I didn't watch the races today from Atlanta. On another forum someone commented that Jason Line in a post race interview said that Allen Johnson was cheating. Some comment about running a rubber crank. What was that all about??? Sour Grapes???? Dave

I didn't hear the comment,Dave but I saw that round..AJ put an .011 light on Line and it looked like AJ shut it down? AJ and Roy are making some steam this year so you know the Summit guys will be complaining...


The end is near.....

Well IMO, if Line was serious or not it's not a comment to be taken lightly. With the economy the way it is, and as hard as it is to attract sponsors to fund a team, it's something no one wants to hear spoken about themselves. If I were Roy and Allen I'd be having a talk with those boys behind the trailer.Dave

I would say those are some serious accusations that AJ or Roy will possibly not take too lightly.

They don't call Allen "Rooster" for nothing. Don't worry about AJ. Or Roy for that matter, AJ came by it honest. Cheating? I don't think so. Can't get anything past those NHRA inspectors.

I agree



It takes a cheater mentality to out and out accuse someone without proof. Pretty self centered , as well. (IF I CAN'T DO IT, HOW CAN THEY??) I say to anyone making accusations, prove it, or shut your trap! A real sportsman would publicly say, "those guys are flying, we are going to have to up our game"

It looked to me(at the race)like AJ blew the tires off it leaving the starting line,like he has done in the past a time or two when he missed the set-up. I taped the race and will watch it tonight and may can tell more,but I am almost positive he blew the tires off because it looked like the car got side-ways and out of the groove.

Quite simple...dont support the whiners sponsor... ...probably 80% of the people on this board brag about buying from them right? You got two guys running GM cars at Summit, and Jeggie running a Mopar, and gets hardly any support here. I have no dog in this fight, I dont buy from either of them anyhow, but if I was to support a mail order house, it would make sense to support the one running Mopars right?


BTW...I asked Allen Johnson to stop in Moparts and give us a quick update...as always...he will oblige shortly. He never fails to respond. Class act they are.

I agree, I haven't bought anything from Summit in quite a long time but I have bought quite a bit from Jegs.

I think of ultra lightweight cranks flexing, do you think that is what he reffering to?

I was thinking the same thing but to what advantage? it will flex both ways. Maybe I am thinking of it linerally and not in a 3D way.
