Showing Doran in 41st place. Not sure what's going on.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 06:59 PM

Their number didn't show up on the incident report. Not sure if they have having a mech issue or what. Race is still yellow.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:00 PM

I think it's a T&S error. They are showing DP cars on the list. T&S really sucks. Surprising since NASCAR owns Grand Am and the NASCAR timing is actually good.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:02 PM

IDK though. Still under yellow, 30 seconds behind the leader, showing P32. That makes sense. Still needs to get fixed, though.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:03 PM

I think it was just a pit stop. The Mustang that Roush Jr was driving is now showing Billy Johnson in the car and in P29. Bryan is still in the Z from what I can tell.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:05 PM

Timing appears to be fixed. Mustang back in 5th and Doran in 7th.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:06 PM

3 camaros, 2 mustangs, 1 aston, 370.

God this timing is throwing me off

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:10 PM

Bryan to P6

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:15 PM

Yellow out. Civic stuck in the gravel!

Showing Bryan in P5 now.

Mustang, 911, Camaro, Camaro, 370

sixpax 06-22-2012 07:22 PM

the timing suxors big time

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:23 PM

OK, I have to go and pick up my S2000 from the dealer. Good luck to Bryan and BJ.

Zoren 370 06-22-2012 07:49 PM

Lemans America tomorrow at 12nn ET. Don't forget.:tup:

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 07:51 PM

I'm back. 9 minutes remaining. 911 leading, Mustang second, BJ in 9th.

Doran no longer has the fastest lap of the GS class. Their best so far is a 24.3x, fastest is appears to be a 22.9 from the Roush Mustang, and a 23.0 from the 911.

Race currently under yellow. We'll see if it restarts or finishes under yellow. Restart would only have a couple laps til the finish.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:45 PM

Back under green with 4 minutes remaining! Might get 2, maybe 3 laps to go.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:45 PM

BJ picked up a spot on the restart, now 8th.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:47 PM

2 minutes to go. 911 has a 1 second lead over P2. BJ in 8th has a healthy gap from the cars ahead and behind him.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:48 PM

BJ has caught up to P7 car. On his tail.

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:49 PM

They should be on the last lap right now. Waiting for finish results to post...

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:51 PM

And that's the race. The Rum Bum Racing #13 911 won. BJ brought the Doran 370 home in 8th place.

P2 qualifying position and a P8 race finish. Another solid result to build off of. Good work, guys. BJ, looking forward to hearing your post-race thoughts!

sixpax 06-22-2012 08:51 PM

P7

m4a1mustang 06-22-2012 08:52 PM

P7, you're right. T&S updated again. Must have been a last-lap pass!

great job!

b1adesofcha0s 06-22-2012 09:42 PM

Congrats guys :tup:

Dwnshift 06-22-2012 09:57 PM

Entire team did an awesome job.
we have one big flaw right now...and that is absolutely getting ( insert ur fav phase here) on restarts.
The v8s just have so much grunt...
The next big obsticle is that although we can qualify well...there are a couple carsbthat are def the class of the field. The Porsches weigh only 50 lbs on us... but run the GTS engine package...and Porsche is notorious for under rating their numbers.
Thats the sleep car for sure....and Roush mustang.....well its Rousch !
;)
Main thing is we got another race underneath our belts and the car is in one piece.
Watkins Glenn next week.....and we have some stuff to tweak on.
THNKS for the support ...this race will be on speed in a week ????
Cheers

ChrisSlicks 06-23-2012 09:25 AM

Good job guys. Another solid finish. You're definitely getting hosed on the restarts, need to find a way to minimize the loss to the torque monsters.

Race will be on TV in 2 weeks.

SPEED - July 8th 12:00pm (i.e. Noon) EDT

Shamu 06-23-2012 09:42 AM

Solid result for Doran team but agree you appear to be running into same issues AM team did going up against so many Big displacement cars. It seems like the Z is in between ST and Gs class. Youre qualifying times show the car runs in the open quickly but your lack of displacement hurts when your in traffic. So either you get a rule change that allows you to shed a few more lbs which is doubtful since your turning some of fastest qualifying times or your going to need to get someone to block for you. Maybe pay a Mustang team. Lol!

997 GTS makes over 400 hp with that 4 liter stock. I bet they squeeze nearly 500 hp from that GTS motor. Add a few goodies and essentially you have a GT3 race car. Yeah very fast car and extra 50 lb on that car is nothing. Probably let's them get a little more weight on the front end where they need it.

m4a1mustang 06-23-2012 09:46 AM

I think some longer green runs would help as well. Seemed like it took BJ and Bryan a few laps to get into a rhythm and regain lost ground from the restarts. They had a top 5 pace yesterday and would probably have finished there if they had some more green flag time.

Nevertheless a good result to build off of. Hopefully Watkins Glen will be good to them and we'll continue to see solid results.

Exciting! Can't wait to see the race on speed!

corbin09 06-24-2012 09:24 PM

would the rules allow you to look into a 4.0l stroker kit? sorry i dont really know the rules but just curious..

Dwnshift 06-25-2012 05:26 AM

Negative... We are allowed some engine mods being the smallest NA car in the class... But they won't allow us to go up in displacement.

wstar 06-25-2012 09:21 AM

Eh just put a Turbonator on it, good for at least 50 more HP :P
