Monday morning reflections from the shop.
This weekend was a big one for Follow A Dream as we fired up our Nitro Funny Car for the very first time. A moment years in the making.
In today’s video, Jay Blake and Robert Schwab take a few minutes to wrap it all up, talk about what they saw, and recognize the incredible effort from the crew. From top to bottom, the team brought the energy, the focus, and the teamwork it takes to make something like this happen.
The first fire up is never just about the engine… it’s about the people behind it. And this crew showed exactly what Follow A Dream is all about.
A huge thank you to all of the family and friends who came out to support us this weekend. It meant more than you know and we’re grateful to have you in our corner.
We’re just getting started. 💥

🔥 First Fire Up 🔥
Today, we brought our Nitro Funny Car to life for the very first time.
For Jay Blake, the world’s only totally blind crew chief, this moment has been a lifetime in the making. From a dream sparked years ago to standing beside a Nitro machine roaring to life… this is what perseverance, passion, and belief can build.
This is more than just a fire up.
This is a dream becoming reality.
