Throwback to 1975 when John Force debuted his second ever Funny Car, and first professional car, Brute Force! The Brute Force Chevy went from Australia to the states for the match race circuit, but wouldn’t officially debut in the NHRA until the 1978 NHRA Winston World Finals in Ontario, California. @peakauto#ThrowbackThursday#dragracing#bruteforce#chevy#johnforce#racing#motorsport#racinghistory
