Ominous clouds made brief appearances over the 14-time champion\u2019s shop but a comfortable breeze was the only weather variance all day as thousands of toys were dropped off making a mountain of memories for children this Christmas season. From 10 a.m. until well after 4 p.m. today toys, stuffed animals and games poured into the John Force Racing shop as fans filled the streets. Tens of thousands of people wandered through one of the largest collections of vintage cars, trucks and street rods.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[6713]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6720\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Autograph session for John Force Racing car show\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205.jpg\" alt=\"Autograph John Force Racing car show\" width=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-205-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[6713]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6719\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"John Force with his own Woodie hot rod\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113.jpg\" alt=\"John Force show Hot Rod TV his own Woodie hot rod\" width=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/JFR-Dec-113-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the hundreds of car club vehicles a number of specialty vehicles were on display including the Force Borthers \u201cNightstalker,\u201d Funny Car which returned to competition this year in a one-off event at Norwalk, Ohio, plus Jay Leno\u2019s 1955 Buick Roadmaster custom, a $2 million Bugatti Veyron, a collection of \u201cmonster rods\u201d built from Peterbilt trucks and an historic Amphicar designed for road or water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday was awesome.
