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. 🚴🏆

One of the biggest weekends in drag racing is coming!

FAIRFIELD, OH. The International Hot Rod Association announced today that the 2026 IHRA Triple Crown Finale originally scheduled for Darana Memphis Motorsports Park has been moved to historic Darana Raceway Maple Grove Park, creating the historic Triple Crown x2 doubleheader weekend at one of drag racing’s premier facilities.
As much as the IHRA wanted to return to Darana Memphis Motorsports Park this season, scheduling constraints and the limited number of available weekends made it impossible to accommodate all Triple Crown events on the 2026 calendar.
The result is a once in a lifetime opportunity for race fans and competitors alike.
Darana Raceway Maple Grove Park will now host Triple Crown x2 during an action-packed four-day weekend, Sept. 10-13, featuring two IHRA Triple Crown events and some of the highest payouts in drag racing history.
The IHRA Triple Crown series will begin June 19-20 at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, before concluding with the historic Triple Crown x2 weekend at Darana Raceway Maple Grove Park in September.
The first IHRA Triple Crown event at Darana Raceway Maple Grove Park will feature qualifying on Thursday, Sept. 10, with eliminations on Friday, Sept. 11. The second Triple Crown race will include qualifying on Saturday, Sept. 12, followed by eliminations on Sunday, Sept. 13.
Fans will experience the thunder and excitement of 12,000 horsepower Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars blasting down the 1,000 foot racing surface at speeds exceeding 340 mph while chasing some of the highest payouts in drag racing history.
The million dollar IHRA Triple Crown bonus will be up for grabs for competitors in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod, Mountain Motor Pro Stock and IHRA Pro Stock. Any driver capable of sweeping the entire IHRA Triple Crown series, including the June 19-20 opener at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, and both Darana Raceway Maple Grove Park events, will earn a staggering $1 million bonus, creating one of the biggest paydays in drag racing history.
Also competing for huge payouts and bragging rights during the historic weekend will be Top Fuel Motorcycle, Nitro Harley, Fuel Altered, Outlaw Pro Mod, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car competitors.
Single-day tickets are $40, with fans receiving a $10 discount when purchasing tickets online through IHRA.com. Weekend passes for the entire four-day doubleheader are available for $100.
Fans are encouraged to secure tickets early and witness the sport’s top stars chase record-setting speeds, massive payouts and a potential million dollar payday.
Tickets for all IHRA Triple Crown events are available now at IHRA.com

Who says a diver can’t play driver for a little while? 😄

Johan Mejías usually works on the lower end of our Nitro Funny Car, but he jumped in the driver seat to help with a few fire ups while the team kept working through the details. That’s what teamwork is all about at Follow A Dream.

One step closer to getting this thing ready to fly 🔥

Unfortunately, the IHRA Outlaw Nitro Series Triple Crown at Maple Grove Raceway has been postponed due to weather.
We apologize to everyone but especially to the students that were coming to visit us. We were excited to share Jay Blake's “Five Tools for Your Life’s Toolbox” presentation with all of you.
Right now, we’re figuring out what our next move will be and we look forward to IHRA announcing the rain date soon.
