look at how young john force looks

[OzzInter]

I remember "Modified Eliminator" and "Top Fuel Motorcycle"

Great Eliminator Brackets, now sadly gone.

"Mod. Elim." had some of the most unusual cars as it was the last connection with the original hot rodding movement.

"T/F. M/C" was T/F on two wheels!

Thanks for sharing!

[txngasnguns]

Of course I was only 6 months old when this race happened.

[diamondpvideo]

The race he won didn't even have television coverage.

[racingformusic]

I knew that, They didn't televise the Sanair race in America for the 1st time until like 1988 I think

[txngasnguns]

WOW, thats John Force? Damn I'm old.

[racingformusic]

That was the champ himself, did you know that this was 8 years before he even won his 1st one? (Le Grandnational Molson, Sanair 1987)
