Last night was one for the history books.
Jay Blake was officially inducted into the Division One Hall of Fame, and what an unforgettable night it was.
From decades of dedication to breaking barriers and inspiring everyone around him, Jay’s impact on this sport runs deep. We couldn’t be more proud to celebrate this well-earned honor—and to share the room with so many champions of drag racing.
Congratulations, Jay. Legacy secured. 👏Image attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment

Big things happening behind the scenes at Follow A Dream!
We’re excited to introduce our new lower end technician (aka engine diver), Johan Mejías
Johan put together a video in Spanish explaining exactly what he’ll be doing for our team and how his role helps keep our program moving forward. It’s awesome to have team members sharing their passion, knowledge, and voice — and even better to connect with our Spanish-speaking community in a real way.
Welcome to the team, Johan. Let’s get to work!

¡Vamos a trabajar!
