Time for John Force to hang 'em up?

[x33rs]

I was there watching the races when it happened. The other guy got out on his own and was walking around, but John had to be removed. The wait to hear he was okay seemed like an eternity but finally after about 30 minutes they announced he was alert and communicating, which was met with loud cheers.
His daughter was strapped in and sitting in the burnout box when it happened. She got out and rushed down there. We all knew John was okay and back to normal when he was ticked about his race car, then told his daughter to get back up there and kick their asses LOL. She ended up bringing the trophy home so that was a cool ending.

There isn't much that can be done when the engine goes like that. I'm sure he couldn't see and didn't have much control after that. Doesn't help when the cars get tangled in each others chute's either. At that point they were both just along for the ride. Will be a sad day when he does retire though. He's a ball of energy, I always enjoy listening to him.

I for one hope he never retires! Chris Karamesines is in his mid 80's and still going. Force is 68. Driving a 10,000 plus hp wheelbarrow is no picnic and when they get out of the groove or go one to one and smoke the tyres, you're a passenger, regardless of who you are. The sport needs guys like him, as most of who come thru these days are sponsor driven robots. I miss the days of Al Hofmann, Whit Bazemore, Warren Johnson, Bob Glidden, Snake, 'Goose and the many others who were real race car drivers. More power to him!
