Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Steve Johnson attributed one of his best pieces of advice to the late class champion Dave Schultz.
“He used to say enough pennies make a dollar,” said Johnson, as he faced the media following the first day of qualifications at the NHRA Summit Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio.
“We are trying to make sure we use every bit of this motorcycle. We are making the right calls on the bike, but the more we learn the more we find out what we need to work on. We are learning that and the pennies are adding up. When we started [this season] we only had 50 pennies, but now we are up to 100. When you have even 90 pennies, you have a fast bike because you have all of these details.”
