Default Roofer Dave's car last night, 7.69 in finals

His car was paired up with Dan Millen in the finals of 10.5 Outlaw. Millen came out on top. Dave's car worked very well first time out on 10.5 tires. The 7.69 pass was with about 15psi. Car has quite a bit left.

Sorry for the blurriness, the auto focus must have been looking at something in the foreground. I believe the mph on that pass was 181. Best mph of the night was 188 I think.

Those times are just insane man. It's nice to see him get the car together and down the track after all he has been through.

That was a nice run, it looks like Dave cut a good light too. That has to be alot of pressure to be up against the infamous Dan Milen in a final round.

I'm really happy with the results.Kurt Urban was driving the car.

Millen ran a 7.07@204 in the final.This is the first time the car has been in competition and it won $500 and a runner up plaque.

Millen's car is brutal.Lining up next to him in the final was cool considering what he has accomplished.

I'd like to thank everyone that helped us in the pits.A couple times we only had 20 minutes between rounds.

I'm taking the car to the track this week so I can get more seat time.

I think the goal is 7.40's for Race Warz in 3 weeks, but that is up to Dave. We know how to get it there.

Millen ran four 6-second passes Friday night. His car is awesome for sure.

I think Dan got the jump on the light. I remember looking, it was Dan .05X and I went .06X. I was trying my best!!
Thanks Dave for letting me drive your Camaro, it was a carnival ride everytime! Now I have eight 7 second time slips....

Congrats! Millen's car is a tube chassis just an FYI.

Camaro looked real smooth making it's passes, 'effortless'.
