“Diesel” Louis Force is the older brother of John Force, and some say he’s the crazier of the pair. Louie has been there next to John for all of this trials and tribulations through the years and drag racing is as ingrained in his DNA as it is in his little brother’s. Louie drove a wheelstander for several years, and in typical Force fashion, it was a show unto itself.

The truck is a shrunken 1953 Kenworth tractor that has an alky-burning, blown Hemi mounted behind the cab. It runs strong as evidenced by this video and Louie was no slouch behind the wheel, because as you’ll see, he was earning his money on the lap shown. The truck gets squirrley, and like his brother, Louie never even hinted at lifting.

Our favorite part of the run is the launch, where the truck violently throws all four tires off the pavement. Hell, without the wheelie bars that sucker would have gone turtle!
