Ahten Continues to Refine New Car at Vegas Regional
I have a list of things to refine,” said Johnny Ahten. “I am very impressed with the new car. The seating position is a little different so it’s going to take a few runs to get used to it. We used last weekend’s race as basically a test session. We will continue to sort it out and move forward. The good news is we didn’t hurt any parts and I feel confident if we calm the car down a bit we will be able to stick the tires and make some quality passes,” added Ahten.
Saturday’s first round of eliminations verses Megan McKernan was off to a great start with Johnny having the quicker sixty foot time. Just as things were looking good, the rear tires began to spin and the resulting tire smoke signaled the end of the racing for the weekend as McKernan sped down the track to a 5.408/270.37.
Overall it was a successful debut,” said Ahten. “My guys put a ton of work in on getting the new car ready. The new wrap by One11 Ink really was a crowd pleaser. Fans and racers stopped by to look and comment on the new Stump Puller. We now know the car is safe, so now it’s time to make it quick and fast,” added Ahten.
