Vegas National Event Inspires Ahten

Las Vegas, NV. - Johnny Ahten is looking to the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals as an opportunity to just go racing. The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is not an easy racetrack and Ahten was there competing in the LODRS Regional race last weekend and all did not go as planned. A tire smoking Friday qualifying attempt was followed by a safe 5.48/258 first run on Saturday. In the final round of qualifying, a 5.464 /258.76 run put the Island Renovations / Combust Filters Dragster in the #5 spot and a first round match up with Megan McKernan.

In Sunday’s eliminations, Johnny was off the line first and headed to victory, or so he thought. Both cars had problems and had to pedal. McKernan got the win and the Ahten crew had a long and somewhat quiet ride home. The rest is history and small chunks of shinny metal.

“That was then and it’s over,” said Ahten. “I am going to use our last race as motivation. Now we have a new opportunity to race and I want to go out there and show what we can do. Our combination has proved to be strong. We need to go out and capitalize on it,” added Ahten.

Johnny Ahten will climb in his car on March 28th and blast down the Vegas quarter-mile. He will have the experiences of the past with him. Driving a Nitromethane Injected Dragster is not for the meek or faint of heart. Ahten knows this, and the inspiration, perspiration and the desire to win will carry him onward and upward.
