I can not believe no one has mentioned John Force and winning his 1000th round on Sunday. This is a Cal Ripken Jr type performance. We may never see anything like it again. Do you realize just to tie John's record you would have to win every race for the next 10 1/2 years? Not to mention the guy isn't anywhere near the end of his career so the record is sure to be put even further out of reach. I don't care if you a fan or not what he has done deserves respect.

I'm not sure why it hasn't been talked about either, but I thought the whole thing was fantastic. When he put out that top bulb I said to my wife, "Oh crap - he's gonna make a go at the tree" LOL...that was awesome!!! Anyone have a hi-res shot of this - http://www.nhra.com/2008/images/news/may/force1000.jpg ?

The numbers tell more than that.

Based on the 500 races and 1000 round wins that means that he aveages a semi-final round lose. WOW.

I'd love a hi-rez shot of that too, but I've got a feeling that's poster material, and you'll have a chance to buy one in the near future.
