That was my first thought, JFR has a full house in FC now.

I've heard that John thinks TF Dragsters are WAYY to dangerous and will NEVER let his girls drive them.

I would guess it has something to do with the bore spaceing in the block. NHRA is very specific about all the specs in the motor and to my knowledge the ford did not meet the specs.
I think anybody can build a fuel motor as long as it's a copy of the current fuel Hemi.
With that thought in mind I have to wonder why ford would spend all that money to copy the current fuel Hemi.
Time will tell!

Mike Neff and Robert Hight will move to TF so that John and his three girls can have a FC team.



EDIT: This is not any sort of speculation at all, nor have I heard this from anyone -- I just formulated it in my brain because it made sense.

Re: Force(s) to drive A/Fuel in 08?

Torco’s CompetitionPlus.com has learned from an unimpeachable source that Brittany and Courtney Force’s foray into Top Alcohol Dragster is a precursor for Top Fuel.

First line of the piece says it all.

Britney almost always comes off that way to me. She's seems like the brat of the pack. She may be a great girl but she comes off as the most rebellious of the 3 and the most standoffish. Courtney is a cutie, too bad she didn't take up bikini modeling.

I doubt John would do something like that, it would not endear him to the fans if he had half the field at his house.

Re: Force(s) to drive A/Fuel in 08?

Funny you should ask that, in an upcoming article - we asked him that very thing.

“That’s not going to happen,” Force said. “The NHRA came to me when I said I was building a fourth team. I told them I didn’t want to do it if there was going to be some kind of rule. They said there was no problem. After that was set in play, the rule came out limiting to four teams. If you try to do it like NASCAR and put the team in the name of a relative then they will know what we were doing.

“First of all, I don’t want to do it. If it can’t be part of my deal then I don’t want to do it. That’s just the way it will be.”
