The Team Behind the Machines | Episode 3: Getting to Know Grady 🏁🇺🇸

From the racetrack, to the workshop, to the skies ✈️ Meet Grady Wiggins—a Mechanical Engineering student at Florida Tech, drag racer, and newly licensed private pilot who has spent the past three years learning, building, and growing at Larsen Motorsports.

Whether he’s working on jet dragsters or soaring through the skies, one thing is clear: his passion for speed goes far beyond the finish line 🔥

This weekend at Midwest Nationals, I had the opportunity to talk with Antron Brown, 4X NHRA World Champion! 🏆 His kids and I grew up racing junior dragsters together and he has always been such an incredible person—he is so genuine, supportive, and doesn’t think twice if you need a helping hand. Thank you, Antron, for continuing to be an inspiration to many! ♥️

Absolutely love representing @floridatech at my home track in St. Louis! Huge shoutout to everyone at the university and @lmsjets for all of the opportunities I’ve been given recently! 🏁

First Market Day at Florida Tech! 🛍️🍋

Something I’ve already noticed since becoming a Florida Tech student is that there’s always something exciting going on—and Market Day was the perfect example! From food trucks to new faces and new experiences, there was so much happening right on campus! 🌴

Brooke and I had to stop by the Simple Life Food Truck, and it did NOT disappoint! A huge thank you to @cindybsimplelifefood for the kindness, great service, and delicious food! 💛

The 1st Annual Midwest Truck Fest at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park was an absolute blast! I had the opportunity to crew for Larsen Motorsports and experience their raceday routine and preparations before every pass.

A huge thank you to Chris, Elaine, Josette, Mark, and Doug for your patience and guidance as you showed me the ropes this weekend. I loved diving deep into the work that takes place behind the scenes. Some of my favorite moments include packing the parachutes, wearing the headset and listening in on the team communication during a run, and crawling into the afterburner of the jet engines to inspect the welds, tighten bolts, and check the fuel manifold and flame holder. I know this is just the beginning and I can’t wait for August!

Thanks Mom, Dad, and everyone back home for your continued support in my jet car journey! Love you to all the racetracks & back.

It was absolutely AWESOME to meet legends Cruz Pedregon, 2X NHRA Funny Car World Champ, and Ryan Evans from Count’s Kustoms/Counting Cars. They were both so down-to-earth and wonderful to talk to.

I also had the pleasure of representing Florida Tech this weekend. I am so incredibly grateful to be attending this university in the fall and I am super excited to learn even more about the opportunities offered there. Go Panthers!

Thank you to @dickersoncustomtrucks for putting on such a great event for an amazing cause—@pbabbate 🇺🇸
