Re: Did Force and KB Crash?

From NHRA.com again:

Said Bernstein, who was not injured in the incident, "First of all I just pray that John's going to be okay," Bernstein said. "I know he's hurt and the main thing I'm praying for is that he gets 100-percent recovery. That's more important than anything right now for me, Sheryl, and our team. I know he was talking to me there and he was asking if he hurt me. That's typical John right there. He'll be okay. He's a strong-willed man, he'll be fine."

It has been nicknamed that due to the narrow grove and the crashes that occur due to the narrow grove.

First off i wasnt passing blame..Maybe it came out wrong...I wish the best for both teams and KB has been on of my favs. for a while. Can the motorplex not do anything about the narrow groove if it is so dangerous?? I raced there,but it was back in 96'.

Ashley is not running. Both Cruz and Tony get bye runs.

Glad to here he will be ok,

ESPN - NHRA legend Force airlifted after Funny Car crash - Racing

Well, it's too bad that the only time NHRA makes the front page of ESPN.com is when something bad happens.

Thoughts & prayers to the JFR family.

Well said, the incident with Kaptian Kaos and Allen was one of the major illustrations of the narrow groove

My thoughts exactly after seeing the footage He's lucky to have come out of this with his life. His car either blew a tire or just split in half right in fron of the driver. Kenny did cross the cones but it had nothing to do with the crash. Best wishes on a speedy recovery, man has this team been through a lot this year.

Re: Did Force and KB Crash?

GOD bless John, Laurie, the girls and the entire JFR "family". They need our thoughts and prayers once again. Those who know John from the "early days" know what a fighter "this old truck driver" really is! He'll bounce back from this, may take some time to heal but he'll be back to kick butt.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Boy, his organization sure has been put through the ringer this year. My heart goes out to them. They'll regroup, John will heal, and hopefully we'll see them racing again soon. Get well soon, John!

My thoughts and prayers are with John and his loved ones. Good for Ashley, family is more important than a race at this time. Get well John.
