I want to know how much the drivers are making.

Re: Just wanted to say hi, but this has been a hassle!

John-- thanks for coming on board. To me this is one of the great things about the internet. A chance for you -the broadcaster- to interact with us the fans who are receiving the information. By being on this forum you can take the pulse of the fans and it can give an important perspective to your work. So-- keep in touch!!! That said... I would like to see more time spent explaining the workings of the engine. Even though I have been a rabid drag racing fan for over thirty years I am not a gearhead .I have learned a little over the years but I want to know more.

Re: Just wanted to say hi, but this has been a hassle!

John,
the first race you covered this year sounded as if you'd been with
the NHRA group for years.
no suggestions from me; i think the NHRA telecasts have only gotten
better with each passing year and to echo what others have
already stated, you are a fantastic addition to the team.
I also miss your previous RPMtonight show.

i thought the super-slo-mo camera
segwaying into and out of commercial breaks was great.

Re: Just wanted to say hi, but this has been a hassle!

I know the suits at ESPN will never let it happpen...! BUT I'd like to see a bit of coverage of the "lower" classes,at least the Finals in Comp,Super Stock and Super Stock.
And maybe a short piece on some of the unusual cars that that run in Comp Eliminator.
But I'm sure it would cut into "THE JOHN FORCE SHOW" portion of the program..............

I like the one on John's left ... I likes 'em tall!!! Now all I need to do is get a funny car and a sponsor that requires scantily clad women and I am in business!
