And for wanting to throw down with a now-former friend...

From the NHRA their own selves...
Funny Car racer John Force has been fined $10,000 by NHRA for an incident involving physical contact with an NHRA official Monday, Sept. 7, during the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals presented by Lucas Oil at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
Videotape from the event showed Force making physical contact with an NHRA official at the top end of the racetrack during a confrontation with fellow Funny Car driver Tony Pedregon.
Such physical contact violates the Participant Conduct policy as stated in the 2009 NHRA Rulebook. The fine, which Force can appeal, must be paid in full prior to participation at any future NHRA event.
In the semifinals, with Robert Hight needing to beat Force to knock Cruz Pedregon out of the 10th spot in the Countdown, Force smoked his tires midway through the run as Hight pulled away. After Tony Pedregon lost to Force-Hood in the second semifinal, he walked past Force and accused him of losing on purpose.
Those of us at OSG HQ think that we see this in NASCAR all the time...
It's called blocking...
If you have the better car, show it...
As we say: Don't just sing it, bring it...
C'mon, Gerould...
The end result was that Ashley Force-Hood became the first woman to ever win the US Nationals in a Funny Car...
Huzzahs to you and yours...
