Ahten Ready to Put on a Good Show at Phoenix Regionals

Phoenix, AZ - Johnny Ahten is going into show business. This weekend at the opening of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series at Firebird Raceway, Ahten has added a top hat and cane to his Top Alcohol Dragster act. Not to worry, he will still wear his firesuit and helmet when he is racing. Ahten and his Island Renovations/801 Racing Dragster are ready to put on a show for the fans, and the fellow racers. Welcome my friends to the Nitro show that never ends.

“The Regionals are like a mini national event now,” said Ahten. “Instead of just a few cars here, there are Division 7 leaders as well as a few Division 6 runners.”

Ahten brings the knowledge and data accumulated a few weeks ago at the Pomona event. Crewchief Al Ahten has the Nitrometane injected tune-up calculated and dialed in. It’s up to Johnny Ahten to step into the spotlight and demonstrate what the car is capable of. Every now and again, Ahten’s car is prone to attempting a high wire act when it launches the front wheels skyward.

“It’s a wild ride to balance the wheelie,” added Ahten. “On the rear wing it says “Stump Puller,” and it has truly earned the nickname.”

Riding along with the front wheels in the air are associate sponsors Island Renovations and 801 Racing 70Wt Oil with Cleanboost Technology. Also hanging on for dear life are NGK sparkplugs, FireIce, Stith Printing, and Hedman Hedders.

Johnny Ahten is looking forward to donning his top hat and cane (firesuit and helmet), entering the spotlight, and running the show of shows. Most of all, Ahten wants to show his wheelie bars to a few fellow racers while traveling down the track.

We believe true happiness comes from blazing down the blacktop with the pedal to the metal and our hair on fire. The whiter our knuckles get, the better. If it were up to us, cars wouldn't even have brakes, just two gas pedals. It's this never-ending need for speed that drives everything we do. We spend countless hours in the lab and lying awake at night plotting and planning how to get more speed by any means possible. After decades of research and innovation, we've developed a complete line of performance and car care products designed to ensure that your ride lives up to its potential on the street and on the track. We know what you want. We got what you need. We are 801 Racing. For more information on 801 racing, please visit: www.801Racing.com
