Adria Hight, daughter of John Force and former JFR CFO, passes away at 56
Adria (Force) Hight, the oldest daughter of John Force, passed away April 28. She was 56.
After graduating from Huntington Beach High School in Southern California, Adria joined the family drag racing business, becoming one of the first employees of John Force Racing. She was at his side for one of the biggest moments of his career, his first NHRA national event win in Montreal in 1987, with Austin and Lisa Coil.
She played an instrumental role in building the organization from the ground up, handling everything from answering phones and selling t-shirts out of the race trailer, to ultimately serving as CFO of one of the winningest teams in motorsports history.
