NHRA\u2019s six-race Johnson\u2019s Horsepowered Garage Mountain Motor Pro Stock class has a new No. 1 qualifier bonus, as Feather-Lite Batteries, which provides high-performance racing batteries to the racing trade, has signed up to offer a bonus to the fastest car in each event on the calendar.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Feather-Lite is offering its customers the chance to win a double-up bonus for winning a race on the six-event calendar. The Feather-Lite bonuses will be available to claim, starting with the category\u2019s season-opening race, the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, being held April 26-28 on the zMAX Dragway dragstrip.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to do something different to support the class, when we found out NHRA was stepping up the Mountain Motor Pro Stock program,\u201d Jonathan Pickett, president and CEO of Feather-Lite Batteries stated. \u201cWe have a lot of customers in the class, and I\u2019ve been a fan of Mountain Motor Pro Stock for years. We reached out to Richard Freeman, who\u2019s been working hard behind the scenes on the NHRA Mountain Motor program, to see how we could get involved,\u201d Pickett revealed. \u201c\u201dI felt like the No. 1 qualifier bonus and a couple of other things we have going would be a good way to support the class and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new bonus program for No. 1 qualifiers – regardless of battery brand affiliation – will pay out $500. If the No. 1 qualifier wins the event while utilizing a Feather-Lite battery and showing their Feather-Lite decals, they\u2019ll receive an added $500 bonus. If a Feather-Lite-equipped car with decals wins the event but doesn\u2019t have No. 1 qualifier status, they\u2019ll receive $250.<\/p>\n

Feather-Lite is also introducing a bonus points program for its customers. To qualify, racers must run a Feather-Lite battery and display the company\u2019s decals to participate. The low qualifier at each of the six races will receive three points, the No. 2 get a pair of points and the No. 3 qualifier using the associated equipment gets a single point. If the No. 1 qualifier wins the race, they\u2019ll get an additional three points. Winners from any other position receives a pair of points. The racer with the most points after the Las Vegas season finale earns a custom built trophy from Tom Patsis\u2019 Cold Hard Art.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re trying to do something a little bit different,\u201d Pickett said. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s cool to get a bunch of trailer checks, but at the same time, it\u2019s nice to have a trophy at the end of it all! There\u2019s a chance that somebody that didn\u2019t win a race all year still has the most bonus points and goes home with a trophy at Vegas!”<\/p>\n
This Feather-Lite Batteries bonus points program is separate from the overall NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock championship program, a first for the class. The winner at each of the six races on the 2024 Johnson\u2019s Horsepowered Garage NHRA Mountain Motor Pro Stock schedule will win $10,000 and a coveted NHRA Wally; the season champion collects $25,000.<\/p>\n
Feather-Lite Batteries, a J&J Motorsports Inc. company, began when racers were looking for a safer, better battery with reliability and more power. The company specializes in racing battery applications, but also offers batteries for motorcycles, street cars, motorhomes, boats and more.<\/p>\n
