Talking to some friends at JFR, he's expected to be fine.

Force was able to escape the flames and climb to safety before getting in an ambulance.

That's encouraging.

Time to hang it up . He has nothing to prove . He's had an awesome career .

Like teammate Austin Prock just said, "he's John Force, he'll be fine".

Lol. Everyone said that about Dale E. too until it wasn’t fine. Even the best can’t beat physics. Thankfully JF is gonna be A-ok.

Who says he's trying to prove something? Maybe it's something he enjoys doing instead of puttering around the house all day.

JF Strikes me as the kind of cat that would die quicker if he were to retire and try just sitting around. He's the type that has be going constantly.

 

[AZjeff]

Hope he retires before slowing reflexes kills him. There are no old bold racers and he's the boldest of them all. GOAT is right.

He's still fine in the skills department. I'm sure he'll retire when he decides to.

Chris "The Golden Greek" Karamesines, drove a Top Fuel Dragster until he was 89.

Of course he enjoys it . It's been his life for decades . Don't take my comments so literally .

I'm not a mind reader. I take what people write as being what they think.

That's one tough 75 year old!

Is he ok today?

Is he ok today?

I read they are keeping him in ICU, but he's basically just banged up pretty good.
