Chandler, Az. —  Armed with a new combination, the Santa Clarita, California based Fire Captain, Johnny Ahten, will be piloting his Ahten Family Racing Top Alcohol Dragster Team at the Pacific Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event in Chandler, Arizona.  The Team is more than anxious to kick off their 2011 drag racing season. 

“We’ve worked really hard this off season” noted Ahten, “a lot of research and changes have gone into our racing’s performance structure.  We’re looking to get some valuable laps this weekend that will take us with fresh data prior to heading back home for the Winternationals.

“All of the teams in attendance this weekend are hoping that the weather here at Firebird remains steady so we can get our Division 7 season opener behind us.  As of now, the forecast calls for questionable weather on Saturday and we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that it will move through by Sunday”.

Top Alcohol Dragster and Funny Car will have two qualifying sessions on Friday, February 18th at 2 and 5 p.m.  Qualifying continues on Saturday, February 19th with Final eliminations beginning for the Alcohol Class on Sunday, February 20th at noon.  Racing schedule is subject to change.
