Will it looks like John Force is back and I'm glad to see that. Hope he wins The Winter Nationals.

It will be good to see Force back in the driver's seat. NHRA drag racing wouldn't be the same without him.

Oakley-mater is reporting that Force ran another .78 in testing Tuesday at Fireturd:
didn't take Coil & Fedderly long to get the new chassis up to speed, if-even for just a few passes.


Same story has Schumacher ripping-off another 4.48, and Vetteman's fiancee Hillary Will going 4.49 @ 331, so 'Koon-rahd' will be happy.

Final pre-seaon test will be this weekend at 'the Strip at LVMS', but I think only the Pro Stockers will be running there:
REAL bullets go in the gun the following week in Pomona.
