Veteran racers hoping for more success with drag race opener
at Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park
NORTH TONAWANDA, NEW YORK (May 2, 2012) – Well, we have got seven races this year, so that is seven chances to win one.
Jack Grainy, driver of the Grainy Brothers 1967 Chevy Camaro Pro Modified, has been racing in the Pro Modified Racing Association since the series' inception in 2005, and has yet to win an event. So, in the hopes of getting that illusive first win, the team has boosted its effort with some new engine equipment for 2012.We are ready to go, said Grainy, who has been racing since the mid-1970s. We have beefed up the engine and have a new blower setup with the help of Mike Janis.
He noted the team has installed a new data logger in the help of getting down the quarter mile with more success.
The Camaro, a G-Force Race Cars product, is powered by a 526-cubic inch Brad Anderson Supercharged Hemi built by Mike Janis Racing. A PSI Screw-type Supercharger sits atop the engine, which also features a Mike Janis Racing fuel system. This is backed up by a Lenco three-speed, and the car is capable of five-second runs at over 240 mph. The team placed eighth in the PMRA Championship Point Award Series in 2011.
Grainy noted that the competition in the series gets faster every year.
It was pretty wild last year, he noted about the PMRA racing. I cannot imagine what will happen this year, but we'll be ready.
Jack's brother Sonny Grainy is crew chief for the team, with Aggy Mudra and Jack Grainy Jr helping. The team is sponsored by Niagara Auto and Grainy's Automotive.
Grainy said the team is anxiously awaiting the new season.
I am looking forward to coming back, he said. We really enjoy the series, and are pleased to be a part of it as it grows each year.
The PMRA gets underway this year with the season-opening Victoria Day Weekend Challenge at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park May 18-20.
The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.PMRA.ca competes with its two companion series, the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, www.Quick32.ca and the Pro Bike & Sled Series, www.PBSS.ca offering a solid and full package of drag racing action.
