Ahten Feels the Heat in Seattle

KENT, WA – Johnny Ahten returned to the dragstrip at Pacific Raceways for the LODRS Regional race and was greeted with a twenty degree temperature increase from the National event just a week ago. Returning the favor, Ahten lit up the track with a hot 5.346/266.64 run that slotted the Island Renovations / Combust Filters car in the number three spot for the day.

“We have been chasing a tune-up for this chassis for a while now, “said Ahten. “It turns out we had a bad clutch and it was throwing things off. Now that we have the clutch sorted out, we are looking forward to the business of going rounds.”

Battling the increased temperatures and solid competition, crew chief Al Ahten and team partner Howard Katano are have things well in hand. Bob Ahten, Kevin “Shark” Colvell, Chuck Costabile, and John Mark are sticking together in the Seattle sun. The Stump Puller seems to be enjoying the heat, and Johnny Ahten is hoping to keep things hot in Seattle.
