Firepunk Diesel’s 1970 Duster Now Quickest and Fastest with an
ET of 4.101 and a recorded 194.41 MPH
Mt Gilead, OH, (June 11, 2024) – Hot Shot’s Secret®, a leading manufacturer of diesel performance additives, race fluids and oils and longtime sponsor of the Firepunk Diesel race team, congratulates owner Lavon Miller and driver Larson Miller for acquiring two Pro Mod records for speed (194.41 mph) and elapsed time (4.101). The records were set at the first and third Outlaw Diesel Super Series events of the season.
In the first ODSS event, two racers competing in Pro Mod class battled for top honors in ET at Orlando Speed World as part of the Florida Truck Meet (April 5-6). Larson Miller, driver of the Firepunk Diesel Duster, briefly held the title for quickest ET, before Johnny Gilbert, also a Hot Shot’s Secret sponsored racer, set an ET record of 4.109. Though losing the battle for the best ET, Miller achieved a record-breaking speed of 194.41 MPH.
The new ET record occurred on June 2nd at the Outlaw Diesel Revenge presented by Firepunk Diesel. At this ODSS event, which runs simultaneously with Ultimate Callout Challenge at Indianapolis Raceway Park, Miller got revenge; recording a 4.101 pass to set the new Pro Mod record for diesel drag racing. This makes Firepunk Diesel’s dark plum, Cummins-powered Duster both the fastest and quickest diesel Pro Mod.
Hot Shot’s Secret Director of Field Marketing and Partnerships, Kyle Fischer, says, “For there to be this much excitement in diesel competition so early in the season is crazy. When the top competitors stage you can feel the electricity and anticipation. Congratulations to Larson and the entire Firepunk Diesel team and to all the competitors that are proving what diesel technology can accomplish.”
Firepunk Diesel Owner, Lavon Miller, adds, “We’ve been very fortunate to have assembled a great team of partners to help make diesel motorsports history. Hot Shot’s Secret has been a part of this journey for years beginning with our record setting S10. This is just the beginning of what you can expect from this car. With a few tweaks, I think we will break even more records this season.”
The record holding Firepunk Diesel Duster features a D&J Precision Machine Executioner 6.7L Cummins engine, a 5-speed Liberty transmission with a Ty-Drive and a Neal Chance converter. The engine, fuel system and transmission, all performing under extreme conditions, with the protection of a slate of Hot Shot’s Secret diesel performance additives, Adrenaline Racing Engine Oil, Transmission Fluid and Gear Oil.
