Conti challenge Daytona round #1

Dwnshift · 01-15-2013, 09:43 AM

While we have a moment to come up for air....
Next week the team leaves for round #1 of the Continental Challenge series at Daytona int. speedway.
Doran racing has been flat out the last couple of weeks building a brand spanking new Gen 3 Daytona prototype from a new chassis...as well as completely going through and updating our 370Z RC.
After the 3 day test Grand Am has agreed to give us back some of the restricted RPMs that were put on before the test.
We are looking forward to coming out and performing above and beyond where we left off at end of last season.

Yea, Doran has been busy with everyone pulling 14+ hour days 7 days a week! Building a new DP in the time frame given is a monumental challenge but if anyone can do it and do it without sacrificing quality its the Doran operation. I am glad to hear you got some RPM back and some new parts this season! Wish you the best B.J. - Ron

I'm really glad to see that you guys upgraded the DP. How many races do you expect to run with it?

Dwnshift · 01-15-2013, 03:02 PM

I believe it's a 3-4 race deal right now but....we shall see.

My daughter and I are cheering you on! We watched parts of the last one, so we are excited to continue to see you race!

Nissan based DP car? Which motor are you guys using?

Dwnshift · 01-15-2013, 08:32 PM

Negative DP is Roush Yates Ford

Can't wait to see you guys down there.

Shamu · 01-15-2013, 10:06 PM

Any Nissans in DP we can root for?

gomer_110 · 01-15-2013, 10:50 PM

I'm pissed Grand Am is not coming to New Jersey this summer.

One of the worst races I have ever been at was New Jersey for Grand-Am. In 2011 it was like 106 in the shade.. What a horrible weekend for that reason alone.

I was there last year in early June, perfect weather and great racing.
