Elma, NY – After posting a semi-final finish two weeks ago at the 24th annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring Nationals Mike Janis and his Aeroquip backed team have been busy attempting to learn all they can about their new US Transmission Quick Drive equipped B&J transmission.

“We’re running two cars this season and the only thing that’s the same between the two is the tranny set up,” said Mike Janis. “Every run we make we learn something. At the last GSA race we made some movement in our program and were able to take that to our other car. Now, I’m pretty confident that we can start to string some pretty good runs together and build from there,” added Janis.

Janis is quick to give credit for his new found performance to all that have helped with the transition from clutch to converter.

“Brian (Doan) and Mark Herbold of BDR have been a tremendous asset. Tony Eben from US Transmission Performance has given us a fantastic piece. LAT Racing Oils’ Danny Vaca really stepped up when it came to developing a totally new transmission fluid for us. His new tranny fluid runs cooler than anything we’ve come across. I can’t thank these guys enough for all their help. I just hope I can give them something in the way of a win soon,” said Janis.

Mike Janis and the other 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, May 13th at 3:15 PM. The second round will be later that same day at 5:30 PM. The final qualifying attempt will be Saturday at 12:45 AM. The first round of eliminations will be held later that same day at 3:15 PM. Final eliminations will run in conjunction with Sunday’s professional eliminations.
