Not good news - John Force

[#18FAN]

He is doing what is called "deep staging" where he is effectively shortening the run by a couple inches and taking advantage of a faster reaction time over his competitor.

Yea I know that he mostly does it and been doing it to get in there heads.

Yep, in 4 years he’ll be old enough to retire from racing and run for president

As some team members said to me, he is expected to recover. He is improving, but it doesn't happen overnight.

The time has come to shorten the track by another 120 feet to 880’ for fuel cars.
Force is finished. No sponsor will want to touch him with a ten foot pole.
He’ll be found wandering around the fuel pits signing autographs.
