FORMER NSCA CHAMPION JOINS PMRA TOUR IN 2008

PMRA.gifTwo-time NSCA Top Street World Champion Randy Jewell spent many years following the National Street Car Association circuit behind the wheel of Patrick Budd’s nitrous assisted Corvette. During that time he took two World Championships and one Championship runner-up back to his Holley, NY, home, but he never really got to race in his own backyard. The closest he came was when the NSCA ventured into Canada to the Grand Bend Motorplex. Now armed with the JFM Racing twin turbo Camaro he is getting that opportunity when he joins the 2008 Pro Modified Racing Association tour.
 
Built by his own RJ ProFab concern, the Jewell, Falco & Mars Racing Camaro ran a restricted schedule in late 2007, cumulating in an end of season visit to the Orlando World Street Nationals. 022608b.jpgTwo-time NSCA Top Street World Champion Randy Jewell spent many years following the National Street Car Association circuit behind the wheel of Patrick Budd’s nitrous assisted Corvette.

Crew chief Gary Falco was happy with the outing considering how few laps were on the car, qualifying brought a position in the prestigious top ten and even a component failure in the second round failed to dampen the team’s spirits.
 
PMRA.gifIn explaining the reasoning behind his move to the PMRA, Jewell said “I have been watching the series for a few years and it is going from strength to strength, it receives a lot of coverage in the media and really promotes its racers. With so many races being so close to home it only makes sense for us to run the PMRA.”
 
“Having a twin turbo car we will be bringing something new for the fans to see,” he added. “It will be a three-way battle now, turbo, nitrous and blower, and that should make for quite some excitement! The PMRA series gives us an opportunity to showcase the quality of work RJ ProFab produces, it is the ideal place for us to use as a marketing tool. I am looking forward to the year, I know it will be a tough deal but there should be plenty of fun along the way.”
