Video Description from YouTube:
John Force’s scariest crashes — Ashley Force’s flip, Brittany Force’s wall hit, and the Dallas Big One with Kenny Bernstein that changed NHRA forever.
Hi, I am Marc, and this is Gearhead Man. Welcome back, I am Marc and this is Gearhead Man. Today we break down three of the most violent Funny Car and Top Fuel wrecks in John Force Racing history — what broke, how the drivers walked away, and why the 2007 Dallas collision still matters for drag racing safety.
In this 15-minute breakdown you will see Ashley Force’s Castrol GTX Funny Car get sideways and flip, Brittany Force’s Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster cross the centerline, and John Force vs Kenny Bernstein at the O’Reilly Fall Nationals in Dallas — the chassis failure that tore both cars apart on live TV.
