A quote from Warren Johnson, printed in National Dragster. Warren was explaining why he didn't qualify for the Englishtown (NJ) Nationals two weeks ago:
Ever feel that way?

I understand the real reason he's not making any improvements at this time, to keep up with Greg Anderson HP levels, and the suddenly improved Grumpy Jenkins engines, is because he's busy working for GM on the 3rd iteration of the DRCE block.

Also an interesting feature in the previous National Dragster about the widespread, complete teardowns on Pro Stock engines following the Columbus and E'town events, apparently looking for super light weight beryllium parts..... none were found. In fact, all engines met tech. As a result though, new "minimum" weights have been set for the rotating assembly, to try and keep everyone on the same footing.

 

I've always been amazed at how much WJ does. Not just with his race career but in developing, consulting and so on. He's a busy guy.

Yes, not knowing what's wrong has plagued everyone at one time or another. I could usually narrow my problems down to... Somewhere between the dashboard and the rear seat though. Good to see WJ's still human.

Are you saying there is a loose connection between the steering wheel and the seat,causing a misfire.

 

In IT it's called PEBSAK. Problem exists between seat and keyboard.

 

No keyboard's in race cars.


That keyboard thing goes on all the time HERE.

 

Looked at a F1 steering wheel recently?

 

Well.

A normal DRAG car,or NASCAR.The steering wheels in F1 AND INDY cars cost more then a Pro Mod.
