Umm dont know about that? Does any one know how much experience she has as a racer on a professional level? IMO these cars are WILD animals and should be driven by "seasoned" drivers ONLY! These cars are no joke and very dangerous especially when "pushing the envelope" on every run. To rush the one of the youngest females into the sport just for your little niche is asking for trouble, IMO I think thats says it all for the man. I have all faith in the girl but I think she was pushed into the driver seat way to early. I think if I was in the same position I would not put my kid in the drivers seat until they had many more years experience. A lot of things happen real fast and only experience can get you out of the bad situations. Lack of experience will only make a bad situation worse. At this time when I think of her going down the track I just want to close my eyes at hope for the best as the car goes 320-330 mph down the track.

ashley qualified #3 320mph 4.82 sec (faster than her own father john force 4.852sec) in the semi elimination round @ Vegas, that should tell ya she's more than ready, IMO she is expierienced enough to be very competitive possibly in the next year or 2 will become funny car champ herself. i dont think even the season pros show as much control as she has, besides shes got the greatest coach anyone could ever have! a 14 time funny car champ as her DAD. if anyone knows ashley better its her own father. in the end we all worry and hope ashley (and all the NHRA drivers) stays safe..........
