Pomona, CA –  With rain significantly changing qualifying attempts and eliminations in Phoenix and Pomona, Johnny Ahten and his team are still very happy with their end results.

Ahten’s team entered the gates to Pomona with a brand new fuel system and combination.  At the end of their first round of eliminations, consultant, Don Jackson,  and Crew Chief, Al Ahten, found that they had taken their Clean Boost Performance Oil / Island Renovations A/Fuel Dragster in the right direction.

“First round was our first planned full pass” noted Ahten, “The car was on a mid to high 5.20 pass according to the increments and started dropping holes around 900 feet.  To say the least, we were very happy with those results with the little data we had acquired up to that point.

“I didn’t see Shawn (Cowie) until I could feel the car starting to lose power.  At that point, he soared on by.  We have to hand it to Shawn Cowie’s team, they laid down the fastest blown dragster pass ever in the opposite lane and we congratulate them for that accomplishment.”

The Ahten Family Race Team will next be competing at the second of five Pacific Division 7 Lucas Oil Series Events in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 25 to 27, 2011.
