Having seen countless thousands of races while chief announcer at Muncie Dragway (including Austin Coil with the Chi Town Hustler) I fell in love with the sport of drag racing.. it may be because it was rebellious and part of my youth. Being a senior citizen now (even older than Force) I admire what John has accomplished as a racer and as a pioneer in safety. NHRA started out as "Dedicated to safety" and convinced all who would give it a look this sport is here to stay. Well done, John Force and team!

I'm 63 and been watching John race from day one. I remember a interview he made and said if I dont win today I will have to go back to driving a truck. John your the best.

He is a true icon of this greatest sport of ours when I come to visit from Australia I will be sure to visit there.

John's the GOAT . I remember when Drag racer's fought to stay alive now I see money has came to it in a huge way . about time

I have met John numerous times over the years. He has given me some of his memorabilia and I have given him some items for his museum. I also have an autographed race card from Eric. John is one of the nicest drivers I have had the pleasure to meet.

Very impressive, never thought he kept everything in house, state of Art machining centers.. Thanks John and crew for all the entertainment..

Love him or Loathe him,the man is a Drag Racing Legend!!

force is the true definition of the american dream he earned everything he accomplished got to meet him at maple grove what a great guy KEEP KICKING THEIR ASSSSSES

6:42. I have the Elvis car. Beautiful. It’s my favorite. Plus I’m a big fan of the King

Good stuff, Force is the King of the half track burnout!

years ago while working on the road, wherever we stopped John Force’s funny-car had been on display, the car was loaded up, when the crew displaying the car seen me trying to see in their hauler they opened the doors backup and let me stick my head in, I’ve always appreciated that minute Force’s crew gave me.

I just watch them run at mile high in Denver. Been big into racing and a big fan of his grow up with my dad on the couch watching him. First race ever wasn't able to meet him but seen him and his Brittany and Courtney run was a blast. Only guy to drive down return road and wave to everyone so much respect can't wait to meet you in Ennis in October

WOW!! This is a most excellent video! There's little more to be said about one of our favorite Top Fuel hero's. John Force has indeed come so far and has brought so much to the sport, so we fans can only say Thank YOU John for your personality, for your fun but focused nature and the down right "FORCE"ful determination you've shared with us for so many, many years. You, your sponsors and your family deserve every good fortune we've seen in this video, but we're as well joining you feeling the loss you, your team and Eric's family went and will continue going through. Wishing you every best wish for the future and best of luck designing an even safer 1/4 mile (1000' now days) Land Rocket we call these Top Fuel cars!

This is a truly beautiful video! There are subtleties that are present which make the vid, not only an incredibly professional piece, but also delivers emotion that carries you through to the final seconds. The music chosen couldn't have been any better as well. If there are awards given for excellence in videography, this one should be entered. IMO it would hold its own in competition with all others, with all genres considered. Excellent work John and Company!

Great time capture from the past to present and remembering those that carried the torch

I am one of John Force biggest fans and how many years ago and got sick I had to have a kidney transplant and go before that is on dialysis and I was on the machine for 12 years it's been two years March 28th 2020 this year I received a new kidney and now we have other things to worry about everybody's life is one thing I do before I can do anything else I would love to see that make it him again and I would love to meet the girls come watch them all race together sniff my goal godspeed with you all be safe when you're apart and together pray for you all the time thank you for your entertainment can you just excite me you make me feel like I want to jump up and down even more with you thank you for sharing your love drag racing with us all ❤🤗🙏🏻

So much inspiration. Team FORCE!!

Very nice facility and very nicely done ! I hope to see it some day !

John force........best interview in all of motorsports

A great American Hero. From meager beginnings to Riches. A truly nice and giving Family 😎🤗

They are drag racing royalty.What they accomplished in the sport of racing is unmatched bye anyone

❤❤❤I never missed an episode!

I wish I could meet him !! I respect this guy so much.

The Snake & Mongoose may have started the Race to the Top with Sponsorship, but John Force Finished the Race. Success@ X16. Well Done John.,

John is a legend. He could win no matter the equipment. But this shop and program is proof why top fuel classes have so few competitors and why the sport will eventually die. Even the highly above average racers cannot pay to play at this level. Multiple millions upon millions are forget it. And to think top fuel guys used to tow all they had around behind station wagons.

