I consider anyone insane if they step out of a car that just exploded at 250+mph for the 3rd time in a season, and make a statement similar to "Well I saw that right head light up and I knew she was gonna come apart, but I peddled that ol hot rod and got her stopped. But we'll roll the backup off the trailer and be out there next round."
We NEED a John Force in our sport/hobby/passion! (Butt, I sure wouldn't want to have grown up as his kid...)
Im a fan of John Force and I watched both episodes of Driving Force. Having grown up in a drag racing family I was hoping for a little more emphasis on the actual racing part, namely John Force's racing. While his daughters are nice to look at, it got really boring follwing their teenage "lives" outside the racing world..it was cool to see them racing though so who knows... If you've ever seen a "post race interview" with Force you already know about his zany take on life and racing...
Man...It's sad that I can't think of one person that could even be compared. Edit: I take that back...John is alright, but he's no Davie Stone.
I haven't seen that show, but I have always believed that John Force drinks some of that fuel he uses in his race car. The man makes Miguel DuHamel and Jake Zemke sound like Mick Doohan and Dani Pedrosa.
So I am to understand that his old lady tossed him out of the house 7 years ago but doesn't want a divorce? My uncle always resented me and my brother. He had a Studebaker dealership that I think he wanted to keep in the family. He had five daughters from two marriages.
