The latest is a state-of-the-art, 564ci Pro Linepowered, Jerry Bickel-built 2018 Camaro ZL1 Pro Mod that’s aimed at radial racing Down Under.
Dan is a man of few words and not one to brag or talk himself up, but he’s clearly excited about this new deal. “We’re going to rattle the cage in radial racing for a bit,” he laughs.
By “we”, Dan means himself, his dad Wally and engine guru Frank Marchese from Dandy Engines. The boys threw their collective hat into the radial ring last year with a ProCharged, Hemiheaded Pro Line-powered Firebird. That car ran a best of 3.88 to the eighth mile at just its second meeting, before running 3.90 (despite downforce issues) at its next outing at a Kenda 660 round at Willowbank. The team were confident it could break into the 3.7s; unfortunately, COVID then put the kibosh on good, clean fun.
