Aeroquip Team Heading to the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals

Mooresville, NC – Following on the heels of the team’s best showing this season, Mike Janis and his Aeroquip Pro Modified team is looking to build off of that success by leaving nothing to chance.

Janis and his crew left their Buffalo, NY shop a few days early to hit their favorite test track, “The Dirty Mo” in Mooresville, NC.

Co-Crew Chief Kevin Peters explains why the Aeroquip team has such an affinity for the Mooresville eighth mile. “We’ve been coming here for a few years now and the entire track personnel go out of their way to make sure the track prep is second to none and they also help make our stay as pleasant as possible,” said Peters. “We may be in the heart of NASCAR country but they sure know how to prep a drag strip” added Peters.

After making several successful passes the team has packed up and headed to what Bob Frey lovingly refers to as “Hot-lanta” for the Pro Mod portion of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway, May 14-16.

Qualifying sessions are scheduled for 3:15 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. on Friday, May 14 and one final qualifying session Saturday afternoon at 1:15 p.m. The first round of eliminations is scheduled Saturday evening at 4 p.m. Final Eliminations are scheduled to continue on Sunday, May 16, during the second round of Professional eliminations.

ESPN2 and ESPN2HD will televise 30-minutes of racing highlights from the Get Screened America Pro Mod Series portion of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals on Sunday, May 23 at 11:30 a.m. (EDT).
