Not trying to drop names here, but I know Adria (as well as John) and if any of you knew Adria, you would instantly understand she doesn't like anything to do with the limelight of her father. That's just her.

Sure you'll see her once in a while on TV, but for the most part it's as far away from a camera as possible.

Adria is a wonderful gal. Not bad to look at either! (She has her mom, Lana's looks)(John's first wife and high school sweetheart) At Pomona, Adria will not even go to the starting line, choosing to watch the races and Robert from the General Admission stands! (a true fact) I would love to give you what area all of us usually sit in, but then it would ruin a great place to watch the races!

Enjoy the show and enjoy John. He is everything you see on TV and more. Just one of the great characters in every form of racing.

Also, Adria never situated at the end of the track, ever.

If I am not mistaken I believe the woman that is at the end of track in the area where they get out of the cars. That woman that helps them get thier gear off, I believe that, that is Adria. I believe that I seen that in one of the shows during one of the seasons.

Adria is the daughter of John Forces first wife Lana. Lana is very unattractive and was quite wild. She married multiple times so Adria grew up with many-a- stepfather. I'm glad to see John moved on and that Adria is happily married with a small child. I agree that the grandchild should be at least mentioned if John is such a family man now.

You're right 73Challey....I meant drag racing. I guess I just don't know the whole story on Adria and it's not my place to complain about whether or not Force says she's one of his daughters on the show. I do think the show has brought out alot of the true feelings that a drag race family goes through. It's just hard to take my idle and reduce him to a mere man.

The press releases by JFR regarding Driving Force prior to the first episode of the show said that the show wouldn't emphasize the JFR team, but rather him and his daughters. It would be less about drag racing and more about John establishing a relationship with them. That's also why you don't see Medlin... But that's the other thread.

Not to speak for Minnow, but I don't think he means Height's status on the show, but rather in Drag Racing. He was a top driver last year as a rookie, and is strong this year as well. He's becoming one of the favorites at every event, now.

You can find some insight about seeing Adria in future episodes here, as well as other info... Third paragraph.

She isn't absent from the track. Infact, I have seen Hight toting their baby around on espn2 on several occaisions which would lead me to believe she was at the track too. I doubt anyone is trying to hide her from anyone, especially her Father. She has a high visability role in JFR. She just hasn't been mentioned on the show, and that may very well be because of her own wishes. I read on a blog that she will be seen in later episodes anyways. So don't get upset over it.

But I don't see how Hight is fast becoming a super star on the drag racing show? Please explain? I recall seeing him once in one episode.

I can understand that she might want her privacy but her husband drives for Force and she should know all to well about the press. I'm just saying that on the show John refers to the fact that he has three daughters when in fact he has four and should at least acknowledge Adria. Sooner or later Adria will have to accept the fact that she will have to face the press, Robert is fast becoming a superstar in the drag racing show.

Ummm... Maybe she doesn't want to be on the show and wants her privacy?

Since Adria is John's daughter, it would be nice if he would acknowledge that he has 4 daughters not 3 as he's done on the show. I would be extremely hurt if my father did that. Maybe there's an explaination for what he says and I would sure like to hear it. John has been one of my heros for a long time and this show is giving me mixed emotions about his character. I know first hand how hard it is to be a "family" when dad is on the road as much as he is and I think it has been extremely touching that John now know's what a beautiful family he has and how he's trying to make his relations with them better.

I believe he is married to the oldest daughter, who I have not actually seen on the show (I've only seen a couple episodes). She is in her late 30's I think, and is part of the business side of the team.
