Elma, NY– Mike Janis and his Elma, NY based team have learned a lot in their first full season of NHRA Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge competition. One of their biggest lessons learned was about their competition.

“This year has been different for us. We’ve had some good runs, qualifying number one and made it to the finals, but consistency has been a problem and when your racing against the guys we do, you need to be able to make back to back runs,” said team owner/driver Mike Janis. “The competition out here is getting close to what you see in Pro Stock; cars are so close in performance that you need to really find every advantage in order to run with this group,” added Janis.

Janis, who has a reputation for building horsepower at his shop, Jan-Cen Motorsports, found that no matter how much power you have, if you can’t get it to the track it’s useless.

“Our business is to make power and every off season we run through a very extensive R&D program looking for that extra horse power. This past off season we knew the GSA series would be tight so, we worked long and hard to make as much power as we could; and we succeeded. The problem is that we don’t get much on track testing prior to the season so our complete set up has been a work in progress all season long. By no means do we have everything perfected heading into Vegas but it’s the best we’ve had all year and I think we can finish the year strong,” said Janis.

Get Screened America Pro Mod Challenge competitors will be afforded three shots at making it into the 16 field for eliminations. Round one of qualifying will be held Friday, October 29th at 11:45 AM (PST). The second round will be later that same day at 5:30 PM. The final qualifying attempt will be Saturday at 11:15 AM. The first round of eliminations will be held later that same day at 4:30 PM. Final eliminations will run in conjunction with Sunday’s professional eliminations.
