John Force answers a question

Ron Ortiz · 09-23-2007, 08:48 PM

While watching the races on TV just a few moments ago, a question was sent in from a fan. John Force responded to this enquiry. These are not word for word, but accurate in it's content.

Q. What is there to do at the races when the cars are not on the strip?

A. See the manufacturers midway, sample the food, try your hand at the simulators, see engines being maintained in pit areas.

Jees, I wonder if he knows about all the cool sportsman cars that are in the pits next to all that asphalt?

Ron,
I hope you posted this without knowing about the wreck that nearly killed him.

After watching the video of the crash it "appears" Force had an engine explosion and veered hard right into Bernstein who was hugging/crossing the center line--- Totally unavoidable by Bernstein just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time---But you are right about suggesting a walk around to see what else is out there---But a lot of these guys have no idea what is out there they never came up thru the ranks as sportsman racers so they would not know enough to reccommend something like that---Comp 387

The part of the car that Kenny hit didn't have John in it. And where the cage is cut off it has to be driveline that did the damage. I watched it over and over and it looks like the left rear tire was chunking, ( didn't pop ). Maybe causing the body to come apart, then a flash in the ****pit. At that time the chutes came out and the back half of the frame was pull threw the back of the car. The rest of the car went across the lane and Kenny hit it. John the rearend, tires, chutes and part of the cage flipped and eneded up in his own lane.

I hope all goes well and he's back before we know it.

Just saw John Force in a serious accident, I sincerely hope he is OK.
Tim H, your post is not amusing nor is it needed.
