Eric Medlen, you will be missed

[04Torchvert]

Just wanted to give my best wishes for the Medlen and Force family as the death of Eric Medlen was a shock.

As many may know Eric Medlen is the NHRA driver for the Castrol Syntec Ford Mustang in the Funny Car class. He was an amazing driver and really nice and genuine guy. He will be missed.

Just did a search and looks like he suffered a severe brain injury in a crash during testing a few days ago, they tried to relieve the swelling but his brain never responded so they took him off life support......very sad Link below:

damn that really sucks but I couldnt think of a better way to go, hopefully the only thing he felt was all those G's.

I have been watching the NHRA site for the last couple of days and was praying he would pull through. God bless
