Allen Johnson and JEGS to team up

[smokemasterJ]

I guess this is why JEGS stopped their engine program:

NHRA Story » JEGS, newly crowned champ Johnson to become teammates in 2013 and beyond

Right on!

That puts Jeggie right back in the hunt.

VC needs that last 2% of performance and any driver from any team just making the top 10 in Pro Stock will be an impressive feat.

I'm not knocking Cagnazzi at all, but it seems like their power nearer #4 to #6and they've got to move forward a few more spots. Maybe the Camaro is a slicker piece, but that is less than obvious so far ... secret seems to be in the hood scoop support (I think I owe Alan a $1 for using that line).

Nice to have three great clases of NHRA drag racing to follow ... but PS is still my favorite by a good margin.

Awesome news!! The new era of "The Dodge Boys." Great news for Vincent as well.

odd that jegs couldn't figure it out on their own
who helped with jeggie's first few championships?, thought they did their own
thing, but maybe not....was maskin a part of those years?
VC was his last one or two.
.02 guess AJ did not ask Jeg to join their program; maybe extra dodge money
from nascar exit.......good for drag racing, and of course jegs is not in nhra
to have fun, they are there to sell parts.
performance secrets in this class sure don't last long.

Given more time, they very well could have; these things don't happen overnight. But in today's racing environment, time to deliver results on significant investments isn't a luxury that's often afforded.

 

[Nick]

This makes me happy.

 

[MHayes]

Wow, this is great news!! Jeggie behind the wheel and J&J horsepower is going to be a brutal combination!!

 

[mastertone]

Excellent!!! MOPAR BABY!!

 

[Rajunz]

Yep, great news.... The new era of "The Dodge Boys" has a great ring to it.

I would guess that the $$ they tipped into their own engine program this last year would lease a J&J Engine for the next few seasons!

Dick Maskin did Jeggie's motors for his first couple of championships ... Right after Maskin did Jim Yates' motors for his Championships.

Pro Stock will be brutal next year for the competitors ... Fantastic for us fans!

yeah, I'm sure the other teams were tickled as all get-out to hear of this.........

I don't see Victor being down much. Erica was there all year..and of course Dave got one also.

Jason was there as well. I wouldn't count the Summit boys out.

Competition run rampant..hehe.
