CONTROVERSEY Overwhelms NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle!

[@montreysmitherman7466]

I have to pull for my homeboy Steve Johnson, his race shop is right down the street from my house and he's a great guy

[@KCadbyRacing]

One of the coolest dudes ever. He visited us in our trailer (at a SGMP Man Cup Event) to check out the manual quick release clutch lever 'claw' we made for my friend's ZX14R Turbo bike and he ended up just hanging out, chatting with us for over an hour...

[@georgeriley6996]

I have to agree. Steve is one of if not the classiest guys to ever race a bike. Imo no one deserves it more

Crashing a Pro-Stock motorcycle is a bit more sketchy than a car with a full cage.. A car breaking loose from a moist track is also a little easier to handle.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

My rain delay story thankfully was at a track that was well maintained and had excellent track crew personal and it wound up working out. I was a struggling Pro ET racer who did everything myself, built everything but the torque converter and transmission out of my garage at home. I had been out of drag racing for a lot of years when I decided to try it again. Had a steep learning curve but finally after 2 years of hard work in the first couple of months of my 3rd year back I happened to hit on a combo my car really liked, it seemed no matter what the weather conditions were the car just kept getting better and better with each pass and so predictable. Anyway at an early season bigger race on the schedule we were on a roll I was cutting great lights and car was responding as usual, the longer we ran it the faster it got. I was starting to take little bits out of it to keep it's consistent behaviour. I finally broke the curse and made it to the finals and it was getting late on a Sunday and the sky's opened up and it poured rain right before our final ! They tried talking us all into just splitting the pot and going home but the Super Pro guys and myself said no.. We want to try and run it off. I was very confident in my car and ability so we waited and the track crew prepped and dried the track and they let us inspect the track and shut down area before we ran. Us Pro ET guys went first and my opponent who had been the guy to beat every week was all of a sudden putting up a number that was significantly lower than mine when all day he had been slower than me but not by this much so was he hurt or was he playing games.?..then i remembered what Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins had said once at Bandamiere in Colorado when several of us young guys were talking to him between classes he told us all "don't worry about the other guy, race the track and run your car and you will win way more than you loose!" So we didn't worry about it and I put all my tune back in the car and put up the number I was confident it would run and lined up and let the big dog eat....my opponent by virtue of a lot slower number got to leave first and out of the outside edge of my focus on the tree I noticed he looked like he only made it about 30' and obviously broke something ....well I didn't flinch and cut a .007 light and dropped the hammer, the car squatted and I was gone like a launching rocket....ran almost dead on my number so my opponent would of had to be perfect to have beat me anyway and I won my first race in nearly 20 years. I have gone on and won many more since then but never forgot the longest day It ever took me to win a race. Turned out my opponent had hurt his car in his last round to get to the finals and it was terminal and couldn't be fixed without tearing it clear down (I think he hurt a lifter, cam lobe and rocker arm/Push rod. They replaced what they could and put up a slower number so he might could get me to jump and go red trying to run him down with such a big advantage....he was hoping it would hold together long enough to make the 1/4 mile stripe and maybe beat me but I called his bluff and ran my race) thank God for Bill Jenkins words of wisdom

[@brianiswrong]

It's a hard call to scrap a session, but you have to respect the NHRA's decision based on potential safety.. I wonder if a " damp" front tyre could be mandated for when the nhra decide it's needed due to conditions. I mean a front tyre which doesn't give the last 1000th of a second in ET ,but has a softer compound and a little tread to aid stopping. Then the " mist " rule could kick in ,mandate the front tyre swap and any teams that needed a run for data or feel could still do a pass and the spectators get there monies worth 🤔

[@slowpoke96Z28]

@@irieman442 well that’s not all fairly true sir -if one wants to keep it honest. Though a few hundred mph faster, the four wheelers have substantially more aerodynamic down force on much wider tire to surface contact, the same braking power as on any hot dry day and most importantly of all a roll cage. It’s no wonder two wheelers have less legal privileges in sever conditions on taxed roadways and thoroughfares.

@@marvinjgerald6007 You nailed it...It's two completely different animals when facing weather conditions on a bike vs in a car. Even when conditions are perfect a rider doesn't have the luxury of a cage to protect them when a run goes tits up.

Thanks so much for watching. Have you every attended a NHRA race? If so let me know which one.

Motorcycle’s are not safe. Period. Maybe the riders worried should switch to driving a nice safe top fuel funny car. 🤪
