Force has been the face-and mouth-of drag racing for the past decade, and he shows no signs of slowing down, on or off the track. This photo biography by veteran race reporter Erik Arneson covers the rags-to-riches story of Forces rise from a penniless racer to a multi-team effort that includes his high-profile daughter Ashley (the 2004 Driver of the Year and Rookie of the Year). Forces story is of a career built on sheer will and determination by a racer who overcame lousy equipment and little backing with drive, guts, and savvy.
The photos include archive shots of Johns early days; the horrific crash after which Force famously quipped, "I saw Elvis at 1,000 feet"; and incredible race photography through to the modern day.
