Ashley Force wins in Atlanta...

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

... beating father and NHRA legend John Force!

And this, my friends, is a first in NHRA FC history!

Yes, I cheat. I don't normally watch ESPN's NHRA coverage.

ATLANTA - Funny Car Final, Round 4 Eliminations

Is their show still on?

Is their show still on?

Yes, it's on ESPN2HD right now.

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

That race right there, the quarterfinal race, was CLOSE!

 

[sockgirl77]

Yes, it's on ESPN2HD right now.

What channel is that?

What channel is that?

209 on DirecTV.

Here's the article, btw, part of RFTW's continuing series on women in motorsports: RacingForTheWin.com - Ashley Force wins in Atlanta

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

What channel is that?

Won't air until AFTER 10:15, IndyCar race ran late.

"I hope I kick that old man's butt"

They talk trash to each other and then, they hug. You don't see that everyday in NHRA (soon to be) Full Throttle Drag Racing.

It's a basic channel, ESPN2. :shrug:

Found it. It said the World Series of Poker. Thank you!

Okay, I've been playing the Paul Page Drinking Game.

Everytime he says history, drink one. But I'm already

That was awesome.

Drink another one.

Oh BTW, Laurie Cannister with Kalbones Racing still hasn't lost a round yet this year in AFC IHRA NitroJam, don't you?

Didn't know, but kudos to her.......

Like I said in my SC on RFTW, it looks like Ashley, Danica and Laurie are stepping up, kicking azz and taking names.

I hope Ashley wins the championship, but it's a long way to Pomona. I like what Ashley's mom said - John Force is going to get that 1,000th round win - but Ashley's victory speaks for itself.

Laurie Cannister is going to win the championship with ease. Kalbones made their first start at the Cup last year and they've won every round they've raced since debuting at Maryland.

Did you try playing the ESPN Paul Page drinking game?
