Did Force and KB Crash? (3 Viewers)

[Paul]

Damn... KB is a veteren,does he know when to lift (this is my opnion,i have not seen footage,and am not knockin KB)?! This aint the 1980's type floppers anymore kb..... Best wishes to everyone at JFR.

Then why don't you keep your mouth shut until you see the footage? KB is not the first FC driver to cross the center line at the Motorplex. Kenny has proved time and time again he can handle the car. If my memory serves me right John crossed the centerline a couple of weeks ago. Instead of passing blame, pray for John!!!!

Mike...
NHRA posted basicly what Bobby posted here... semi's up now... don't think we'll know anything more until much later this evening... but Papa's season is over... and you know, in the long run, this makes everything else trivial...

Who's been murdered at the Motorplex?

From NHRA.com again:

Said Bernstein, who was not injured in the incident, "First of all I just pray that John's going to be okay," Bernstein said. "I know he's hurt and the main thing I'm praying for is that he gets 100-percent recovery. That's more important than anything right now for me, Sheryl, and our team. I know he was talking to me there and he was asking if he hurt me. That's typical John right there. He'll be okay. He's a strong-willed man, he'll be fine."

Who's been murdered at the Motorplex?

It has been nicknamed that due to the narrow grove and the crashes that occur due to the narrow grove.

First off i wasnt passing blame..Maybe it came out wrong...I wish the best for both teams and KB has been on of my favs. for a while. Can the motorplex not do anything about the narrow groove if it is so dangerous?? I raced there,but it was back in 96'.

 

[farmje]

Ashley is not running. Both Cruz and Tony get bye runs.

 

[MM]

word is (right now anyways and prolly subject to change) Ashley won't run in the semis....she will be by her fathers side at the hospital

it's official...byes for tony and cruz.....good for Ash....i think this was the right decision by a mile

 

[RAPID]

Terrible news for the Force camp. It has been a rough season on that team.

Glad to here he will be ok,

Rapid

 

[Dave]

Holy crap. They just showed it on ESPN NEWS. John is very lucky that was all that happened. Best to John.

 

[Rich]

this ain't supposed to happen to John...he's superman....nobody deserves to have the season that JFR has had...NOBODY.....i'm not a very religious person, but i'm lookin up for some help on this one

My sentiments exactly. Couldn't have said it any better.

ESPN - NHRA legend Force airlifted after Funny Car crash - Racing

Well, it's too bad that the only time NHRA makes the front page of ESPN.com is when something bad happens.

Thoughts & prayers to the JFR family.

Well said, the incident with Kaptian Kaos and Allen was one of the major illustrations of the narrow groove

Holy crap. They just showed it on ESPN NEWS. John is very lucky that was all that happened. Best to John.

My thoughts exactly after seeing the footage He's lucky to have come out of this with his life. His car either blew a tire or just split in half right in fron of the driver. Kenny did cross the cones but it had nothing to do with the crash. Best wishes on a speedy recovery, man has this team been through a lot this year.

 

[Butch]

GOD bless John, Laurie, the girls and the entire JFR "family". They need our thoughts and prayers once again. Those who know John from the "early days" know what a fighter "this old truck driver" really is! He'll bounce back from this, may take some time to heal but he'll be back to kick butt.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

[BaldyLochs]

Boy, his organization sure has been put through the ringer this year. My heart goes out to them. They'll regroup, John will heal, and hopefully we'll see them racing again soon. Get well soon, John!

Torn...

Not sure I want to watch at 7 tonight... but, want to see Ashley run low ET of eliminations...

want to see Larry run Bobby V...
want to see Peggy beat 'Drew
want to see DC go 4 in a row....

Want my eyes to stop watering...

Most of all, I want to See Papa John in Richmond...

My thoughts and prayers are with John and his loved ones. Good for Ashley, family is more important than a race at this time. Get well John.
