequently.

Donna Morris :)
