    Unbelievable. He was a tough guy... I had myself convinced that he would pull through.

    Hard to fathom. Just saw him last week at Gainesville and now
    he's gone. Godspeed Eric. My thoughts and prayers to all his family
    and friends.
     
  7. Sad, sad news, indeed.:( My thoughts and prayers to the Medlen family and to the extended Force "family", as well. Drag racing has lost one of its brightest stars.
