John Force battles daughter Brittany Force for the first time! - Top Fuel Race -

We spent the day at the Pro Winter warm up at Palm Beach International Raceway and got a chance to witness history with John Force going heads up with his daughter Brittany Force for the first time!

Here is a quote from the legend himself about the race.

"I have raced all my daughters I never knew if I would get a chance to race Brittany. The pairings worked out so we could match up and they asked if we would consider running together. I wouldn't race anybody else. I want to race my own teams at a deal like this. You want to put on a show for the fans. It was great," said John Force. "She said she couldn't see me when we pulled up to stage because she sits back in that dragster with the canopy. We both flickered the bottom light trying to get shallow. I knew if she went (down the track under power) she would beat me. Even with that 4.01 or if I ran 3.98 if she ran a 3.80 she would have me. I tried to get after her on the light but she actually left on me. It was fun for the crowd. We had great racing all weekend."

Brittany is amazing.... but I see the old man's still got it! John taught her everything she not everything he knows. ;)

Followed NHRA for a long time. One of the most treasured moments in my life was being invited the to the starting line at The Indianapolis Raceway in 2004. His team was doing some testing the day after the Big Go. I stood 50 feet behind his Funny Car (Tony Pedregon?) when iy made a full 330MPH pass. I was covered in clutch dust... and wore it prodly on the flight home later that day!

IMHO the launch of a top fuel dragster is probably the most intense thing to ever experience in real life. If you haven't ever experienced it, I highly recommend you do

[morphman]

They really need to bring the dragster vs funny car racing back just like the old days.

[TheKnightRider]

Brittany is a Force to be reckoned with!

[TheGent]

I had no idea they had ever done this! What fun!

A Family that Really Sticks Them Together

Watching all these videos takes me back when the force family had their T.V show.sure do miss it 😔.

I did my first drags this weekend in Sonoma, Ca. All three days! My adrenaline rush is still with me. The first thing you will notice if you ever get close to one of these things is how much the nitro exhaust burns your nose, throat, lungs etc. The second will be the raw thumping unreal power when the top fuel guys take off. (nothing I say can prepare you for what you will feel) Tip; If you bring your kid to one of these things, use quality full over the ear muffs. (earplugs do not cut it)

That's my Home track. I've been going there since it was Moroso speedway way back 30 + years ago. I would have loved to see you guys there.

[trJones]

i still can fathom how fast those damn things are

[hellbilly]

I grew up in Bristol. Thunder Valley, before they widened it was nuts. Vision blurred an felt like your heart might stop at every launch

[mikeycoyne]

Ive been in fast cars and when I feel the turbo and the pull It feels like your going really quick and then you watch something like this and start thinking of the g force and it just fries my brain, Makes you realise that humans make some mad fucking stuff 😂

[Dontpanic]

obviously something went wrong with brit.. just look at the flames. She let off the throttle.. prob lifted. Some people look at these videos and make stupid comments without actually thinking about what they saw.

[jamescampbell]

Would love to see a slow mo gopro launch of that

It's August 21, 2022 and Brittany gave it her best but didn't get the win. I was rooting for her though. She's still a force to be reckoned with!!!

[stevegoodwin]

How do those guys stand so close to those dragsters?  It's deafening just being in the stands.

[jamesschoonover]

WOW! Ten years ago!! That was epic! Huge fan of Forces! Bet today he may lose to Brittany - she's got his racing genes!! Thanks for sharing!
