Almost 13 years later. No fan is happier that John Force is still around than me. He and his family are nothing but class.

I wrecked 2 weeks after you did John in a Blown funny car and went end over end and survived from having all my safety equipment on board. Thank for all your support.

God Bless you John Force. I’m 67 yrs old and have enjoyed many years of watching you and your team race. I love all you guys and gals that do this but please stay safe. That’s what matters. You are the best in my book but you probably need to slow down and tad. Haha. Love and respect for all of the racing world.

I hadn't ever seen this, or this side of Force - this is profound... He's right, I've been in that spot after 7 surgeries thus far, and in amputee wards every one of those times, I got lots of love & respect for him now that I never did before.

I remember hearing about John's crash in Dallas with Kenny Berstein in 2007 and I wasn't happy that my favorite driver had a crash that bad as I was told but thank God John was ok after the crash and he's still kicking butt in Funny Car today!

Looks like the pylon thrown by Bernstein’s car caused Force’s car to blow a rear tire and create the whole scenario. If safety is a focus, I have to ask, what purpose at all do those pylons serve. If they are a visual distance marker for drivers, they could be replaced with something else. Either paint or the rubber mounted plastic reflectors that stay stationary.

Eric Medlen would probably still alive, and John never would have had this crash, if McKinney hadn't been building illegal frames with hardened tubing. The spec at the time mandated Condition N (normalized, unhardened) tubing. Robert Hight's car had the same failure, but lucky for him they caught between rounds and he was a no-show when it couldn't be fixed.
