    If you have never seen it, be warned it is violent.
    The scariest part was when the car stopped, he wasn't there. He is actually up track in the back half of the car.



    John was told he would not regain movement of his hands, and may not be able to walk normally.
    Being John Force, He not only recovered, but came back to win 2 more Championships (so far) and hold both ends of the FC 1000' world records.
    Interestingly enough JF and I were both recuperating from our accidents at the same time.....I was invited to the Force Racing Suite during the Winternationals in Pomona and we had a chance to meet.......I was still recovering as well.....personally I didn't walk for a year and JF was way worse than me at the time of this picture.......but you would have never known it as he was cracking wise the whole time he was in the booth......the ultimate huckster

    I gotta say, I chuckle every time I hear Paige say "They did give John a CAT scan...and it came back negative"...
