Take one blower specialist, the guy that monitors, cleans, re-strips, and maintains the blowers on a Top Fuel or Funny Car team, and strap a camera to his forehead from the time he wakes up to the time he lays back down. It certainly isn’t for the faint of heart, as this dude is working his ass off. The Blower Specialist is Cody Weigand, and he’s in charge of making sure all the boost is there in Alexis Dejoria’s Funny Car. We thank him for giving us a peak into a day in the life of Alexis Dejoria’s Blower Specialist.
We’re going to give him an A+, not only for doing a good job with the blower, but for being such a good sport about having a camera on his head all day. We’re sure there are some outtakes that are AWESOME, so we’ll be pressuring the team for those as well.
Want to be a crew person on an NHRA big show team? This might change your mind. If it doesn’t, you’re just the kind of sicko we like, and if we were you we’d start sending in resumes to teams!
