So I never thought I would have the honor of writing press releases for a winning race team, but life always has a way of surprising you, doesn’t it? Here it is kids: the first official press release from your favorite race team!
Chicago, IL, June 13, 2010
On the one year anniversary of the founding of [...]

That’s right everyone, the time has finally come. No more ugly html and css coding, no more random spacing of pictures and text, no more limitations on media embedding. We’ve upgraded!

After some long nights and days, I present to you Professional Awesome! 2.0! Since switching to a new web designing program, we’ve unlocked a whole [...]

Some of the more attentive readers may have noticed a distinct lack of updates on the site… I would have to agree that there has been a lack of updates that you can all see, but worry not – there’s been plenty of work going on behind the scenes.
Very soon we will be rolling out [...]

Last week, the Professional Awesome! team decided it was time to find out exactly how powerful the Evolution really is. After hearing good things from fellow racers, the team loaded the Evolution onto the trailer and headed north to Komet Motorsports in St. Charles, IL.

“From our garage.” we all replied.

It’s a rarity in the grassroots motorsports world to have a car finished well ahead of its track debut. In fact, it almost seems like poor practice to have [...]

Some of our loyal readers out there may have noticed the recent drought of Professional Awesome updates and may have wondered why there was the sudden drop off. We can explain, I swear.
As expected, building a race car demands a lot of time and because of this, we haven’t been spending any real amount of [...]

It’s science, really.

If you put a group of gearheads in one garage with piles of car parts, ~20 cans of paint, more tools than your local Sears, and a bare chassis, it’s expected that a car will materialize. This week (affectionately dubbed “Hell Week”) found all members of Professional Awesome working at full capacity. The [...]

Just a quick update for the evening, but I feel compelled to share with everyone the progress of our roll cage.
It’s green.
Not just any green, but a shade of green that is so damn awesome that you can’t help but feel a sense of awe when you look at it. Seriously, this green is just [...]
