Force Update
John Force Racing
Great pics and movie of John getting in and out of a show car, and also a sneak peak at the JFR 3 rail COT so to speak.

Re: Force Update
Wow, that almost brought tears to my eyes. It's so good to see him moving around again and in good spirits.

Re: Force Update
That was awesome to see.
Just curious are those normal racing gloves or something special due to the injuries?

Re: Force Update
I'm not a big Force fan, but I am glad to see him up and around and being able to get in and out of the car

I am with you. It was great to see him get in and out of the car and then the look on his face was priceless. Many people would not have been able to heel so quickly from such injuries, but John has shown what heart and determination will do.

Re: Force Update
That was awesome to see. Did you guys notice the chassis? I think for the first time since the early 70's, the chassis is noticably different. Take a look at the upper shoulder loop. Force looks like he's really sitting down in the car as compared to chassis designs up to this point.

Re: Force Update
Speaking of Force, has anybody heard if "Driving Force" will be back on A&E anytime soon?

I was told by a friend that watched it regularly that it got dropped do to lack of ratings which doesn't surprise me.
It's good to see him becoming his old self again.
