Art "The Wrench" Lanier, the
man Johnny Airtime relies on when it comes
to going fast or flying high. Art is the
best mechanic Johnny has ever known, and
they have worked together since 1974. From engines to suspension, Johnny
takes it to The Wrench when it gets really
technical. This conversation took place just moments before a ramp to ramp jump
over an 18 wheeler lengthwise at Las Vegas
International Raceway on the Sand Drags
course. It was so dark that people had to park a few trucks pointing their
headlights at the launch ramp so Johnny could see what he was hitting. After the
landing he was in a well-lit area. Ramp to ramp in the sand at night in 1986.
Art Lanier made it possible and safe with
his trick speedometer lighting setup.
