Behind the Ropes - Team Blog and Video Series (1 Viewer)

[Michalek Brothers Racing]

Happy Sunday, fellow 'maters. Wanted to share a unique content series that MBR is creating for the fine folks over at DragIllustrated.com.

The 7-part series chronicles an in depth, behind the scenes look at our runner-up finish at the 2017 NHRA Carolina Nationals; our first National Event as car owners. Each post includes a detailed breakdown from one of the runs during the weekend as well as a multi-camera onboard video to put you right in the heart of the action.

We hope the posts can help get you through the offseason, and we're open to any feedback that would make this type of content more enjoyable for the future. We tried not to sugar coat anything, and we called out all of our mistakes that we made along the way. We’ve come a long way since purchasing this car, but you'll see that at the end of the day we're still just an upstart operation that's adapting to adversity and figuring things out as we go.

"For the third time in as many events in Charlotte, Friday kicked MBR’s butts and we were down to one shot."

It was a rough go of it on Friday in Charlotte, but each run was a learning experience that helped make us stronger for the remainder of the weekend.

"An all or nothing run on Saturday morning, in the left lane, against a blown car, in Charlotte to try and qualify for the show…we’ve seen this one before."

With the pressure mounting, part 3 of our "Behind the Ropes" series for Drag Illustrated features an all-or-nothing final qualifying run on Saturday morning in Charlotte.

"Someday we want people to talk about us as the guys who lived for the grind that is drag racing, and as the guys who helped them want to live for it too."
