Default Roofer Dave's car 7.69 last night
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.

Wow.

I remember the first videos of him trying to get that beast down the track as straight as possible. Looks like he's come a long ways. That thing is scary fast and not even at it's full potential...yikes!

I think Millen's car (Mustang) ran a best of 6.93 @ 2xx mph last night so he didn't win by a full second.

I can't wait to see that Camaro run when its ***** to the wall full boost!

Dang, what did Millen end up running? And was it just me or did it look like the car got a little swirly on the 1-2 shift?

Probably a 7.0. He is bad news on 10.5W's!

Congrats to everyone who worked on the yellow car! I bet y'all are stoked so far!!
