That’s the same report they’ve passed around. Brittany said he was talking and alert in the ambulance but I’ve heard nothing newer than that.

The latest report on John Force posted on www.competitionplus.com this morning reads:

The statement from the team said, '"Attending doctors purposely were moving slowly in assessing the extent of the injuries to the Hall of Fame owner and driver because of the intensity of the impact. Medical staff will not provide a treatment and recovery timetable until a total evaluation is completed.
"Force’s daughter Brittany, a two-time champion, was joined at the hospital by her mother, Laurie, and sisters Adria, Ashley, and Courtney. The family will maintain a presence while the team competes this weekend in Norwalk, Ohio.
"Updates on the 157-time tour winner’s condition will be released at the discretion of the medical staff."

The team has not announced whether a substitute driver for the 16-time series champion will carry on in a back-up Funny Car.
Brittany Force in her Top Fuel dragster and Virginia Funny Car winner Austin Prock will race this weekend at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals at Norwalk.

Post on nhra.com this morning says Brittany will not compete next weekend in Norwalk as she will remain at the hospital in solidarity with her family for John. Austin Prock will compete in Funny Car.
Brittany currently is in the #10 spot in Top Fuel, 60 points ahead of Josh Hart, with five race events to go before the Countdown. Sitting out at Norwalk will only give her four events before the Countdown to solidify a playoff spot.

John Force has been transferred from the trauma ICU to the neuro ICU where the medical team can focus on his head injury which is their primary concern.

John Force improving, faces long road ahead; Brittany to sit out Norwalk race

I carried over my Thunder Valley picks to Virginia but they let me down big time.
So I'm carrying them over again to Norwalk hoping they won't let me down two weeks in a row.

...and Josh Hart doesn't take advantage of Brittany's absence by not qualifying for the Top Fuel field.
 
Congratulations to '64BEL' (FBBO), 'cuda20' (FABO), and 'TT5.9mag' (FABO) for sharing the 2024 Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals Top Qualifier title with an outstanding total of 30.5 bonus points each. '64BEL' (FBBO) picked the #1 qualifiers in both Funny Car and Pro Stock, the #2 qualifier in Top Fuel, and the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle. 'cuda20' (FABO) and 'TT5.9mag' (FABO) both picked the #1 qualifier in both Top fuel and Funny Car, the #2 qualifier in Pro Stock, and the #3 qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
'johnnycuda' (FABO) was the runner-up qualifier with 30.0 bonus points.
Way to go!
More great picks!

16 players again this week and 14 different driver combos made up of:
* 4 different Top Fuel drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. There is a possibility of two head-to-head matchups in the second round of eliminations if all four drivers survive Round 1.
* 4 different Funny Car drivers with no Round 1 head-to-head matchups. The first possibility of a head-to-head matchup is the semii-final round if the drivers survive until then.
* 3 different Pro Stock drivers with the earliest possible head-to-head matchup in the semi-final round of eliminations
* 2 different Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers with the only possible head-to-head matchup in the final round of eliminations if both drivers get that far
Good luck all!
