not a thing wrong with what he did. as the team owner he is responsible to his sponsors, to keep them, he needs as many cars in the final as possible. if pedragon doesnt like what force did to get a team member in the final and bump him out of it, he should have tried harder all season so he wasnt in that situation to begin with. im not a john force fan, but he puts winners on the line, and does what he has to to remain there.
No dis-respect. You're entitled to your opinion. I understood the crux of this matter to be John's attitude and juvenile response...
With that said, I disagree with the "team" concept. This is drag racing. This is heads up drag racing. Drag racing is (should be) one on one. We're not talkin' index or dial-in's. IMHO this should be quickest racer wins. Period. The "team" part of this sport is the crew(just like any other "one on one" sport). The problem (which was stated) comes from multiple cars representing a single entity. That sounds more like football or baseball where the "team" succeeds or fails as a unit, not by the individual competitor.
Anyway, it's too bad a person of John's stature and accomplishment cannot act in a more professional manner. Again, that's where the big grin comes from.
