Ahten Looking Forward to Pacific Raceways Regional Action

Kent, WA – Johnny Ahten and his Island Renovations / Combust Filters sponsored Dragster Team can’t wait to get back to Pacific Raceways. Two weeks ago at the National event, Johnny’s strong on-track performance gave a big boost to the La Crescenta, Ca driver and team. A near career best 5.27 elapsed time in qualifying combined with a second round appearance are now just numbers on a results page.  The Ahten Racing Team led by Crew Chief Al Ahten, crew members Howard Katano, Kevin Colvell, and Chuck Costabile will have to prove they are worthy all over again.

“I couldn’t be happier with the way things have come together and it’s all due to the fantastic work my crew has put in,” said Johnny Ahten. “Heading back to Seattle after a good outing is so much easier. We have an idea now what the car likes and wants. Zero parts breakage during our National event appearance is also easier on the checkbook,” added Ahten.

The bottom line is something that every racer needs to keep an eye on. Johnny has been working hard to fatten up the financial tune-up with the recent addition of Combust Filters as a major associate sponsor. Mechanix Wear Gloves has also jumped aboard as a marketing partner, and along with long-time sponsors Island Renovations, Hedman Hedders, and NGK Performance Spark Plugs, make up a solid promotional attack.  Fireman’s Brew Beverages continue to provide the party favors and marketing support.

Keeping sponsors happy and providing a credible marketing tool is a big part of Drag Racing today. Going rounds and doing it quickly will be the main focus in Seattle. So stay tuned fight fans, because Johnny Ahten and the Stump Puller are ready for the bell to ring this Friday and Saturday at Pacific Raceways.
