Sucks, buddy, but you'll get 'em next time!

MACSIMIZER 07-01-2012 09:14 AM

Sucks to hear, hopefully you can get back out there soon.

We know, now as ever, the 370 has the speed to win. We know Doran is a winning team. You guys have pushed the package further than anyone else and the fans, enthusiasts are behind you. Keep us posted on the repairs and we'll still be cheering the Nissan's return.

Right now the game plan is to strip this car and get it to the frame rack..
While that goes on... we are obtaining a body in white a will begin the build on chassis #2.
The new chassis would then be debuted at Indy July 27th.
We def have a solid package right now... We were the only car in GS that could go from turn one to the bus stop flat.
When you watch the tv coverage you will see the camaros pull us between 1 and 2... Then the they slide and push and slide again... And we are able to keep our foot in it.

We have something in common. My car is on the frame machine now.

sorry to hear guys ... we'll get 'em at Indy ...

That's so sad about the avoidable accident. I felt for sure that this was your race, and it was looking very much like it was going to be. Hope you are able to get a car back together soon.

For your enjoyment.... And then at the end.

Damn that was a hell of a hit.

You guys looked like you really had some nice drive-off, though. :tup:

thanks for posting BJ

Damn that's awful. To take the car threw the field and for that to happen......... Don't get what the OP was doing. Could of been worse with more people involved.

Good luck getting it back. Keep us updated.

I don't think it's fixable from what he said. That other driver that hit him should be suspended for a few races.

The car was hookedup.com
The 997s still have some good pull and great gearing (hmmmm)
But we were consistently faster up the esses .. And through the boot.
Found something right after qualifying and going through tech that we changed for morning warm up or practice 3. In that session we tried it and went a step further...
It was unreal.. We had just the slightest understeer in the race ... But everyone else was much worse. Our car stayed very consistent.
We worked very hard on the platform and really nailed it.

Damn. That was some exciting racing. Horribly disappointing end. :( I'm sure that if your luck would change for just a little bit you'll be standing on the podium.
