Below: Trudy was also encouraged by Ashley Forces' friendliness, confidence and professional growth. At this race like Hillary, Ashley signed her promo picture "To Ms. Cabrera's Class" which Trudy also shared with her Elementary students. Illustrating to them that they all could achieve anything they set their eyes on and worked hard to achieve. Ashley's a winner!

Above and Below: Ashley Force and John Force prior to their qualifying runs at the Spring Nats. John was all business at this event and not his usual boisterous self. Between rounds, Trudy is next in line to get John's signature on her John Force Limited Edition numbered (195 of 500) Penant. It reads: JOHN FORCE - FIRST TO 100 NHRA WINS - APRIL 14, 2002 - HOUSTON TEXAS. Trudy purchased the Penant in Pomona California at the NHRA Drag Racing Museum.

Ashley Force and John Force were up next to run each other in their Force Flopper Mustangs.
