Some drag queen was forced to retire, apparently.

I didn’t think he’d be able come back after that engine failure last year. It was an impressive and scary explosion.

It was a TBI. He knew he would never be cleared, this was just the formal statement.

March 5-7, 2026 will be crazy because the family will have three races across the country.

* March 6: MotoAmerica Daytona 200 AMA Superport (Rahal Ducati)
* March 6: Phoenix NASCAR/INDYCAR Doubleheader 250 NTT INDYCAR Series (RLL)
* March 7: Gainesville Gatornationals (John FOrce Racing)

Could we see John Force at motorcycle racing events in the Mission Foods tent sitting with the Rahal Ducati booth?

When I see “Toyota” as the alleged(key word) power plant brand on the fuselage of a rail dragster I know the better years are behind the NHRA, unfortunately.

Detroit doesn’t have the money so Japan takes over.

He had an amazing career. Hard to believe he was still racing at that age, and still competitive. Impressive.

Those guys (and gals) are something else. It takes a brave soul to ride 11K HP.

Oops! Apology rendered. Like “gay”, “drag” has been co-opted by the weird word f the world.

I meant racing
340 mph at that age is impressive