,,,,,,,Thank you Ashley.......I believe you had a big hand in this great video......I love the music,,,,,,reminds me of the movie soundtrack from 'Avatar' ,,,,,compelling,,,gripping.....and thus,,,,,everlasting in the ,,,mind.....

Hopefully a new Major sponsor will step forward soon , good luck in 2014!

John Force is why I am a drag racing fan.

Started watching John at NE Dragway Epping Nh early 70's

We were there in Oct. 2017. Pretty cool place.

So dominant when he wore that "FORD" badge on his cars

Took a quick tour of his showroom in Yorba Linda,Ca. Very cool place. Was about 15 years ago. Always enjoyed watching John Force race.

ah!, nice to see the "Brute Force"car, haven't seen since the early '70's at Irwindale!

Was hoping to see John's fastest ride. While at the southern nationals I seen john make a pass. His daughter was.in the next set of funny cars . John (like any proud dad would. Jumped onto the.pit bike and was at the starting line before was started the car. I was very proud as a dad to see this in person. John your the man.

John sure has come a long way from growing up in Bell Gardens....I think he is the best active driver in the sport, One of the all time greatest drivers to ever race!!!!!!!!.....For all Johns success racing, His real accomplishment is his family......I like watching his daughters race......I consider them very good drivers.....Eric was lucky to have had such great friends as John and his family....

I can't wait to see what the future holds for John Forcing Racing :)

I used to help a guy who had a fabrication shop in Angola,IN. called Top Speed Fab. We built alot of stuff for John Force racing. I've been in Johns shop in Brownsburg three times when we went there to deliver some things. If you go to the FB site Top Speed Fabrication you can see photo's of some of the stuff we built. We did 14 of his trucks when he changed brands.

Awesome video

Im in England .John is Mr Drag Racing .Love His inter Views He Talks Fasted then he Walks.Over The Years.He is Still No1 in My Books . its Just a Shame He Never Came 2 UK at Santa Pod Racway ?

amazing !!

I had the privilege of serving as the track Chaplain at Indianapolis for 9 years and was able to meet and get to know a lot of these drivers and crew members. The heartaches and tragedy’s that I’ve been able to share in are, by the most part, never known by the general race fans so here is my advice. Don’t be too quick to judge or criticize anyone, you’ve probably never walked in their shoes.

so cool keep it up

Thank you

That sign that says "Lion Country Safari / Orange County Raceway" was located on Irvine Center Rd. close to Lake Forest Rd. just down the street from me. I was going to snag that sign, but it looks like John got to it first.

gotta love john force and his family. sometimes tho when watching his latest interviews it seems all the nitro inhalation made him a bit goofy lol

Look like my garage,sweet!!!

EXCELLENT!!

Have been a fan during the times we (colors ) only watch from outside tracks. I met ur daughter Ms Ashley in Memphis, TN got a picture sign and she explained how she got into racing and ur family. After meeting her I became a follower of John Force Racing. c u n in both Houston and Dallas 2016. a fan!!!

🏟🏈🏟🏈🏟🏈🏟😜 very awesome Place Mr Force thanks for the view I've been watching you my whole life James Kansas City Missouri👍

I'm lucky enough to to live in brownsburg Indiana I live by the headquarters and by the track 👍

Big john with all those nice toys ya got n that fab shop, I think it’s time we discuss building PULLING TRACTORS💪💪 hey it’s just drag racing on dirt lol!! It would fit you perfect big dog👊👍👍

The Race Team is Very blessed...God-speed.

Where I reside, there is no drag strip or motorsports facility in my town. So, in 2017....I went to Vegas and attended the Toyota Nationals. During touring the pits area, I can to watch John Force's pit crew do maintenance on his funny car. I then saw his team start to wear industrial respirators and ear muffs. They started the car to do a test and my eyes started to burn and tear badly....my breathing was bad that I was choking.....I never ever forgot that! I returned to town and told my boss what happened. He shook his head in disbelief and told me "i bet thats the FIRST TIME you had a close encounter with nitrous oxide huh......I said "no shit!!!"

