In another sure sign that Pomona is just around the corner, newly crowned NHRA world champion Allen Johnson is testing in Bradenton, Fla., along with a handful of other Pro Stock drivers. On Wednesday, Johnson drove his Mopar Dodge to three consecutive 6.53 runs, all at more than 211 mph, to lead the pack. While Johnson’s performance was totally expected, he had company as fellow Dodge driver V. Gaines matched him step for step with three more 6.53 runs and an early-shutoff 6.54 for good measure. Gaines also topped 211 numerous times behind the wheel of his Kendall entry.
