Force taught three of his daughters to do it. Ashley retired a few years ago to make babies.
Anyone can drag race. Not everyone can do it well. Ask Troy Coughlin Jr.
I jokingly call it "motorized bowling".
IIRC Force is 67 years old and never was in what most would consider good shape, so it isn't as physically demanding as most sports. But those G forces have got to be something else.
The NHRA is shooting themselves in the foot by over-promoting female drivers, sending the impression to the world that it ain't no big deal.
They are spending way too much time and effort reaching out to new fan-base that doesn't care about drag racing and never will.
All the while alienating their true fans that gave them the success they have.
The NHRA is dying and they know it, it'll be gone in 5 years unless they get their act together.
