Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on July 07, 1943)

Happy Birthday to Warren Johnson, the legendary "Professor of Pro Stock"! You didn't just break records—you shattered them at over 200 mph. Six NHRA championships later and we're still trying to catch up with your tire smoke.

They say age slows you down—but clearly they've never seen you behind a wheel! May this birthday be as thrilling as that historic moment when speedometers everywhere bowed in respect. Keep burning rubber, Professor; you're proof horsepower is timeless. Here's wishing another year filled with victories faster than anyone can count—just like all those drivers who chased after you!
