For the first time in many years, Jack Grainy of The Grainy Brothers Racing Team will be driving a new car in Pro Modified competition.

 

One of the mainstays of the Pro Modified Racing Association, Jack and Sonny Grainy  have sold their old Beretta, and for the 2007 PMRA season will be running a new G-Force Race Cars 1967 Camaro.

 

“It’s getting there,” said crew chief Sonny Grainy about the completion of the new car, which features a Mike Stawicki/Keith Black 526-cubic inch Supercharged Big Chief powerplant. “We’re trying to make the first show.”

Grainy added most of the engine and drivetrain has been removed from the Beretta and installed in the new car, but there is still a lot to do before the first PMRA race at Toronto Motorsports Park May 19-20.

 

“We’ve been at this for over 30 years now,” he said. “And we’ve been running a Pro Modified for about 15 years.”

 

The team finished fourth in the PMRA standings, and was second for the 2005 season.

 

Grainy said the Beretta has been sold locally, and pretty well stripped of its mechanicals for the new car.

 

He added the new car will eventually be painted black, but for the first few events will probably be run in primer.

 

“It will look like a rat rod for a while,” he said. “We’re still running on a low budget. This isn’t a John Force deal.”
