John Force is one hellofa drag racer as well as a super papa to his three daughters! This is part reality show of the family as well as excellent video of some great drag racing. From coast to coast John Force dominates the strip and still does in 2016! Watch the DVD set then go see (and hear) the real ground pounding speed!
Movie Reviews
MUST SEE - FOR JOHN FORCE FANS
Susan M. Hay | MANITOWOC WI | 07/20/2007

"THIS DVD IS A MUST TO SEE FOR ALL DRAG RACING FANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LIKE JOHN FORCE. WE HAVE WATCHED IT 3 TIMES NOW WITH DIFFERNT PEOPLE AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME THING " THIS GUY IS AWESOME!" LIKE HIM OR NOT YOU WILL LOVE THIS SERIES!"
Better than Ozzie!

"Though not enough of the actual racing makes the cut, the reality of family life comes through! As a Dad with two daughters (we're not in the racing business!) I can relate to the story line. They are an American icon family. and it's great to see that they have been documented on film. Better than your average flick. I would highly recommend seeing them race in person, and recommend this DVD to those who have seen them in action. A great look into a real family, as harsh as it may seem. Go Force Racing!"
Burn up that quarter mile

"Father John better look out. The girls are catching up fast. It is good to see that the Force will be with the NHRA for a long time."
John has few clues to life

"This is a sadly humorous look at the life and times of the greatest drag racer of all time - John Force. The documentary-style DVD follows John and his disfunctional family through the daily routine.
At the core of the humor is that John wanted sons but got daughters - three of them. They have followed in his drag-racing footsteps, but John has no clue how to communicate with them. He micro-manages a couple of his daughter's dates, tries to instill some sense of family togetherness by dragging the family to the Donner memorial (pioneers died in mountain snow storms), and other good ideas gone wrong.
Though his wife "still loves him", they can't live together. She lives separately with the daughters.
Life does not treat John with love, but he is lovable in his coarse and hoarse way.
I have been to 2 of his Toys for Tots holiday carshows, and there is no doubt he is passionate about whatever he is doing - though the massage by a gay man tested his resolve.

Driving Force Season One
SBSB | England | 01/07/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Pure entertainment!
To those that know the sport they will spot the soundbites used for the cars aren't quite right! And some races start at one track and end at another! Issues that were addressed for season 2 I think.
But on the whole great entertainment that even those not into Drag Racing should enjoy."
