HAPPY BIG 60 JOHN ! !


Be sure you have both fire bottles from your Funny Car before you light all 60 of those.

Sun. 05.03.09: ESPN's Gary Gerould: John you will be 60 years old tomorrow. Any thoughts?
John "The Brute" Force: (Talking 300 mph) Well ya know me and my ol' heap can still kick anyones [beep] on the track. Everyone keeps askin me when I'm goina start winning Wally's again. Well ya know, I have a lot of mouths to feed, gotta keep my girls happy, keep trying to make my wife happy (*under his breath* aww never happen), run around doin all these interviews and promos to keep NHRA happy, doin appearances and on the phone day and night tryin to keep my sponsors happy, oh and I gotta keep sellin all the diecast cars, merchandise, signin 1,000's of autographs a day… I've leaving a ton out here but……. umm what was the question again?
ESPN's Gary Gerould: Thanks John but our program is only three hours long. - Parity, fla

FlA Says: Thursday night, April 23, my GF and I were watching on the big screen the Anaheim - San Jose NHL Stanley Cup playoff game at the Honda Center in Anaheim. At the end of the first period a 4.0 earthquake shook the building for a couple of seconds. I went in my home office and looked it up on the internet. The quake originated in the Yorba Linda area. I went back in the media room and told my GF not to worry. The quake came from where John Force lives. A supplier or someone must have pissed him off on the telephone. She asked if I was serious, I said yes, and she laughed as she said "now that is wild". True Story

"Fast Jack" Beckman on losing to John yesterday: "That's Force's birthday present *laughs*. He ain't getting any more and mine's next month."
John, you’re the man, you will always be the man, and don't you ever forget it!

Think he’ll slow down now that he’s “middle aged” (his words)?

Happy birthday!
