Team ready to run with new engine in G-Force Race Cars Camaro Pro Modified
NORTH TONAWANDA, NEW YORK (March 9, 2011) – After sitting out for a season, the Grainy Brothers are returning to the Pro Modified Racing Association drag racing series.
The Western New York team will be back with the familiar two-tone 1967 Camaro Pro Modified, but the G-Force Race Cars product will feature a new powerplant.
According to driver Jack Grainy, the team will be running a new 526-cubic inch Brad Anderson engine set up by Mike Janis. Fellow New Yorker and reigning PMRA champion Mike Stawicki will be on hand assisting the team with the new engine, which will feature a new PSI screw-type Supercharger. A Lenco three-speed transmission will sit behind the new engine.
Grainy said his team had to step up to keep pace with the competition.
“We had to do something to keep up with the others,” he noted. “There are some very strong cars in the PMRA, and we’re back in this to race.”
The Grainy Brothers Racing Team has long been a contender in the powerful doorslammer classes through the years, and for 2011 has acquired new sponsorship from Wolfs Den Products of New York, along with Niagara Auto and Grainy’s Automotive, who are back on board for the upcoming season.
Jack’s brother Sonny will continue as crew chief with the Camaro, and Aggy Mudra and Jack Grainy Jr will be on hand as team members.
The Grainys have been with the PMRA since its inception in 2004, and placed second in the Championship Point Award Series in the 2005 season. Jack said the team plans to compete in the entire series this year, and added he is impressed how the series has grown.
“We’re planning on running the whole series,” he said. “The PMRA now has a life of its own. It has gotten big. Look at all the names and cars in the series, and the times and speeds are some of the best in Pro Modified racing.”
