Do we have any drag racing fans here?? Alan Johnson is the man. When you think about how impossible his challenge was, its incredible that he won the race AND ran a 4.42 to set the new national record to clinch the championship. Unbelievable. What do you think about the new points race next year?

If only all our Daddies were billionaires....... I won't deny Alan Johnson's brilliance though and that Camaro is one of the sickest 2nd gens in the country!

Damn good looking car. I think we used the same painter. I have heard about this car, but have yet to see it in person.

I remember the big deal when they broke into the 4's. My how time flys.

That was a fairy tale ending... Johnson is THE man.... to come back from 336 points behind mid season... and to do it in a last effort run with a record setting run deciding the outcome ! A true on edge points chase.
I was cheering for Dougy. I like to cheer on the "underdog".

Johnson is the king of T/F crew chiefs, though he has some good competition from Tobler, Beard, & Richards. That final round will be one that stands out for a long time to come. Sorry to see Doug lose it though. The expression on his face was of disappointment but you know inside he felt like he was just kicked in the chest. I don't think the new points system will be all their hoping for, i mean how much more exciting can it be compared to the what we experienced this year in PSB, Funny Car and T/F. I think the competition is so close in all the catagories that I dont think we will see any runaway points leaders anymore.

BTW: I have plenty of love for 2nd gen camaros as I have a very nice 12 bolt from one waiting for me to buy the damn car. Just like me to be putting the cart before the horse :lol:

Probably the most incredible comback and dissapointment in NHRA history. They threaten to set the record in Vegas, but did not get conditions. Alan is so fricken smart it is scary! I really wanted Doug to win, but he left it out there for the taking!
