Mopar sucks in pro-stock

From AJ facebook...

In Pro Stock race day action in Las Vegas, things started off on a positive note for Allen Johnson and the Mopar team as they scored a hole-shot win in the opening round.

Johnson’s “Magneti Marelli Offered by Mopar” Dodge Dart posted a .027 reaction time and an elapsed time run of 6.699/206.20 against Drew Skillman’s 0.68 reaction time and 679/206.99 pass.

The next round saw another win-light turned on for Johnson against No.1 qualifier Jason Line who had a red-light foul to advance the Mopar to the next round. However, after feeling like his ride was down on power for both of those runs, Johnson and his team made the decision to change the motor before a semifinals match-up against Vincent Nobile.

“We decided not to take a chance and change the engine but when we reached the staging lanes, we suddenly realized that we had an ignition box problem that couldn't be resolved in time and that could cause us some grief,” said Johnson who didn't get more than a few feet from the tree before the issue ended their day. “We’re going to head to Baton Rouge to test before we head to Houston because we’re not happy. We’re not where we need to be at all but we’re going to work our butts off to get there.”

With his semifinal appearance Johnson moves up a spot into ninth place in the Pro Stock standings.
