Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

John Force (who else) First FunnyCar in the 3's

Jonh Force runs a 3.987 @ 323.50 MPH
MOHNTON, Pa. — John Force powered to the first 3-second run of his unprecedented career to take the Funny Car qualifying lead Friday in the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway.
The 64-year-old Force, a 15-time series champion, drove his Ford Mustang to a run of 3.987 seconds at 323.50 mph, and earned six bonus points to move into a tie for the series lead with Matt Hagan. Force is coming off a victory Sunday in Madison, Ill.
"I'm excited right now," Force said. "(Crew chief) Jimmy Prock is throwing hardball right now. We feel really good about a run like that."
Force's daughter, Courtney, was second at 4.025 and 329.42 — the highest speed in Funny Car history.
