Pomona, Ca - Johnny Ahten doesn’t need a slide ruler or protractor to know how to tune his Nitromethane Injected Top Alcohol Dragster. He does rely on the people that support him and the Ahten Racing Team. This past weekend, at the O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals, Ahten did get closer to the tune up he is looking for.
“We are inching away at the tune-up,” said Ahten. “We just didn’t compensate enough on Saturday to make past that round.”
Pomona, Ca – Cody Perkins and the 801 Racing Top Alcohol Dragster Team did quite a bit of fighting at the Winternationals. Not fisticuffs mind you, but there were battles a plenty.
Demke and Team Peen Taste Sweet Victory at the Winternationals
Pomona, Ca – Chris Demke and the Peen Rite Top Alcohol Dragster Team went to the 2012 NHRA race season opener with a hunger. Their Winternationals victory turned out to be a feast. The sugared treat at the end was Demke’s final round 5.281 @ 270.32. It was low ET of the event, and that has Demke and the Maddern Racing Team planning for the future.
“The win was so sweet, and the 5.28 was icing on the cake,” said Demke. “There is no better way to start a season than with a win, and we have high hopes.”
Pomona, Ca – Cody Perkins comes to the Winternationals prepared to make the grade. Last year’s season ending event did not exactly go as planned. The images of a wild ride filled with smoke and a banged up race car were replayed all winter long. Now that the 2012 NHRA season is here, Perkins is looking to create new memories from the Auto Club Raceway.
“The last time we were here at Pomona there was something exciting every time down the track,” said Perkins. “We never had a boring run.”
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.
Las Vegas, NV. – Going broke in Vegas usually means only one thing. The tables got the best of you, or the one armed bandit kept everything it was given. At the Division 7 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Cody Perkins may not have lost money at the casinos, but the 801 Racing sponsored Top Alcohol Dragster did break a few parts.
“I think we broke one of everything,” said Perkins. “We broke all kinds of parts like heads, belts and even our windshield.”
Las Vegas, NV – NHRA Top Alcohol Drag Racing is not always easy to deal with. This last weekend at the Division 7 race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Johnny Ahten and his CleanBoost sponsored team realized this very fact. The planned testing on Thursday went well, and hopes for a long weekend were in place. Friday’s rainout was a unwelcome surprise. This meant that the team had two runs on Saturday to qualify.
Las Vegas, NV - Johnny Ahten and his CleanBoost Racing Team are looking forward to this weekend’s Division 7 race because they have a need for speed. Video Games, movies and even rock songs all celebrate the passion for moving across the pavement. More than just getting down the track, the goal is to do it in a timely manner.
“We want to haul ass, now more than ever,” said Ahten. “We want to get back to what we know how to do.”
