Before we could answer he said "Hold On" and took off at a high rate of speed. He roared back with a borrowed pen and signed our ball caps. As we walked away we were both thinking, did that really happen?
We have all seen the media side of JFR, but underneath he is just John, enjoying the life he has been given. Probably a lesson in there for all of us.

Thanks Cam for sharing this, This why John Force, like Bob Glidden is a TRUE Champion. We as NHRA fans should be so greatful.

I still think it is all amazing. I really enjoy seeing him win. Im really not that much of a fan kind of person.. I have my faves in some classes, but thats about it... He has always been a fave, but I think some time before the tv show is when I really started to become a fan. His background story and his what ever it takes attitude is what this racing thing is all about. And probably because he reminds me of myself hahah.. Talks a lot.. Seemingly full of hot air, but very serious at the same time haha.
