Watching this, one can clearly understand why Al Hoffman died a few years later: Hoffmann probably spent days washing his crap off of his pant when he also witnessed "Elvis @ a thousand feet" when that "nitro grenade" exploded in front of him like that!!!...

1. not a "national" fc semifinal

2. not a dragster

3. not yet reached 7000hp

4. not a mustang (oldsmobile cutlass)

5. doesn't burn jet fuel

@grumpypant, good luck, forces team is on a mission this year, especially his car

@greenvalleyautobody Cool

[greenvalleyautobody]

@68SSCAM one thing i have to say....... Yes that was a bad crash! and Yes the commentator is a dumb fuck! The first thing i heard him say is that john force was in a mustang???? he didn't drive a mustang till 98'!!!! this was in the Oldsmobile years (early 90s). Nitromethane is Not jet fuel.... jet fuel is almost like kerosene... and at last.... no one is contesting that it was a bad wreak! i think we can see that! I no longer will watch Spike TV, simply because they are dumb fucks!

@ma55aracin9 not since going 1000ft. racing almost 3 years ago. Hagan's 3.995 and Beckman's 318.99 are the current national records.

[68SSCAM]

@ma55aracin9 Well, if you are talking about the old 1/4 mile records (I can't believe I have to say "old"), John Force held neither of them. I am pretty sure Tony Pedregon went 4.64 and Jack Beckman went 334MPH, both were the national records.

[ma55aracin9]

@nhrafanomina28 actually, Force holds the national -should it be WORLD?- ET record [4.665 seconds] as well as the highest/fastest speed ever recorded in the series [333.58 mph], according to the NHRA itself
