Dan Olson Racing Products has been designing and manufacturing components for all types of racing since 1969. In Dan’s early years as an engine builder, he realized that the oil pan did far more than just hold oil. He discovered the importance controlling the oil while it was in the oil pan. Through trial and error he also learned that baffling the pans not only controlled the oil for added horsep
ower, but decreased oil temperature as well. Today, more than 40 years later, we are still at it; designing and developing oil pans and many other high quality racing products to suit your racing needs. From that simple beginning, Dan’s company has grown into one of the leading manufacturers of oil pans, zoomie headers, marine oil coolers, wings, and other racing products. OUR RACING EXPERIENCE
Dan began tuning race cars and boats for legendary owner “Mr. Ed” Wills in the early 1960’s, then went on to crew chief the Pay N Pak hydroplane boat. In the ‘70s, Olson tuned many top fuel drag boats, winning many titles as well as tuning the first drag boat to break 200 MPH. It was during this time he expanded his product line to include custom oil pans, zoomie headers, wings, and marine oil coolers. In the 1980’s Dan worked for Larry Minor Racing to assist tuning on long time friend and legendary driver Ed “The Ace” McCulloch funny car. Nationals and many performance records across the country. Olson later tuned for rookie sensation Cruz Pedregon. In ’93 he teamed up with Rance McDaniel in a 2-year effort, which produced a NHRA Winston Top Fuel title and made McDaniel the seventh member of the exclusive 300 MPH club. After 2 years as crew chief for Top Fuel pioneer Eddie Hill, Olson came to lead Tony Schumacher and the Exide Top Fuel Team to the 1999 Top Fuel Championship. In 2000 Dan tuned Schumacher to the sports first ever 330 MPH run in Top Fuel. In 2004 Olson help tune 3 time Top Fuel Champion Gary Scelzi to be the first driver in Funny Car history to ever go 330 MPH. Today you will not find Dan very active in the day-to-day operations of his company, his son Brian has taken over those responsibilities.
