John Barbagallo, driver of the JB Automotive Escort has announced that the team have committed to a full season of Pro Stock racing for the upcoming season. This comes after a promising Winternationals for the team running a personal best 197.54 MPH.
“Prior to the Winternationals I was on the dyno testing both of our engines and running comparisons between the two to see where both engines made their best power. We also wanted to test both engines on track performance at the warm up’s which gave us helpful data between the dyno and race track”.
After a little over an 18 month absence from Pro Stock John Barbagallo and the team would face the biggest meeting of the year with little to no expectations, using the ‘Winter Warm Ups’ and ‘Winternationals’ as a test session. “It was great getting back to race again. the Winternationals was all about getting ready for next season.”
“After our teams frustrations with a fuel issue in qualifying it was exciting to see that our hard work was starting to pay off with a new 197mph PB in speed in round 1. Unfortunately we didn’t get the win but we are looking forward to the upcoming season”.
John Barbagallo will definitely be one to watch this upcoming season. Tickets are now on sale for the first round of the championship at Sydney Dragway this November 15 & 16!
