HOMETOWN RACER LOOKS FORWARD TO NYIRP PMRA EVENT

“When we were away winning two championships with the NSCA we never got to really race at home in front of our family and friends,” Jewell explained. “Now that we are running the PMRA we finally get to do that and its only half an hour down from the RJ ProFab race shop. Our first outing at the cancelled Toronto event gave us a lot of encouragement. I am pretty confident we could have maintained our third spot and may even have been able to go quicker. Things should go well for us this weekend. It will also allow some of our marketing partners come out and see what we do. The PMRA is a truly professional series and I am sure they will be impressed.”

Crew chief Gary Falco eagerly awaits the opportunity to compete at NYIRP.

“The two runs at Toronto told me the changes we made over the winter are working,” Falco added. “The Bear’s Performance anti-roll bar we fitted for an upcoming article in RPM Magazine worked a treat, the new billet Precision turbos and Profiler heads have upped our power level and randy is really coming to grips with the Bruno / Lenco. It all bodes well for a good weekend at NYIRP.

“People had said we would struggle at the eighth mile events but I think our 4.19 at TMP showed we can challenge in the eighth. When you consider Randy was out of it for nine tenths of a second on that pass it can only get better as we learn what the car likes, with all the changes we have made. We are still on a learning curve with this car, just wait until we have it figured out.”
