Allen Johnson used a stellar reaction time of .029 (.000 is perfect) at the ProCare Rx NHRA SuperNationals today to defeat Kurt Johnson in the opening round with a 6.639/207.75 pass to K.J.‘s 6.664/208.17, then fell victim to Jeg Coughlin in the second round.
Coughlin took out A.J. by matching A.J.‘s first-round reaction time (.029), while A.J. followed with a slower .056. Coughlin crossed the line 11 feet ahead of Johnson, scoring a winning 6.647/208.55 lap to Johnson’s 6.655/207.43.
“I didn’t do my job very well that round,” said a disappointed Johnson. “I had a .056 light, and that was horrible, but Jeggie was on it. They made a good run. It would have been hard to beat. I’d have to have been double-O-something on the tree to beat him. But I can do that, I just haven’t been doing that the last couple of races.
“We’re making consistent runs. We got to the second round. Going rounds is part of the strategy. Now I’d like to have a break and go another round or two here soon. We’re making good runs, good power, and everything is on track.
“The Pro Stock class is not easy by any means. You got to have a break or two, and I just haven’t gotten any breaks this year. I’ve had to earn everything I’ve done. I didn’t do a very good job there to earn it. So, we’ll go to the next one and see what happens.”
