Thousands of race fans paraded through the John Force Racing
East shop today during the 2nd annual Brownsburg Motorsports Network
Open House. For over four hours people steadily walked through the doors and
got to see first hand the tools of the trade that have garnered John Force
fourteen POWERade Funny Car World Championships and his team 176 NHRA national
event wins.
The tour led fans through the machine shop where they were able to see the
numerous MAG Fadal machines that craft so many of Team Force’s components. They
also saw the paint shop where eye-catching designs are applied to the four JFR
Ford Mustangs. Three of Force’s 8,000 hp Ford Mustangs were on display arranged
in a true race day configuration complete with open transports. Finally, the
tour culminated for many fans with an emotional exit through The Eric Medlen
Tribute Room.
The Eric Medlen Tribute Room is a room inside the shop that is dedicated to the
six-time tour winner, remembering his life in photos, displays and
testimonials. Special sections for the room are devoted to Eric as a
calf-roping cowboy, to him and his dad and to him and the drivers with whom he
had a special bond: J.R. Todd, Morgan Lucas, Brandon Bernstein and Ashley
Force.
Members of John Force Racing staff were on-hand to show-off the world class
racing facility and answer questions throughout the day. In addition to being
impressed by the sheer number of race fans that toured the shop they were
pleased with the responses the fans gave them as they wandered through the
various areas.
