Weld Racing’s revolutionary new Delta-1 series of one-piece drag racing wheels have been on the market for less than six months now, and already, it has a major racing championship under its belt.

Veteran NHRA Pro Stock competitor Allen Johnson and his likewise accomplished father and engine builder Roy captured their long-awaited first series championship after 17 long and frustrating seasons in the factory hot rod division, not only giving Mopar its first series championship since 1994, but carrying the Weld Racing banner to the top of the category with the brand spanking new Delta-1 Pro Stock wheel bolted to the J&J Racing Dodge Avenger.

Johnson scored wins at Las Vegas, Topeka, Denver, and Sonoma during the regular season, and with the Delta-1’s aboard, won three races during the Countdown to the Championship and never looked back on his way to the title.

Johnson was one of many in Pro Stock and the other professional categories to run the new wheel that was unveiled to the drag racing world in late June. Fellow competitors Jason Line, Vincent Nobile, V. Gaines, and Erica Enders all scored wins in the latter half of the season on the new wheel, as well.

The Weld Racing Delta-1 series of wheels are said to be the lightest, stiffest, strongest, and lowest rotational inertia Bead-Loc wheels in the drag racing industry.  The wheel was the brainchild of of Weld Racing’s VP of Engineering, Scott Rider, who began formulating the initial concept in 2003 as an effort to produce a wheel that improves every performance aspect of a racing vehicle, from the reaction time, to the elapsed time and speed, to safety.
