Qualifying No. 1 at the ADRL U.S. Drags in Richmond, Va., was enough of an inspiration for Davis Technologies to expand their one race deal with Mike Janis for the remainder of the season.

“The sponsorship from Davis Technologies is only made possible because of the sanctioning body we run,” said Janis, who will compete in this weekend’s ADRL Gateway Drags in St. Louis. “With traction control legal in the ADRL it’s stupid not to use it. For one, it becomes a tuning aid for the crew chief. Traction control can help save a run and it should be looked at that way. For another reason, the fans get to see less aborted runs and a better show.”

Davis Technologies Expands Sponsorship if Mike Janis Racing for Remainder of ’09 Season

Qualifying No. 1 at the ADRL U.S. Drags in Richmond, Va., was enough of an inspiration for Davis Technologies to expand their one race deal with Mike Janis for the remainder of the season.

“The sponsorship from Davis Technologies is only made possible because of the sanctioning body we run,” said Janis, who will compete in this weekend’s ADRL Gateway Drags in St. Louis. “With traction control legal in the ADRL it’s stupid not to use it. For one, it becomes a tuning aid for the crew chief. Traction control can help save a run and it should be looked at that way. For another reason, the fans get to see less aborted runs and a better show.”

Janis believes the Richmond performance was just a harbinger of things to come for their team.

“We’ve been closing ground on our hot weather tune up and have been making progress inside the clutch can,” Janis added. “With the way the weather looks for this weekend we’ll need it. Temps in the mid to high 90’s definitely call for us to be on our toes. A track can get tricky but I think we’ll still be able to run a good number.”
