Street Class Driver; Owner of the PA Evolution -
Ad Salesman during the week, furious racing driver on the weekends. Dan, like everyone at PA, doesn’t border on obsessive when it comes to cars - he openly admits that he has gone off the deep end. Dan has been involved with automobiles since he was but a lad and his abilities both behind the wheel and under the car echo this experience.
Chief Team Mechanic; Punching -
Known to fight bears just for the pure sport of it, Mike has a tendency to make things bend to his will. A student of Purdue University’s Mechanical Engineering Technology program, Mike uses his technical prowess to keep the PA Cars performing at their peak. Mike has been working with automotive performance since he was strong enough to lift a torque wrench, which some say was as early as his mother’s second trimester.
Organizational Specialist, Level III; Modified Class Driver -
A Purdue Mechanical Engineering Technology graduate with a penchant for racing cars, as well as buying and selling cars on a whim. Alec has been participating in a variety of racing events as both a driver and instructor since 2004. He now acts as the media and event coordinator for Professional Awesome, racing only when he’s managed to steal the keys from Dan.

Platform Development; Toiletries -
Grant has been working in the Automotive Repair business for the past 7 years and has worked on a wide range of vehicles, from the mundane, vanilla flavored appliances of Toyota, to the exotic and revered supercars of Ferrari. In true car guy fashion, a bulk of Grant’s free time is dedicated to his own personal fleet of project cars, including (but not limited to) a third-generation Mazda RX-7, a frighteningly quick Audi A4, a Subaru Forester XT that will give an STi a run for its money, and a truly unexpected Rotary-Powered Mazda B2200 (1300?) pickup.
The Professional Awesome! Evolution VII
Currently the main car in Professional Awesome’s stable, Dan O’Donnell’s weapon of choice for dispatching mile after mile of tarmac is a 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Ralliart RSII. Thankfully, the car has a repertoire that lives up to its long title. Dan never intended for the Evolution to become a track star, but as he attended more events, he saw potential.Import car enthusiasts may realize that the seventh iteration of Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution was never available in North America, but in a lucky series of events, a rare example of Mitsubishi’s top performer found its way into Dan’s possession.
