WATERFORD MODIFIED ACE EYES TRUE VALUE
MODIFIED SERIES |
All it takes is one minute of conversation with Waterford, CT; SK Modified
standout Rob Janovic, Jr and he’ll quickly point out, “I have been eyeing
that series since it started.” That series, the 2007 Waterford track
champion is focused on, is the True Value Modified Racing Series, and
Janovic, with his race team, VOJAN Motorsports, has decided to “dip our foot
in the True Value pool.”
The 45 year old auto dealership manager has done his homework in
advance of the team’s decision to give the True Value series a shot. The
2008 Waterford “Sportsman of the Year” award recipient has paid particular
attention to rules, and how the sixth year tour operates. Janovic likes what
he’s seen, and what he’s heard, even more.
“I’ve known Mike Holdridge for a long time, we talk often, and he
keeps telling me I have to give this tour a try.” Holdridge, coming off a
fine 2008 season himself, always speaks highly of the series and its
officials. “Mike raves about the series and the way competitors are
treated,” said Janovic, adding, “That stood out to me and frankly I have
talked to several people, Kirk Alexander included, and they all say the same
thing. The officials are helpful and do the job.” Janovic said the TVMRS was
a perfect fit. “Lets face it; we could not afford the other tour.” Another
reason why he’s leaning toward the New England based series.
Janovic is taking the same approach as Jeff Zuidema who recently
disclosed his team will run a limited schedule. Janovic plans to run the two
Waterford events May 9, and Aug 15, is giving strong consideration to the
Seekonk dates, and if his schedule allows, may target the Oxford date in
July. The mid week special, July 15, at Seekonk, also has the attention of
the VOJAN team. Said Janovic, “We’ll see how it all falls in place, but we
are looking at four to six races and an even bigger assault next year.”
Janovic and the VOJAN team want to be ready when they take their
first TVMRS green flag this spring. “We have to teach ourselves a lot of
things, we have a lot to learn. We are going to be out of our comfort zone,
our team has been at Waterford a long time.” “We’ll need the help, that’s
for sure. We want to be good enough especially at Waterford and to be
competitive.”
Janovic is anxious to learn.
