That was Brittany's birthday. If you're close to her or the fam, make sure to show her some extra love. It's been tough for her, and like we know, people can neglect their own well being when they are absorbed by health issues of loved ones.
I seen that yesterday and was thinking the same thing.

The claim in the headline that John is in a California rehab facility is not backed up in the article. And his flight to the rehab facility was said to have taken 3 hours. You cannot fly from VA to CA in three hours.Got this on AP gives a few details on John and family.
Also has input from Graham Rahal that I've never read about.
John Force moved to California rehab center. Celebrates daughter's birthday with ice cream
The 75-year-old was first in neurological intensive care and then moved into acute neuro care after a crash at the Virginia Nationals last month.
The info I was trying to covey was Rahal's reaction and point of view of John's crash.
That goes to 10 g iirc. Idk if there is a heftier one. Some fancier helmets record impact severity also, in to the hundreds of g.
All RacePak Data Gathering systems that I know of have Forward and Lateral GForce measuring. The Lateral GForce (Gravitational Force Data {+ & -}) are equally important on all runs even when it is a near perfect run. From the small systems for a Jr Dragster that start at up to 8 channels to Top Fuel / Funny Car which can go up to about 60 available Channels by compounding data. You can measure almost anything you want to except possibly what you had for breakfast. It is also possible to even create measurements. Everything goes through a central "Can" hookup to sensors and you don't have to have "Miles of wiring". The Trick is deciphering what you have in front of you and what to do with that information. Just like in our Jr. Dragsters we used the RacePak information to tune the clutch and be able to stay within the index while having 5/6 MPH advantage over the field without breaking out. It works the same way in the larger Index Cars with other readings. Don't have to guess which way the wind was blowing (By licking your finger and sticking it up in the air) like we did in the Dark Ages. The "Big Cars" to the partial second know exactly how long the Engine ran before staging - burnout - 60 - 330 - 660 & 1000 foot, even how far after that before the driver shut down. As far as G's go that information can tell everything from what to do to what not to do next time usually as well as know what happended when you tried to knock down the Fence.
Sometimes a man is constantly trying to prove it to himself. That drives a lot of top tier athletes.
And hopefully he would be able to deal with coming to the track and not driving. Something tells me he probably won't have a choice about driving.
Something else that I came across. Next helmet I get will have it if it's up to me.
