In just 4 short years from now he'll be 80. Even after all he's been through I'd say he's doing pretty good.

THANK YOU!

Fun reading all the observations. For all of you fellow Nhra.Tv watchers, do you remember the grin on John's face when Brittany reset the all time top speed record twice?

<snip>... it could just be he doesn’t have the same adrenaline he did after hopping out of one of those beasts.

Nailed it! No matter what happens on track, watching it happen will never equal the adrenaline rush of doing it.

I saw a little smile and heard him say "looked pretty scary to me..." Which is probably what he said right after we watched him make a pass at the 'Plex one evening about 9pm when he complained about poor vision because his car was full of clutch dust. Imagine being in your 70s, looking through a little slit of a windshield and a cloud of black crap, trying to keep an 11,000hp car in one lane - in the dark - at 338mph? Elon Musk's "Big Balls" DOGE guy has nothing on John Force.

Looked pretty scary to me, indeed.

Good thing John wasn't able to stand at the starting line and watch himself go down the track for 50+ years.
