THOUSANDS TOUR JFR INDIANAPOLIS SHOP
INDIANAPOLIS (May 24, 2008) --- Thousands of race fans
paraded through the John Force Racing East shop today during the 2nd
annual Brownsburg Motorsports Network Open House. For over four hours
people steadily walked through the doors and got to see first hand
the tools of the trade that have garnered John Force fourteen
POWERade Funny Car World Championships and his team 176 NHRA national
event wins.
The tour led fans through the machine shop
where they were able to see the numerous MAG Fadal
machines that craft so many of Team Forces components. They
also saw the paint shop where eye-catching designs are applied to the
four JFR Ford Mustangs. Three of Forces 8,000 hp Ford Mustangs
were on display arranged in a true race day configuration complete
with open transports. Finally, the tour culminated for many fans with
an emotional exit through The Eric Medlen Tribute Room.
The Eric Medlen Tribute Room is a room inside
the shop that is dedicated to the six-time tour winner, remembering
his life in photos, displays and testimonials. Special sections for
the room are devoted to Eric as a calf-roping cowboy, to him and his
dad and to him and the drivers with whom he had a special bond: J.R.
Todd, Morgan Lucas, Brandon Bernstein and Ashley Force.
Members of John Force Racing staff were on-hand
to show-off the world class racing facility and answer questions
throughout the day. In addition to being impressed by the sheer
number of race fans that toured the shop they were pleased with the
responses the fans gave them as they wandered through the various areas. |
