TX motorplex Div 4

John Force

God bless John Force To all that don't know by now, John Force was injured 9/23/07 in Texas in the second round when he and Kenny Bernstien wrecked together breaking John's car in half and hitting the wall hard. He has two broken legs and a wrist badly sprained and his knee was ground to the bone along with broken fingers. Kenny was unijured, I'm sure he was mentally shaken more than physically injured. John is in the Dallas Methodist Hospital following surgery, may all our prayers be with him

I got one good time trial w/ a .001 light foo… Continue
