Notes: Johnson was one of 54 drivers at OCIR at the end of June, attempting to qualify for the PDA Championships' 32-car field. His 6.72 qualified #19. A 6.99 in the opening round fell to Don Prudhomme's 6.60. He was at Portland in August for the fourth NHRA Division 6 race. In the first round, Gary Cromwell's Chevy-powered car sneezed a blower, and Johnson made an easy solo to advance. In the semi-final, he fouled against eventual winner Jerry Ruth. Hank only entered one NHRA national event in 1971, and he won it. At the NHRA Supernationals in Ontario, he qualified #2 at 6.618/212.26, right after Jerry Ruth's 6.53/219. Hank then marched through the 32-car field with consistency and luck. In round one, he ran 6.66/224.43 (Top Speed of the Meet) to beat Dwight Hughes at 6.84/201. In round two, a 7.37/123.79 defeated Denny Fitt at 7.10/163.33 (an incredible holeshot!) Round three saw Hank return to the 6.60s, and he needed every bit of a 6.68/223.32 to hold off Dave Uyehara's 6.74/214. Chip Woodall did not show in the semis, and Hank ran a 6.78/167.28 to enter the final. He took out John Wiebe's 6.50 machine with a 6.617/218.44 as Wiebe fell off to a 7.30/182 at Ontario Supernationals. It was said that Johnson used the same 'slow staging' technique Steve Carbone had used against Don Garlits at Indy that year. Wiebe had gone 6.53 and 6.56 but went up in smoke against Johnson in the final. |
