Great article on Dan [ The Pro/Sportsman ] racer with the MOST WINS of any past, current NHRA racer PERIOD. I think his business model and philosophy are the keys to success in any business or in life for matter, OUT WORK you competitor and you WIN . Luck is just the result of hard work !

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Good stuff Ken, I had been thinking this was be interesting to do for the magazine and you nailed it. Kudos to Dan for the honest answers, really enjoyed it!

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

I enjoyed that question and answer session. The way responses should be without the PC garbage. Made me laugh!

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Breakfast Club? Really Dan? :)

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Great interview, we've all seen how hard he works at his craft.


Jeff, maybe he didn't want to mention he sings along to Do Wah Diddy from Stripes while driving?:-)

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Great read, lots of funny stuff....thanks for the post Ken

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

I always enjoyed Dans Route66 columns in the Dragster. It was interesting to see and hear what it took to do what he does. Fletcher and Rampy are about the only 2 touring pro sportsman racers left in our type of racing. Both are the top of the heap for sure.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Absolutely a great read. Honest answers from a great racer. Lots of truth and some great advice.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Ken thanks for doing this!

Love Dan's no holds barred candor. He tells it like it is, almost WJ like.

Dan, thanks for being available to do these interviews. Makes us lowly racers feel at home. Heard you interview with Wes Buck earlier in the year and it was the same "tell it like it is" style you wear so well.

Happy Holidays!

Mike

Excellent article....absolutely spot on!

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

I love the story about his most embarrassing moment.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Very nice article. Dan is an interesting guy. I admire his truthfulness about the realities of being a professional drag racer.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Did he reference the "cheatin' stuff?"

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Ya know, some people just shouldn't say anything..................

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

I always loved his series in ND too. I was amazed at how down to Earth he was about relaying the silly crap he got in to when he wasn't on the track cutting people's hearts out.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Geeez!! It was a joke!! Dan said it first!!!

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Bruce is correct, there are some quotes that are just hard to forget.....Many seasons ago Dan was trying to secure a ride in a superstock car on the west coast ....I can’t remember the exact wording but it was something like this.....
You bring the car, I will bring the cheatin stuff......I laughed and laughed and laughed till my stomach hurt.....

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

I bought an enclosed trailer from a well known and successfull Stock and bracket racer. Tool box has labels on the drawers. One drawer says “cheatin stuff” and the drawer below that says “more cheatin stuff”. I love when somebody notices it and laughs when they read it.....You know you’re doin good if people say you’re cheatin.....lol

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

Then I apologize.

Re: Get To Know Dan Fletcher
 

His most embarrassing moment, I did the same thing my last run down the track this year in the 4th rd.
