Oh, how interesting this will be! With Daddy Johnson assisting in the wrenching dept this Bird should fly quite nicely!!!

Getting in on the ground floor of the hopefully soon to be replacement for Prostock.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

The very BEST drag racing news since the Johnson family retired. Made my year to see Allen at the wheel where he belongs and his dad doing the wrenching. Just fantastic.

Glad to see see AJ in something fast but, not going to celebrate too much until Turk is healed up , sounds like he is still awful banged up

We saw Jeff at the NMCA race in St Louis. He was there in the lanes for every round of factory super cars. Seemed to be doing just fine. But clearly he lost control of a car and crashed pretty good. No doubt that was a bit of a wake up call for him. A wreck that likely should not have happened and someone with more experience in that type of car would have likely been fine. I have seen a couple cars destroyed by folks who were unfamiliar with how carbon brakes work, they are not very forgiving if you are inexperienced or not aware of the issues.
