It really is though. There are very few human beings on this planet that get to experience that kind of raw power and acceleration. From the stands it's mind blowing enough. For real these things warp your sense of reality a bit. There's so much power you can feel it in the ground and in your bones even.
Thanks John for the ride ALONG! Back in the 90s sometime I was watching you in the pits in Chicago. Just hang out.. I had your Force hat on. You walked by grab the and sign it and handed it back. THANKS JOHN
Save up a few bucks and go to the Frank Hawley School. You can learn to drive an alcohol Funny Car, or dragster. Not quite the same, but a hell of a ride! OR, get yourself $10,000 and call Larry Dixon. He'll take you for a pass in his two-seat Top Fuel car. A friend of mine did it a couple of years ago, and is still talking about it! And he's a championship winning drag racer in his own right! Clay Millican was there hanging out with the crew!
@ge2623 I'm sure the slaves in Africa used to harvest the highly toxic and deadly materials that are used to make the batteries and permanent magnet motors, are really excited about the Green New Deal.
Since the dawn of the age of the motor vehicle, mankind has continually pursued the evolution of make our land, air and sea vehicles go faster. This, was one of those vehicles. Awesome!
LOL Indeed, some wish for the days of 1320 but there's valid reasons why it's now limited to 1000 feet. Besides, I'd say something did happen anyway.....335.07 mph in under 4 seconds.....
@@cll1639 Yep, once they started the little wimpy burn outs I've never been back because that was one of the coolest parts of the show and the pit warm up when they would whack the throttle to seat the clutch. I realize they quit doing all of this to remain more competitive. I never really cared who won the event because I was a fan of all of them tho mainly J.F.
@@bad2mx Lord, do I ever miss the pitside throttle whacks .....Scott Palmer is the only touring nitro driver that still does them to the delight of the fans, and occasionally Force will do a little one. But no long burnouts and thanks to the tire compounds Goodyear now uses, not much smoke, either. :( Here's Palmer with the cleanest warmup and throttle whack video on the internet: ruclips.net/video/_V_9E7pCdf0/видео.html
I remember when they started breaking 300mph here at Gatornationals, I remember the guy on TV20 (local news here in Gainesville) was making a big deal out of it back in the 90s. It's nuts they're up to these speeds now (335+).
Ashley's sons have been on her too. I know she used to make annual runs to keep her license up to date in case something happened to John, but with Robert, who was made President of JFR some time ago, as well as Brittney and of course Austin Prock, I think the future of JFR is in good hands. Robert's daughter Autumn has been moving up, from juniors to Super Comp, so... Evidently John said something at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in Gainesville about Courtney unretiring, but she just gave birth to her and Graham's second kid. It would be cool to see both Ashley and Courtney back though!
So Easy a Caveman Can Do It. Just kidding. I don't kno how you have time to react with the steering input. Things flash by so fast. You don't have time to think then react. You just have to react. And hope you were right. SUA SPONTE' means reacting without thinking about.
BALLS OF STEEL !! I’d Rather Drive Top Fuel Dragster. Having that BOMB Behind me. 😬 The Idea of a Blower Explosion 💥 Being Engulfed in Burning Fuel & OiL 🚨💀😢
Has to be one of the craziest experiences on earth to have to drive this monster with all that power
Ha, not only imagine that. Imagine that doing it at 73 years old.

Great Ride along Thanks!! 😁

@@garyjackson3531 Even an alcohol ride would be awesome!
@Mark-hb5zf Yes sir! I hope you get the chance.
@@garyjackson3531 $10,000??? that's alot more than i thought.
Go get em Champ! GO TEAM FORCE!
That was AWESOME!!😬😬😬
That is a life altering experience. The GOAT doing what he does best!
Love John Force! Been following him for decades!❤
Australia loves this bloke
Insane! He matted the throttle before the light turns green! Such good timing, what a legend
If you wait to see green, you are incredibly late!
John you have been a hero of mine many decades. Keep showing these young ones your the king of the funnies
Good job Bad ass love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA
This is some excellent footage. Thanks for giving us a pov of what it's like making a run down the track John
Yep
Not at ALL like being shot out of a cannon
Appreciate the ride Big John!!!
What kind of camera? That was excellent footage coming from that violent of a launch. Had to have unbelievable stabilization!
Nice!!!
The greatest thrill in motorsports still belongs to TF and ICE. EVs will never be as exciting
Long live the 👑
EV's are exciting when they burst into flames at the local Starbucks.
@@ge2623 lmbo!!!

Ha John beat Cruz man what a driver and what a experience to see a pov from one of the greatest funny car driver on this planet
very cool
I've always wanted to see pov like this. How exhilarating!
wow never knew that john ran with throttle stops for the burnout. learn something new every day! also such great in car footage.
Ha
I thought they all did at this point.
I think only clay in a fuel car was running without one,but even he has switched over to using one this season
Thank you for posting this.
How come we didn't see snap-on till it was all over? 😂
Got to see him up close. Nitromethane in my eyes. Crying, coughing. Fuckin amazing
WOW, THATS A DRIVE AND A HALF! John P.
Since the dawn of the age of the motor vehicle, mankind has continually pursued the evolution of make our land, air and sea vehicles go faster.
This, was one of those vehicles.
Awesome!
It was epic seeing himself & Brittany race in person. Have an epic day on the track today!
Love it!
That is more crazy than I would like to tackle. Glad he's doing it though.
Really wish it would go 1/4miles. The last 300ft is where it all happens.
LOL Indeed, some wish for the days of 1320 but there's valid reasons why it's now limited to 1000 feet. Besides, I'd say something did happen anyway.....335.07 mph in under 4 seconds.....
Why did John used to do 1/2 track burn outs back in the day? Was it for show? Tire heat? Or both? Fans want to know. 😊
Sell t shirts.
@@bad2mx Exactly!
Show, for sure, but the fuel and clutch management used nowadays require much shorter ones.

not even a 1/4 mile 😪
GOAT💪🏽
The ol Boy is going to miss this, but I thank God Almighty that he is still with us after that crash.
Miss Ashley racing. I wish she would come back

I would have liked a ride on the scooter too. 😂
See ya at Epping
I WISH I could drive one !!!!! I'll even do it for FREE !!!!!!!!!!
❤💙#1
Still driving funny cars that awesome. How many drivers are still doing it when he started racing?
say this - one hundred miles, two hundred miles, 3 hundred miles
and that is how long it takes for him to go 100mph, 200mph 300mph and finish
How it feels when I takeoff at the light to get in front of the car next to me
i meet him 3 times
Drag race is 1/4 mile
BEST video…bring on a 2 seater
Would you settle for a 2-seat Top Fuel Dragster? ruclips.net/video/y5JRpmOAZCY/видео.html
