Down to the Details

We are getting down to the small details on the dream of driving and tuning a ProMod drag car.

Mike Janis Sr. and Jr. booked their flights today so everything is a "GO". When Mikey told me that he had booked flights, my heart began to race! Wow, I am about to do something that only a few thousand people on earth have done, drive a sub 6 second ProMod! I am blessed beyond belief.

Pretty much all of the big stuff is done but there are a thousand little things that have to be done before testing on Aug 13-14.

"The Black Hole" was loaded into Moby (the big white race trailer) for the first time this weekend to make sure we could fit everything we need for two days of running the car. Everything fit fine and the new air suspension was able to lift all of the weight without a problem.

The car even went in without dragging on the front end which kept us from having to take the front end off of the car every time we load it. There was maybe an inch to spare for the Honda UTV to fit under the car. Almost looks like the trailer was made for our operation!!!

You will notice in the pictures that the new carbon fiber wheelie bars have arrived (Purple and black thingies sticking out of the back of the car). They are beautiful, light weight, and very strong!

We sent out an invitation for you all to join us for the test session. At this point, we have a bout 35 - 40 people who will be attending one or both days. Some family, some friends, and some people who just keep track of the dream on the blog. It is going to be a lot of fun for me to share this experience with others! Those of you who can't be here will be able to see some highlights on this blog and Facebook!

Lodging accommodations are just a few miles down the road on Interstate 10 if you need a place to stay. There are 3 or 4 big name hotels and lot of eating joints in the same area.

I will be filling in more details as we get closer to test day.
