DEATH RACE 2.0

TEAM M&F

Q Dan Petrulis (No. 9), a Con-
necticut police sergeant and SWAT
commander, was assigned to be my
partner. He was upbeat, smart, and

strong. Petrulis made it to the end,
but because his partner didn’t, he
wasn’t labeled an official finisher.

MEET THE KRYPTEIA
1

1. Death Race officials like taskmaster
Don Devaney are known as “krypteia.”
Their objective is to get you to quit.
Devaney is arguably the loudest and
most grating member of the krypteia;
he’s also the most popular. 2. Race
director Jason Barnes teases a racer
with a Pringle during a sensory-
deprivation task. 3. DR co-founder
Joe De Sena (in background) makes
burpees even more unenjoyable by
spraying water on racers.