Just Amazing from bologna sandwiches to FORCE EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!

He's truly living a dream life. Would be so cool to have accomplished a 1/10 of his racing career.

AMAZING HUMAN BEING!!

the coolest person on the face of the earth !

What fun. What fun

Jesus this place in unreal!! I gotta go here. Thanks for shooting this. It says his net worth is 14 million. lol. It’s gotta be way more than that not ?

Is the public allowed to visit both of these places?

I spend allot of time at Sanair race track in St Pie Quebec. It is where he won his first big race sure wish i was there back when top fuel raced here. Goint to Wendys restaurant in Granby to make a few bucks has sure changed for him and his family.

What is the name of the 2 songs. I would like to purchase them.

John Force is the best inventor in his sport he is the king

im going to drag racing tommorow

We went to the fall Nationals in Ennis Texas and John turned in 333 mph. 70 hasn't slowed him down

Looks like the ol' boy's done pretty well for himself !

John Force is great, but my favorite driver is Robert Hight. Go Team Force!!!!

I've always been a fan of Johns' team, ever since I went to my first drag race at 6 years old. I was never a fan of Ford in particular, but John as a person was, and still is so damn good at the sport, and has so much passion for it, that I didn't even care who his team was sponsored by. Still, I'm sorry to hear you guys are losing Castrol, but maybe not so sorry you're losing Ford, haha. I say, try and get in with MOPAR! They need more business, and you need a new sponsor! Besides, MOPARs have always been hangin' in neck-n-neck with your Ford team. But, at the end of the day, whether your car says Ford, Dodge, or Chevy, you're all running Chrysler-based HEMIs baby!

Still doing it at his age, and still good at it. That's saying something

The man is my idol, now, always, forever!...he’s 70 and STILL kicking ass.. and what’s better, he’s now doing it with CHEVROLETS backing 😎 go JFR

How many sponsors does he have?

I got to paint John's first shop in yorbalinda ca.I was the one who was having fun

Thx

In this Day and age it's a good idea to have your own Media Company .. When it comes to Personalities I have to route for Force over Schumacher from what I have seen...go down..

There aren't many people I emulate at this age but I do. Drive mustangs and use castrol much love John I'm with you. Dpm

GO #TeamForce!

Don't know which oil company will sponsor him next but that'll be my new brand.Thanks to Castrol for their sponsorship over the years.

สุดยอดมากครับ ชอบมาก

Kind of hoping for a "Tour", like the title says. Not just music and a brief overview by video.

QUARTER MILE PERFORMANCE

He has been an inspiration for years. I enjoy his enthusiasm and energy! I have built cars for a long time. I would love to work on his team.

Hey John hey girls good job congratulations hope to see you soon whenever you guys get to Florida I hope to see you guys again you guys are so fun when you guys worked at the Maple Grove track you guys were awesome I just wanted to say I'm the biggest fan and I also work at the track I remember I was your security guard when you talk to you later have a good one good luck

John Force is the equivalent of what Bob Dylan is to Rock,.....He's a Legend of his craft.

EU QUERIA FAZER PARTE DESTA EQUIPE DE DRASGT .

Bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good FATHER TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jr desert inn room #110 moab,ut 2 yrs.

Hero to me forever

Nice

Great video thanks. Makes me sad to think that the little guy is done with big racing. It takes this corporate machine to compete.

Courtney Force she's great

Now he drives Chevrolet Camaros! I like him even more now!

I have his autograph and a Picture with him and my dad!

Paid with bologna sandwich’s now that has a very nice ring to a story

THANK YOU FROM CLAYTON THOMAS

John force is the Dale Earnhardt of Drag race regardless of the haters say Ppl love to win but hate winners

That all folks

If anyone deserves success coming up from nothing Johhny boy does. He worked his butt for years never quite getting to the top then there was no stopping him.

crazy to see castrol and ford leaving JFR after 20+ years. i hope to see John and Brittany come out of this hole by the 2015 season with a new beginning, a new sponsorship to keep doing what they are doing!

John if you reading any of this tell him Bart said hi from the old school

Jonhe corsé👍
