About Dan Horan: Dan began his racing career in 1987. Before that, he helped his father, Dan Sr , race Top Fuel Dragsters. In 1987, Dan bought an ex-Top Fuel Dragster and competed in the Alcohol Dragster Class. In 1990 he climbed in the cockpit of his fathers Top Fuel Dragster and had a most stellar season winning seven out of nine races and setting a class record of 6.50 ET at 213 mph.
He won the NDRA Top Fuel Championship in 1991; he repeated the feat by winning a second NDRA Top Fuel championship - the only driver to date to have done that. At the close of 1991, Dan felt it was time to go Nitro Funny Car racing. With a lot of help from "Friend" Rahn Tobler , 3-Time World Champion Crew Chief for Shirley Muldowney , this was possible. Shirely Muldowney said it best, when describing Dan's Racing Style, "He's A Natural!".
