John Mitchell’s new Outlaw Pro Modified 2022 Camaro, built by the team at RJ Race Cars and Quartermax, is a beauty. The Martin, Tennessee-based drag racer was taken aback by the finished product.
“I’ve been bracket racing for 30 years and started running heads up about seven years ago, and I’ve been doing some outlaw racing. I’ve been wanting a Rick Jones car for 15 years and was finally able to get one…Let me tell you ain’t nobody builds a car like Rick Jones.
“I love it. My son is with me; he loves it. We ain’t never seen anything like it. I don’t know how we are going to wait till spring, we’ll have to look at it all winter, and it’s a thing of beauty. And I would tell anybody if you want a car, this is the place to come get one. I’ve never seen anything like it. Rick and Rickie treat you like you are a professional racer, even if you’re not. The whole family, they treat you like family.”
This car is powered by a supercharged big block chevy engine and will rely on a M&M transmission and PST carbon fiber driveshaft to put that horsepower back to the rear end.
The RJ Race Cars pro mod double frame rail chassis is set to handle the task of several thousand horsepower. The rear suspension features a RJ Race Cars built full 4130 custom fabricated floater housing with Strange axles and pro carbon brakes, all Quarter-Max 4-link suspension with billet adjustable 4-link chassis brackets, extreme 2″ splined anti-roll bar, extreme 1-1/4” pro series wishbone, and PRS pneumatic controlled suspension. The front suspension features the Quarter-Max threaded adjustable strut mounts, and Weld Racing Full Throttle 15″ x 3.5″ front wheels. A fully loaded carbon fiber interior from Quarter-Max features 48″ carbon wheel tubs, carbon double frame rail transmission tunnel, and carbon flat sheet panels. The cockpit features a Quarter-Max carbon finished steering wheel and C02 bottle, carbon finished K&R delay box, MSD power grid system, and Racepak V300 data system.
The exterior of the car features an all-carbon fiber body from Five Star race car bodies, with custom paint and graphics by SD Enterprises. The black and green paint scheme matches the repair fleet of the Mitchell family’s owned and operated Triple J Truck Repair in West Tennessee.
Mitchell is set to debut the new ride in 2023 at Outlaw Pro Mod races in his region.
