I am just gonna be stoked if I can pull better than a 2 flat on street tires.

And a 10.1 pretty much missing a cylinder at the end of the run. Really awesome.

Congrats on your 10.1 Pass Dan! Its always a great feeling to faster then your old time and what better time to do it then at the DSM Shootout! It was a bummer we had some issues on Sunday but it happens. It was nice to meet you and GL the rest of the season on getting that 9 sec pass

Seeing this really makes me wish I went to the shootout. I'm not missing another one. Definitely coming out next year.

Nice run Dan. What was your tire pressure for your 10.1 pass?

I am not sure. My 1st pass was 20.5psi. But I don't know what it was the rest of the day
