John Force...

Drag legend lucky to be alive after horrific crash during qualifying race against fellow legend and friend Kenny Bernstein.

Compound fracture to ankle, broken wrist and broken fingers. When it happened, I thought I just saw John Force get killed.

I love Ashley and would take great care of her if something happen to John.

Great looking daughters. Wife isn't bad, either.

Amazing how much those safety programs really pay off. Guy in the AP article says he feels safer in a drag racer going 300 than he does in his rental car going 55.

Wow. Anytime you're going that fast, your nuts are on the line.

Hope he comes out okay

They sure did. And they also didnt have any safety straps on the blowers, so if you dropped a cylinder at 9500 rpm, the top end of the motor would fly off into orbit.
