San Diego, Ca – Dan Myers Racing will be making the trek to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to compete in the toughest Pro Street class at the 6th annual Street Car Super Nationals. Myers’ and his team have competed at the SCSN event the last 2 years. In 2008 Dan made it to the 3rd round of eliminations in the 32-car field and in 2009 he narrowly missed the 6.53 bump spot with a 6.58 best pass.
This year Dan is looking to be running in the 6.25-6.35 range and with engine tuning help from Lonnie Houde and chassis assistance from Bob Bunker Jr. he believes that it is possible. On Thursday Dan will be letting his son, Brandon Myers, make some license passes in the blown alcohol 1957 Chevy Cameo Truck. Then for the rest of the event (Friday-Sunday) Dan says “Dad will show him how it’s done!”
On Wednesday before the NHRA World Finals event in Pomona, Dan took his truck to make a couple exhibition passes along with some other local west-coast racers for the NHRA Career Opportunities program. In the stands were close to 1,000 kids and Dan laid down a half track burnout under power finally coming to a stop at the 1000’ mark. He backed up and then made an easy pass down the track. Helping Dan that day was his younger son’s karate instructor and new sponsor for the 2011 racing season, Hans Hemkes with Ramona Martial Arts.
Dan is excited and looking forward to finishing off the 2010 season with a good performance at the Street Car Super Nationals this upcoming weekend. The 2011 season for Dan Myers Racing is already shaping up to be a good one with the new sponsor from Ramona Martial Arts and continued support from Pacific Repair Services, Red Line Oil, Tom’s Differentials and Carolyn’s Miniatures.
