Inside the Team Force Pit

When I was in the tower I struck up a conversation with a member of Team Force who handles public relations. He extended an invitation for me to come into the compound when they warmed up the cars before the second qualifying session. Being the Team Force fan that I am I naturally jumped at this opportunity. As I was there I shot the following photos.

Courtney Force's Traxxas funny car body up and off the car

John Force was everywhere, taking care of business, fans, etc. He has amazing energy.
Courtney spent a lot of time with the fans, signing pictures, posing for photos and chatting.

Courtney makes it look easy, but look at the Traxxas girl's face, who looks overwhelmed by it all
Always a smile. She's awesome.
John, too: he spent every extra minute he had with the fans, signing autographs and chatting.

As all that was going on, here's Mike Neff's team getting the car ready for its warm-up. They were going about their business patiently and methodically

It's well known that John is a real family man, and these photos speak for themselves.

Right back to work signing autographs and speaking with fans

...and Courtney cooling down (still smiling, of course)
