2013 Conti Challenge round #2 COTA
 
Next week is round 2 of the Conti Tire series at Austin texas's beautiful Circuit of the Americas.
The 370Z has been given a 50 lbs weight reduction down to 2850. It will be interesting to see how it helps... From all indications ..since COTA is new.. There isn't much grip.
This should be a very good condition for the Z ...especially if everyone behaves and there is long green flag runs.
The car has jus returned from the body shop and should be set to go.
We have a couple new tweaks including a new (old) shifter in the car. We will now be using one of the original 350EVO solid race shifters...which always worked great in the 350EVO Grand Am Cup 350Z.
Shoul be interesting..
Also.. We have limited edition Doran Racing 370Z RC edition T shirts for sale.
Anywho.... Transporter leaves Sunday and things get underway next Thursdays test and tune.

It's cold outside and I don't have a heated garage. :ugh2:

Even once it gets warmer out it's still probably going to be a couple weekends with the pile of parts I have to install though.

You could drive down here and we could help with the install. Heated garage and such.

Awesome, Go for it!

Thanks for the offer but, until the salt is off the roads I don't plan on getting the Z out of hibernation.

I also have a set of AST shocks that need put on when the arms go on (no reason to tear the suspension apart more than once).

Good luck - tear it up down there! I'll be cheering you on from the couch up here in snowy Michigan.

I'm guessing the shirt offer if for pick-up only at your race?

Dwnshift 02-22-2013 07:29 AM

thekinn 02-22-2013 03:23 PM
