I've been a drag racing fan since I was a kid and went to my first Gatornationals in 1979. I'm a NASCAR fan now but nothing beats the show the drag racers put on. I still go to the Gators when I can and I was able to attend this year.
John Force is a hero and is my favorite sports personality. If you could watch a highlite reel of his drag racing career your jaw would drop in awe. He is truly one of a kind.
He has built quite an empire from such humble beginnings and it's all well deserved. The Force team was by far the most popular team there and Eric Medlin was part of that. I got to watch Eric do his last competition burnout and take his last run down the track. Eric and his fellow drivers have provided excitement and thrills for the fans while doing something they love. It doesn't get any better than that.
I'm sure Eric wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Here are a few pics of Eric Medlin on his last pass.
RIP
