Tuesday nights are for the shop.
At Follow A Dream, this is where it all comes together. Long nights, focused minds, and a team pushing toward something bigger than all of us. Every bolt tightened, every system checked, every detail matters.
We are getting very close.
Our first IHRA Nitro Funny Car race is right around the corner, April 9th through 11th at Virginia Motorsports Park. The energy in the shop says it all… this isn’t just preparation, it’s belief in motion.
This team doesn’t just build a race car, we build opportunity, purpose, and proof that anything is possible with the right mindset and the right people beside you.
Let’s get to work.

We want to give a big thank you to John Crossley for the incredible work he’s already put into painting the body for our Funny Car.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail are really starting to show, and we’re excited for everyone to see how it’s coming together. Be sure to check out the photos of his painting progress so far, this is just the beginning.
John will be joining us next month in Virginia for our first IHRA race, and we’re looking forward to having him trackside as part of the team.
This is what Follow A Dream is all about, people bringing their talents together to build something special. We truly appreciate you, John.
