Too bad Mopar kicked Allen and Roy to the curb after 20 years.Hopefully they will return with some good sponsorship.

Don't worry about it Myron..............and here is a thought for the ones who don't like it. DON'T come on an auto related website on race day, if you don't want to know who won

I guess he showed Mopar he can cut a light just as good as the youngsters.

"We had struggled during the entire Countdown, never winning more than two rounds a race and losing twice in the first round," Johnson said. "We also struggled during qualifying and in eliminations. But right before the final, we discovered that a torsion bar was bent. We fixed that, and the car went straight down the track."

Johnson says he is happy to win the last Pro Stock race featuring carbureted engines. He added that his plans are currently 50-50 regarding whether he will compete in 2016 when NHRA introduces the new-look Pro Stock class with electronic fuel injection, among other significant class changes.

Let’s clean up a little more Pro Stock trash, shall we? First, we were extremely disappointed to learn that Allen Johnson is not hanging up his helmet (wait for it). As a team intimate put it to us Saturday morning, “(Mopar) kicked ‘em to the curb after 20 years.” And rather than a Johnson-decided paint scheme thanking Mopar for their 20-year relationship, it was apparently dictated by Mopar. Not a very good way of ending a very positive relationship, particularly after we heard some other comments regarding an important business relationship that the Mopar people weren’t even aware that Johnson had with an outside company they appeared interested in partnering with. Johnson’s plans are what we’d term “fluid” at this point. If he can find enough backing and an engine rental customer or two, he’ll keep racing. Otherwise, who knows.

Nice ending, Allen and Roy! up You should be very proud of what you did for the Mopar faithful over the last 20 years! bow


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Honestly, I only have kept track of Pro Stock because of Allen and his dad. Mopar should have kept funding him but who knows what they were thinking.
