Very cool. Now to get cable. : (

wow, how cool is that? the building tour and the HDO and CarbonX testing ought to be great.

poor Gary. his nemesis gets his show plugged on his head sponsor's website. like a swift kick in cojones. so they've had a rough year so far...

Phil...no cable? Really?! You're a dying breed!

Yeah Brian, I kind of thought it seemed a bit odd that one of his competitors is getting a plug. But who knows maybe the O is expanding and is going to sponsor more drivers? Who knows?

Sounds good, will have to check it out.

no, the O is already the dominant eyewear sponsor in NHRA. for a while, they had an agreement with NHRA to be exclusive. I'm sure FP or Jim would love to share about that experience went...

here's a pic of John Force's car from GatorNationals; you can clearly make out the Icon on the upper part of the driver's window (perfect marketing spot)

Very cool. The show is about Jon Force daughters fallowing in his foot steps not him, but I am sure he will make several appearances.

Phil...no cable? Really?! You're a dying breed!

I've got cable, yet I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss out on this! Can someone tape it for me...pretty please?!?

one of his daughters is already a ProStock Driver on "Team Force." She's def. Oakley sponsored. The other two daughters are working up through alcohol levels if I recall. They probably have tons of sponsors too, if only because of their dad.

We may just need a team to run tapes for those who can't get it. If we're lucky, doesn't A&E sell most of their programs on DVD after it's aired?

Who's going to Bristol next weekend (29) just to go to the Rolling O store???

Brian, the girl you're thinking about in Pro Stock is named Erica Enders, she is of no relation to the Force family.

John's oldest daughter, Ashley, drives Top Alcohol Dragster--basically the equivalent of the "minor leagues" compared to nitro cars. One step down. And she has 2 sisters driving Jr. Dragsters, basically like "little league" for drag racing.

And it looks like Ashley will be joining her dad in Nitro Funny Car starting in the 2007 season. She just got licensed to drive Nitro Funny Cars and they've chosen a crew chief for her car next year.

Ashley, along with her father and the rest of their team typically sport Oakley, as Oakley is the official lifestyle sponsor of the NHRA.

Can't wait to see the show!

I just forgot which division she was in. I remember seeing her race a few weeks ago, but not which class.

How did a dude like John Force end up with 3 gorgeous daughters?!? That's what I want to know. These girls are awesome from what little I saw of them in the trailer. I wish I got A&E over here.

Phil, you should call the cable company on your rotary phone & subscribe!

BTW Here's an Oakley ad for the Riddle featuring Ashley Force from National Dragster Magazine

guys , edwin and phil are making a really important comment about taping this show , AND NOBODY STEPPED UP TO DO SO !!!

i want it too , so pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssseee

somebody tape this thing on DVD ( for european countries to see )


FP ??

I would have do it, but dont have a dvd recorder, I hope someone can help.

Thats what this site is all about I think.

How many episodes by the way, does anybody knows ?

I'll try to record it on my DVD recorder. Then I can make a pristine copy if anyone wants it.

i want it

Phil, you should call the cable company on your rotary phone & subscribe!

I don't have a phone either.

Just use your 'Frio's as a signal mirror to morse code the cable co. On second thought, see if you can get Dann to transfer his recording to Beta for you...you have a TV right?

I'll engrave each frame into a stone tablet that I'll throw past his window at 30 fps.

Phil, I'm sure SGH has a phone you can use. You do know how to use it, right? you push the buttons in a certain order (check the phonebook). make sure you're talking into the right end.

Oh, I thought I had to spin the crank and ask to be connected while holding a cup to my ear and speaking into another cup.
