Pomona, Ca. – The concept of Drag Racing is simple. Run your car in a straight line as fast as you can to the finish. Cody Perkins found out at the 47th annual Automobile Club of ­Southern California NHRA Finals that it is never dull. The 801 Racing sponsored Top Alcohol Dragster provided a few memorable trips down the quarter mile.

“There was something exciting every time down the track,” said Perkins. “We never had a boring run.”

Pomona, Ca – Johnny Ahten had one thing on his mind after the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals. Where can he find another race? After three consecutive weekends racing, Ahten and his CleanBoost Team were physically worn out, but they wanted more.

Pomona, Ca. – Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Team are looking to days gone by for inspiration. The venue is the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona. It is at this track that Perkins ran his career best. A 5.33 elapsed time blast that he would like to improve upon. The motivation is in place and history is on his side.

“Pomona has treated us pretty good,” said Perkins. “In fact, when my father first ran Pomona he unloaded the car from the trailer and ran a 5.41. We also have made some big hits here and we are looking forward to the challenge”

Pomona, Ca – Growing up in southern California, Johnny Ahten would go to the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona and dream of driving an A-Fuel car. Starting Thursday, Ahten and his CleanBoost Dragster are planning on letting the whole neighborhood know about it.

“We want to make some noise,” said Ahten. “Everyone knows when the dragsters are running, In fact, they have walls and even special gates to keep the noise down a bit.”

April Ortiz, 27 years old, grew up in the "Fast Lane" so to speak. By the time she was 5 years old she was learning how to disassemble engines. At the tender age of 16, April was hustling a Blown Alcohol Funny Car down the quarter mile. April is the youngest of three, she has an older brother that races and an older sister that is married to a racer. So she has not had much choice in life but to go Fast.

April joined the CleanBoost family at the NHRA Mile High Nationals where she was a key part of getting the clutch right on the Fuel Funny Car driven by James Day. She is not shy in front of the camera either. As an up and coming model you can expect to see a lot more of April on the CleanBoost website. Automotive modeling is what April enjoys more than anything, well it's second to raising her 8-year old daughter. CleanBoost welcomes April Ortiz to our racing family.
