<\/p>\nSteve Johnson will continue his 40th\u00a0anniversary celebration tour by making the long journey to the nation\u2019s west coast to take part in the GETTRX NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout on Saturday, July 18,\u00a0at Sonoma Raceway. Eight of the top stars in\u00a0the class will\u00a0be\u00a0competing\u00a0in this\u00a0high-stakes specialty event\u00a0as part of\u00a0the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy endorphins are exploding with excitement,\u201d Johnson enthused after receiving the call to compete in the GETTRX All-Star Callout. \u201cTo be invited at the last minute as an alternate puts a totally different spin on things. I\u2019m a big promoter of recognizing opportunities (like our BAT-man scholarships) and this one was laid right in our lap.\u201d<\/p>\n
With GETTRX providing a $25,000 winner\u2019s purse, Johnson was willing to make the long journey with his Suzuki from his Alabama-based shop to northern California\u2019s spectacular Sonoma Raceway to compete in the specialty event. \u201cWe decided to make the journey for three main reasons,\u201d explained Johnson. \u201cFirst, It\u2019s the richest Pro Stock Motorcycle drag race that I know of and second, the GETTRX All-Star Callout features a stand-alone television show on FOX. And third, for the opportunity to engage the Sonoma fans with the incredible access to our pit area as we promote NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The prize money, television and social media involvement provided by the GETTRX All-Star Callout race will create crucial exposure for the category and for Johnson and his fellow Pro Stock Motorcycle competitors. It\u2019s also the last opportunity for the motorcycle teams to test their set-ups in race day conditions before their next event, the U.S. Nationals, in early September. The eight teams will get two time trials on Friday before battling it out down the Sonoma quarter-mile on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event will help me prepare for Indy and work on my riding style.\u201d added Johnson. \u201cIt\u2019s so important to ride perfectly because it always provides a better ET slip. It\u2019s hard for me to practice at the shop or a local track, so this race is a huge advantage for me in preparing for Indy.\u201d<\/p>\n
