I think it's funny some people think Force is rushing Ashley, yet not a peep was heard when he put Medlen and Hight in the car. Both of those guys had far less experience in racing than Ashley will have whenever she makes the move.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I was away from NHRA when Force put Hight and Medlen in (blame the crappy Canadian TV deal) but I remember hearing that they weren't exactly seasoned veterans. What was/is Hight and Medlen's racing background?

Hight was a long time crew member and is John Force's son-in-law. I am not aware of any racing he did before testing the Funny Car in '04 to race in '05. His only prior sporting experience was as a championship trap shooter (that I am aware of).

Medlen is John Medlen's son, long time Force co-crew chief. I am also not aware of any racing he did other than testing in '03 to race in '04. his only prior sporting experience was as a rodeo cowboy, riding bareback broncos I believe.

As you can see, Ashley will be a long ways ahead of these guys on the learning curve when she steps up to Funny Car.

Chris,
Eric had his alky dragster ticket (A/Fuel actually) prior to getting in the flopper. He leased Ben Marshall's car to do the required runs.
