Conti Round 3 Barber Motorsports park
 
I cant believe it.... It's been one year since the RC had its short debut!
After qualifying 11th and starting 10th... The debut was cut short as we were close lined in turn 1.
After a complete transformation... The RC came to life sitting on pole twice and starting in the top 4 the remaining schedule we ran in 2012.
We had a very successful test during the Z Nationals at Barber and look forward to going back.
The promoter test day is a week from today.
We look forward to seeing everyone again and thank everyone for the support.

as always, kick some butt guys!

you know.. it's not fair. Track season hasn't even started up here and you are on race 3 :icon17:. 4/21 is my first OTD of the year.

Can't wait to see the race! Get some revenge.

Dropping a second off of the current time would be impressive! Good luck!

Dwnshift 04-03-2013 07:10 PM

Make that 23-24's ;)
The track has been shaved and is about 3 seconds faster.

sig11 04-03-2013 11:07 PM

Shaved?

Well, I think you mean 33-34's but yea! lol 23-24's I am going to say that you must have fitted some highly illegal slipper side skirts or something! :tiphat:

Dwnshift 04-05-2013 05:29 AM

Yes 33-34s

Fishey 04-05-2013 10:00 AM

Grand-ams live timing and scoring today for me has been horrible but it looks like yellow flag before any flying laps? Looks like the ST class will get in a few laps! Good luck Doran! Lets see some speed today!

takjak2 04-05-2013 10:28 AM

Two wrecked cars on the first lap. Stay safe out there!

whis9 04-05-2013 10:59 AM

looks like 6th .9 off leader

Fishey 04-05-2013 04:20 PM

Looks like Tim Qualified...

Looking good Doran! You got yourself a very quick car :)

Thanks for the updates :tiphat: I logged on right as Tim came in to pit under the caution. I really like it when the announcers don't talk :icon17:

JARblue 04-06-2013 05:07 PM

of course, right as I post that, the Z comes into pit :confused: and it would be nice to hear why lol

danegrey 04-06-2013 05:08 PM

unscheduled pit stop

danegrey 04-06-2013 05:11 PM

they were involved in an incident, but I did not think they were touch and got around it

danegrey 04-06-2013 05:13 PM

no idea what has happen, but it states they are in the gar
guess done for the day

yeah that was a close one... the Z just stayed outside and looked to come out unscathed

that unscheduled pit put them back to 24th

I thought I saw them back out in the field... and the ticker said 24th place

**EDIT** just saw it :( sorry to hear... I guess I'll go change the oil on my Z now

DR_ 04-06-2013 09:27 PM

Doran just can't catch a break. Damn that was another race that they had a really good chance at the win.

thekinn 04-07-2013 12:05 PM

baahhhh... bummer. i was watching the timing on grand-am.com and was pretty geeked to see doran in 1st. At least I'll get to see a little action when it airs next week.

Dwnshift 04-07-2013 01:41 PM

Alternator took a dump... Not sure why how or what.
Voltage kept dropping and the car was done.

weird ... you guys had the fastest lap of the race and to end up with an issue like that derailing the run has to suck.

i predict lady luck will change direction next event, and all the bad crap Doran has had to overcome will get swept aside for some good **** and thus a podium type finish on the horizon.

:tup:

takjak2 04-07-2013 02:42 PM

Stock alternator? Surely not by this point...

Not stock and not sure exactly what /how /why...but the voltage dropped to 6volts and that was all.

Mike 04-07-2013 08:27 PM

before the failure, what were your laptimes? Did you meet your goal?

Dwnshift 04-07-2013 08:49 PM

I never got in the car during the race and ran a total of 6 laps .Tim qualified at a 1:35.2 so on new tires I don't think it would be an issue. In the race Tim ran a 1:35.8

Mike 04-08-2013 06:39 AM

Hopefully things will go your way in Atlanta. You definitely have the car to do it with.

Can we paint a big four leaf clover on the car? Maybe that would help with all the bad luck this car seems to have.
