It’s tradition for decades😃
wow
Need to go back to the Mustangs…
True he was doing fine with Fords. I think that Austin Coil had so much influence with John, if Austin didn't leave, John would not
be having these problems. Austin left. That was his decision and he has earned it. John has been in touch with Austin during these latest
problems he has been having. I say, temporarily ask Austin to come back for a short time to get the problem solved.
I think Austin Coil was a top rate crew chief.
Dam Jon are you sure you didn't piss off the Clinton's !
Last week they traced the problem to main bearing failure ( they called it "blacked the bearing"). It's a good bet they will start the diagnosis there.
Switch to (Your Tax Dollar Bailout) cheby and that'll happen!
You can only push so far. Simple physics, but immutable. And stop saying its John's fault. Its not his fault when the tuning is in someone else's control. Every driver is pushing their vehicle just as fast as they can, each and every time and most, if not all, have had engines detonate on them. You're playing with liquid dynamite, for crying out loud, people. Its as close to rocket propulsion science as you can get.
Making Chevy look bad,please go back to ford.
Ever think death is next, some only get two but three chances…..
Step back and consider what everything and everyone.
Hey John, maybe time to hit the beach bud!
3 Strikes the tune man is out !
Three times in a row time to retire you got nothing to prove 16 championships nobody's ever going to beat that
Somedays you feel like the windshield,
And somedays you feel like the Bug !
Chevy quality
Force fired any good tuner he had like mike neff to dsr he has pencil neck jerks tuning his car I feel sorry for Jfr going Nowhere
All Funnycars are the same different bodies dasaa
NEEDS TO TALK TO THE COIL
go electric
Taco Bell and g forces, pushes the gas out into the cab, then probably a bed plug wire and kapowww! Methane explosion…💨💨💨💨😵
its a great marketing move, keep blowing up. It makes its rounds and even makes it to some main stream news. Great strategy for Team Force.
Glad he's okay! Guess it's time to scrap those Chevys and go back to Ford!!!
Wow!$$$$$$$= it starts to get Painful,,,time change the Left or Right side Valve assembly Mechanic? What do think ??
Just glad he walked away
I'll be glad when there's no more Force's in drag racing
Blower ejection caused by hung intake valve. Right bank but you can't see which cylinder dropped out because the body is in the way. Once that exploding charge comes back up the into the intake it's a quick bomb. No way to stop it.
I have to admit that I stopped watching the NHRA years ago when it became The Force Family Follies. Surprised they didn't show the rest of the family hugging it out after this blowout.
They put sponsors on the screen over the drag strip?
What a joke
Bummed out what is happening !!!!
Why have you geoblocked all your content now??
He has had lots of problems since he started using Chevrolet engines. Watching how fast they rebuild those engines makes one wonder if errors were made building the engines.
Chevy Sponsor says it all. Give him his Ford Sponsor back so the proper techs can set his car up.
