Elma, NY– In the last three races Mike Janis and his Eaton Aeroquip backed team has begun their climb up the point’s ladder. The Elma, NY based team has seemingly found the consistency that all drag race teams look for.

“We have made some very good progress these last three or four races. We have a unique combination that no one else out here is running so we are forced to learn from our own mistakes. Our converter program has helped us not just behind the bellhousing but in front of it. It has forced us to look at things that we never paid much attention to in the past.  We are going for the Championship. Hopefully we can keep going rounds and make enough noise for people to want to become marketing partners with our team; it’s getting rough out here fighting the bigger teams.” We are looking for partners this year and especially major and associate sponsors for the 2012 season, added Janis.

While the new torque converter program that Janis is running may have helped the team find consistency it has also helped award them with a 75 pound weight penalty. The NHRA has implemented a new rule adding 75 pounds to any vehicle in Pro Mod competition utilizing a torque converter. This will once again force the Janis team to learn what their combination will teach them.

“Any variable that we encounter with this is new to us. We just got the car close and now we have something new to deal with,” said Crew Chief Mike Janis Jr. “I applaud the NHRA tech department for paying such close attention to the class and its needs. I understand why they implemented the new rule but just wish we weren’t at the short end,” added Janis.

 Heading into Bristol for the Ford Thunder valley Nationals Mike Janis feels that he can continue their recent performance despite the 75 pounds. “I think that we should be ok. Of course we’ve been forced to make some changes and that can always cause problems but I think it’ll be OK. Maybe we can put our Ford in the winner’s circle at Ford’s race and open some people’s eyes to the value of joining our team,” said Janis.
