THERE’S NO BUMP DRAFTING IN NHRA – John Force and Bob Bode left the starting line as drag racers and finished up looking like a couple of NASCAR racers bump drafting.
During the last 200 feet of the run, Force drifted over in front of Bode, barely missing him as they drove through the shutdown area. Force, unaware of Bode’s location, deployed his parachutes.
“The rules say that we have to wear an extra sock,” Force explained. “I’ve never worn one before and as I was staging, I was having trouble breathing. I reached up and pulled it down and pulled it over my eyes. Then I couldn’t see the Christmas tree. I tried to shove it back up and said h*** I’m going for it. Then I got down to the end and it put me in the dark. I could just see cones out of my one eye. Then I saw that kid next to me and I thought we were going to lunch early.”
