2013 Conti Challenge Indy
 

Doran Racing once again will take the 370Z Nismo RC to the most famous track in North America next week. The team will cross the famous Brickyard during the Super Ticket weekend (Conti, Rolex, Natiowide and Sprint Cup) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Last year saw the team sitting on the pole but as fate had it.. the race was played out differently.
Brad Jaeger and BJZ will once again team up or this race... And it will be Jaegers first stint at the circuit.
The actions starts Thursday .. and the green flag waives on Friday
Stay tuned for details

Wish I can watch this... Need to get home already

Good luck. Hopefully this year it stays dry.

GL!

Here's for long running under green flags!

Good luck, and may everything fall into place this year. :tup:

Both my daughter and I will be cheering you all on! Unfortunately, we can't come out to the track, but we will be hopefully watching on TV. :excited:

Good luck my friend, here's to another pole and podium finish to go with it!

Does anyone know what channel will carry it? Not talking about Nationwifde or Sprint Cup. Rolex and Conti?

Rolex @ Indy will be on Speed channel 7/26 @ 7:30pm EDT

Continential tire challenge will air 8/3 @ 4:00pm EDT

Thank you!

Welp another race ... Another just ... I have no idea.
The first session which was 1:50 long we fought gear box issues. This took u away from critical setup time as we only got 45 minutes into the session and gave most of that time to Brad to get acclimated.
Second session on Watkins Glen race tires we dipped into the 1:35s .7 behind p1.
The track temp climbed high for quali' and brad was still able to put the RC p9.
We were very stoked.
The race started and on lap 1 or 2.. The black 01 camaro came across Brads nose in turn 9 and knocked the alignment out of whack.
We came in for our pitstop .. It wen full course yellow... Out of nowhere.
Just bad luck
Lap down but got it back on waive arounds... But still put us at the tail end of the GS field
With the toe knocked out of whack..the car had terrible understeer.. Especially on the oval.
Picking our way through the field we climbed up ..but then quickly lost all the positions when once again the grearbox locked up in 4th gear... Even though the shift lever was in 5th.
We have nooooo idea what the deal is on this... It was a brand spankin new trans that we installed in the 2nd practice.
Not sure what the deal is... But somehow I was able to finally have it pop into neutral but fell back to 19th.
With 10 minutes to go .. We fought back up to 13th before the race ended under yellow.
Unreal.

:icon14: :(

bah. bummer. Thanks for the update, don't give up!

We are so sorry to hear that. That explains why we could never find the Z on the TV....Stupid camaro... :shakes head:
So how does that effect the teams standing; if at all? We know this may feel like a setback, but chins up, we know you guys can nail it on the next one! We are still cheering you all on!
