Dennis Hemingway Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 NHRA Drag Racer Eric Medlen succumbs to injuries Friday afternoon to injuries suffered when his race car crashed into a guardwall during a Monday test session at Gainesville Raceway. Medlen took over driving responsibilities of the John Force Racing Funny Car in 2004. RIP Eric. Dennis:( http://www.nhra.com/ http://www.johnforceracing.com/ Quote
martybose Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 That sucksRIP Eric Especially true when you consider that (1) the tuner on Eric's car was his father, and (2) he was married to John Force's oldest daughter. Everyone on that team has got to be in shock, on multiple levels. Plus Force must be having real second thoughts about his second daughter driving one of his Funny Cars this year. It's a tragedy on a lot of levels. Marty Quote
Dennis Hemingway Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Posted March 25, 2007 Robert Hight is John Force's son-n-law not Eric. Eric's father was his crew chief and talked him out of going pro rodeo and into going to work for Force Racing. I feel sorry for his family. Dennis Quote
