Sitting behind the wheel of a Funny Car or dragster that reaches speeds of nearly 330 mph tests the nerve and ability of the best drivers in the world.
NHRA Funny Car legend John Force is the master in those tense situations, as evidenced by his record 14 world titles, without a 15th on the horizon.
Success, however, doesn’t make a driver’s heart beat any slower or his mind race any slower. Each time a driver goes to the starting line he or she is taking a risk, a calculated risk, but never the less a risk they might not walk away at the end of the run.
