Don Fezell Wins Class at NHRA Maple Grove 10/2/14 Brings Home a Wally!

Posted by Jim D'Amore III on 2nd Oct 2014

Don Fezell's 2008 Cobra Jet saw Victory Lane yesterday at the 30th Annual NHRA Mello Yello Nationals in Maple Grove this weekend. We recently swapped the Manual G Force transmission for a Rossler Turbo 400 Automatic. After doing so we had a hard time keeping the car on the ground pulling 500' wheel stands!!! After some Suspension tuning we were able to get the car to leave with out wanting to take off into orbit. 

Don usually runs his car in AAA Stock Automatic however this weekend after qualifying at a full second under the index with a pair of 8.6X runs Don jumped in the Stock Eliminator Auto Combo field. He made it through 3 rounds of eliminations to win his First Wally of the Season! Don's Cobra Jet has been prepared, built, and tuned by our awesome crew at Team JDM especially my father Jim D'Amore who was with Don Yesterday helping him through out the day. 

Don wanted to thank some of his contingency sponsors like Kooks Custom Headers, Mahle, Comp Camshafts, and Ford Racing. Many of these winning products are tested on cars like Don's we offer to our customers!

Check out Don pull off this 500' Wheel Stand!!
