Johnny Böhmer is the Founder of JBR Proving Grounds, a company which provides guidelines, consulting, and testing in accordance with numerous testing facilities throughout the United States. Past Cars Yeah guest Richard Rawlings, of Gas Monkey garage fame, sponsored and partnered with Johnny on his “BADD GT’ project and they cemented its place as the Fastest Street Legal car in the world. They reached a stunning 310.8 MPH. The car performed so well during this test with the FuelTech traction control and Jason Gatlin’s tuning capabilities, that Johnny decided to stay on the throttle through the final drive gear. Johnny thinks he has just begun to push the limits of this car.
