For John Force, 16-time NHRA Funny Car champion, sitting out the 2020 season after the pandemic struck was nearly unbearable. However, his "unbearable" wasn't nearly as bad as his wife Laurie Force's.
"Laurie said, 'I can't take another round of this pandemic with you. It's painful."
And the truth is, Laurie wasn't the only victim of a somewhat idle Force.
"Well, let me tell you, the person that's most happy is Robert Hight," Force added. "Because he had to sit here with me every day, five, six days a week sometimes, on weekends, and go over this [crap] over and over, because that's how I remember. I go over everything. Repetition, repetition. He will be happy."
