Some nights remind you why you love being part of a race team.
Good people, good conversation, and an evening spent together doing what we enjoy.
The crew was here, the lights were on, and the shop was full of laughter, stories, and teamwork. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening.

While he's usually under the car working on the bottom end of our Nitro Funny Car, this weekend Johan Mejías was busy making miles instead of horsepower!
Johan just won the Best Buddies Challenge, completing the 100-mile ride from Boston to Cape Cod. Even more impressive, this marks his third victory in the event!
Whether it's on two wheels or helping keep our race car running strong, Johan brings the same determination, dedication, and passion to everything he does.
Congratulations, Johan! We are proud to have you on the Follow A Dream team. 🚴🏆
