    Great video.
    Two years ago I took my son to the Sonoma NHRA races. For two reasons my son keeps talking about that day , first, it was one of the only times that my son and I got to do something with just him, second, was because he's got to meet you John. You were kind enough to come out and give us an autograph, but even better I asked if Ethan could get a picture next to you. You then gave him a hug like he was aone of your family members. The both of us will never forget that gesture or that day. John you are an amazing person and an awesome dad. Happy father's day! Thank you!

    Back in the in the 80s I took my nephew and his friend to Brainerd International Raceway to watch the drag racing. We stayed the whole week, it was a blast. After the races were done one evening we were walking back to our camper. Mr. Force was walking in the same direction quite a ways away from where we were walking. One of the kids recognized him. I don't know how but they did. John noticed that the kids recognized him and they were calling his name. He quickly changed direction and came directly to us where we were standing which was quite a long distance. John signed their shirts or whatever they had and talked to the kids and me for a while. I never forgot that, I thought that was so great that John took time out of his busy day to go and talk to some of his fans. That was the highlight of the whole week for those kids. When they got back home my nephew's mother called me and thanked me for taking Mike and his friend to the races. She said that's all he could talk about was meeting John Force and going to the drags. Sad to say, Mike passed away on April 28th 2024 from stomach cancer. He left behind his wife and a little girl 2 years old. When she gets Mike's age around 12 or 13 years old I will offer to take her and a friend to the drag races like I did with her dad. Thanks, John, you made a couple of kids very happy not to mention myself included.

Not that anyone wouldn't recognize her already, unless they have been living under a rock.lol I think it is more about him being extremely proud of ALL his daughters, more so than promoting.

    The last time I watched John race was Friday night at the Texas Motorplex back in October 2019 where I witnessed a 70 year old man drive an 11,000 horsepower race car, looking through a windshield not much bigger than a mail slot, across the finish-line stripe at 338 miles per hour - virtually in the dark. And I thought to myself, when it comes to drag racing this guy knows no equal - and never will. Go get 'em, John, I bet you've got one more #1 in you.
