My guess is that Force—if he decides to return—won’t be back in racing until at least April-May 2008. But given his long and distinguished NHRA career, this horrifying accident may be the pretense for him to retire.

According to ESPN coverage via JFR team as of 6 PM... John has

Compound fracture of his left ankle.
Right knee has an abrasion down to bone and possible tendon damage.
Left wrist is dislocated and broken.
Abrasions and broken fingers on his right hand.
CT scan negative.

Force will be back, no reason for him to quit.

Bigger question is the chassis under his cars.

Two big failures now, one fatal, NHRA will be looking at this VERY closely.
