Caruso Family Racing to Debut Ex-Mike Janis Blown Pro Mod Camaro for 2016
Canandaigua, NY – Two Time NHRA Top Sportsman National Event Runner Up, Marc Caruso, will be wheeling a 
new ride in 2016; the ex-Mike Janis Supercharged Camaro that finished second in NHRA Pro Mod points in 2015. Caruso’s Father/Crew Chief, Joe Caruso is no stranger to running a supercharged combination as he previously campaigned a supercharged corvette with Mike Cusimano at the wheel in Top Sportsman and Pro Mod action.
The car is headed to Vito Antonocelli Race Cars in Buffalo, NY for some updates and the team is looking to make their 2016 debut this coming January at Bradenton Motorsports Park for pre season testing. Both Mike Janis and Mike Janis Jr. will be assisting the Caruso team early on to help get them acclimated to the new ride which will feature a Mike Janis prepared power plant.
Caruso will be running select IHRA and NHRA Divisional and National events along with the newly formed Empire State Drag Racing Series as well as select independent Pro Mod shows.
“The Nitrous Cobalt was a fun car but when the opportunity came along on the Camaro it was something we couldn’t pass up. Getting a state of the art race car along with the help of Mike Janis and Mike Janis Jr. made it a no brainer. We’ve worked with the Janis’ and Jan-Cen Racing Engines in the past and it’s always been a pleasure but, to do it at this level of competition with a car like this is really exciting,” said Marc Caruso.
“I couldn’t do any of this without my amazing family. I’m blessed to have my daughters, Camrie and Ava competing in a sport my entire family loves. (Super Comp and Top Dragster) I’m lucky enough to have the support of my wife, Jackie, and I can’t thank my father, Joe Caruso, enough for his guidance and support, not just in racing but in life,” added Caruso.
The Camaro will be receiving a new scheme incorporating the familiar Caruso name on the door in the “Saprano’s” font. The car will be designed and wrapped by De Sign Art out of Arcade, NY.
