John Force Wins 15th NHRA Funny Car Title!
He’s done it again! That legend of NHRA funny car racing, John Force won his 15th Funny Car Championship this past Sunday. He came from behind with a “forceful” effort in the Auto Club NHRA finals. He had been trailing competitor Matt Hagan by 38 points prior to Sunday’s eliminations but in an interesting turn of events, Hagan lost to Bob Tasca in the first round. It was 61 year old Force’s second round win, defeating Bob Bode that secured title number 15. It’s the first since 2006, when Force ended up with bad leg injuries in Texas during a crash at Ennis. Force is happy to be back with his arms and legs in good shape and Sunday’s win proves he’s as great at ever.
Auto World is truly excited about John Force’s latest Championship win, with the imminent release of the Auto World John Force NHRA Electric Slot Racing Drag Strip Set! The buzz over this truly exciting product has been overwhelming! It includes a working electronic “Christmas Tree” starting light and a victory light indicator at the end of the track. Auto World 4Gear™ Slot Racers of John and Ashley Force’s car are included along with precision speed controllers and more. Click here for more information.

Hi Tony…
So does that mean if I preordered from John Foces store, that it’s getting shiped to him first before it gets shipped to me ? or are you guys drop shipping them?
Thanks
Eric
If you have ordered from John Force’s store, the product will be delivered to there store first then they will ship the product out to you.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Tony

Why are all three versions of the Batmobile slotcar showing up on evil bay but not on the AW website? I want to order all three but not from ebay.
Okay, I was able to get the standard from another site…but I still don’t understand why they aren’t even pictured on this site? Is there any way at all for me to direct order the white lightning Batmobile?
Okay, ignore the above posts but not this one.
I just got my black and chrome Batmobile slot cars. I lovem! except for one thing. STOP putting PAINT on the windows please! It ruins the look of the car. I understand the rollbar is part of the canopy but couldn’t the paint be put on the underneath of the windows?
Looks like a lot of fun. My set has a problem with the lights in the xmas tree. How do you email someone for some help. Can’t find an email address. Ron
Does anyone even answer these posts or are we all alone in here?
Okay, so my iWheels Batmobile arrived today. IT doesn’t have the cardboard display stand either! I now have three BATMOBILES from AW that do not have the display stand with the Alex Ross artwork. WHY???
Bad enough that UPS charges rediculous shipping fees, and took my car on a ride halfway around the country, but now I get my car (second order) and it has no display stand! I am a collector, just like most of the people that come to this blog. To me as well as many others the stand, even though it’s just printed cardboard, is essential for display. Other people have gotten thiers. Is it coming in a seperate package??

This is Tony Karamitsos Brand Manager for Auto World and I’m sorry to hear about you not receiving your display stands.
Please email your contact information to Douglas Ridge and he will send you three display stands.
His email is: dridge@autoworldstores.com
Thanks!

I’m hoping that party and darticus are welcome to follow the same link. Thank you for your consideration and Doug is already taking care of my problem. Now that i’ve re-read the above posts I realise my problem was minor compared to thiers.
I’m sure now that you’ll act just as quickly to resolve thier matters.
I recieved my stands yesterday, as promised. Thank you. I hope the other gentleman got thier problems taken care of as well.
I apologise for my apparent ire, but please see things from my standpoint. Several posts had been made and after more than a week NOONE had answered any of them. It makes little sense to me to have these blogs if there’s noone there to answer them. It started to seem as though we were purposely being avoided.
I realise you have alot to do Tony, but if this is part of the job…
I was wondering, is the planned Scooby Doo set and Ghostbuster Caddy still in the works? And what about a Penguinmobile variant? Inquiring minds want to know.
