Dan’s car at Pittsburgh Raceway Park for ProMod Race

Dans car at Pittsburgh several weeks ago for their big race event.  It was the first time it has gone down the track in over a year.  Changed just about everything but the paint and fuel cell.  Now sporting a 706 cu in Buck Racing Engine with 3 NOS systems, and a new Rossler transmission.  He ran 4.48, in 1/8th mile, in first qualifier on pretty much just motor, small shot of NOS.  That nearly matched his best last year with the 565 cu in running 3 NOS systems doing 4.45.

So this setup should take him to low 4s in the 1/8th in the 180 mph plus range and over 200mph in the 1/4 mile.  The motor should make 2,500 hp but Dan will only run it at about 2,200 hp most of the time.  More tuning and adjustments are needed but he has a great crew of guys helping him with over 100 years of drag racing experience!

With car….Dan’s MX friend Andy, Krista P., Dan, John P., Marty, and Dad.  Captain Ron Solyan didn’t want to be in the picture for some reason…
