Doran racing Mid Ohio World Challenge GTS

By the way, BJ, Hope you are ok.?

Yea im fine... Actually the car drove back to the transporter fine... Just knocked rear toe in a bit.
The other bummer of it all ... SCCA gave the Z a new tire this year.... Only the rear tire they gave it is 6" larger in circumference... And it killed the car. The gear was really awful and cost .7-.8 seconds a lap on acceleration.
We were about 4 mph better rolling min speed through the carousel... But 2mph slower entering turn 1.
We would have gotten to a high 1:28 in qualifying for sure... The temps and psi had just came up
Boys are now burning the midnight oil trying to build a new #14 for road america

And yes that is the astons rocker panel hitting our A pilar and left front tire coming down on the front window.

Fark, the Doran boys build a strong race car then (or was that a NISMO-built chassis) ...
