 I’ve been fortunate enough to attend several drag races this year and I have such a great time that I like to write about my experiences. I’m definitely not enough of a motorhead to be able to report on the technical aspects of racing, but I do like sharing the interesting things I see and hear while hanging out with the teams. I was very surprised to learn that many of the teams don’t know each other very well unless they’ve been racing together for years. They recognize the other drivers’ names and their cars and they wave as they pass in the staging lanes, but often that’s as far as it goes. After spending time with various teams, I understand how that happens. There is a lot to focus on throughout the day to ensure that your car makes it down the track in the manner that you expect and walking next door to see if your neighbor likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain is not part of it. So we’ve decided it’s time to devote a corner of the web to getting to know the teams! And since the teams do such a great job of taking care of me, giving me water, and patting me on the head, my dad has started referring to me as the Pit Pet.

 When John Force looks at Terry Haddock, he’s reminded of himself thirty years ago.
Those were the days when he didn’t have two nickels to rub together and accepted free hamburgers as a sponsorship just so the crew could eat. Yet he found a way to race.
Force sees in Haddock the same qualities that helped him to become one of the most streetwise and successful team owners in the nitro pits.
Today, Force is on the other end of the scale.
