Alan Johnson still winless in '12

May 17, 2012 |

BAYTOWN, Texas -- Alan Johnson, the mastermind of the NHRA, the man who knows more secrets about tuning race cars and making them go fast than anyone else in drag racing, is winless with his dragsters in the first five events of 2012.

Maybe that doesn't sound like such a big deal, except for the fact that it happens only once a decade or so.

It's the shocker of the NHRA season so far. The Al-Anabi Racing team, which Johnson runs, hasn't won a race with its two-dragster Top Fuel lineup.

They come to Royal Purple Raceway this weekend for the O'Reilly Spring Nationals with a dry spell as rare as an NHRA event without noise.

Going five races without winning has never happened for Al-Anabi Racing since Qatar's Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Thani asked Johnson to head the new team he started in 2009.

And it hasn't happened at an organization where Johnson worked, as an owner or a tuner or a teammate, in 10 years. Either a car Johnson was tuning or a teammate's car Johnson tuned and helped set up has won at least once in the first five races since 2002.

Questions & Answers

top thrill dragster launching sound?

Sep 12, 2008 by Dan
Not sure why, but I like this sound and this trip. My guess is that it is a combo of the mechanism, which includes cable and the friction of rapid acceleration. The route does go to 120 km / h in under 4 seconds. But I think you're on the right track. If you look at the titles of the race before you start, the first 100 meters or so is filled with all sorts of mechanisms while the rest of the track like track you will find on Millennium Force, Maverick, and Wicked Twister (lane normal).

Does the top thrill dragster actually make noise during launch?

Jul 21, 2009 by Andrew
Or is it just the crazy sound system to scare peoples
I know the rev of the engine is sound system but the big boom during the launch im not sure
I don't know how to describe the sound it makes when it launches but I KNOW it's not the sound system. I can stand in the parking lot of Hotel Breakers and not hear the sound system like you would if you were standing in line but I know without a doubt when a train runs. It's just a mechanical thing I guess....:)
