Ashley Force beats father John

COMMERCE, Ga. – Ashley Force won the first father-daughter race in NHRA history Sunday, edging 14-time series champion John Force in the first round of Funny Car eliminations in the NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway
Ashley finished in 4.779 seconds to easily edge John (5.783 seconds).


The 24-year-old rookie advanced to the semifinals, equaling the best Funny Car effort for a female driver in NHRA history, before losing to eventual runner-up Mike Ashley.

Today, I’m a proud father,” John said. “I’ve dreamed of this day for a long time and it makes me emotional to think it finally came true. She’s a great young driver and she’s probably gonna whip me a bunch, but I’m OK with it because she’s my baby.”

That's Racin' | 04/29/2007 | Ashley Force beats father John, makes a little NHRA history

Stay in NHRA. There is a world of difference between the two series.

There ya go with the biggest word in the world ... "IF".

Women that are already in this type of series cannot/have not made it. I just can't see someone with zero experience jumping in. This is sort of what I have said in the past about Toyota and lo and behold ... Yota is barely hanging in there. Nope ... she isn't gonna do it. If Danica isn't doing it then a straight line driver can't do it.
