Douglas
Motorsports Looking to Add PRO-4 Championship Title to Resume
(El Cajon, CA)
April 10, 2008 - Scott Douglas and his Douglas Motorsports team
are looking to bring the PRO-4 Championship home to El Cajon.
Almost immediately after the #7 AMSOIL Kumho Tire Sycuan Casino
Fox Shox KC Hilites Ford F-150 won the final CORR race of 2007,
team engineer, Bill Smith was finalizing plans for a completely
new Douglas Motorsports chassis for the 2008 season.
By March, chief
mechanic, Jason Schampers, was putting on the finishing touches on
the new race truck. “Scott really emphasized he wanted to get the
new truck completed well before the start of the season,”
commented Schampers. “We wanted get to the test track and use our
current race truck as a base line to determine the performance of
the new truck.”
After the first
test session, the new Fox Shox equipped truck was noticeably
quicker, especially in the rougher portions of the track. “Bill
Smith has been with me for three years,” stated Douglas. “During
that time he’s been fine tuning someone else’s chassis. Bill had
some new ideas to improve handling, so I gave him the green light
to design and build a new truck. After each test session we spent
some time with John Marking at Fox Shox, and he really helped us
fine tune this new chassis. We’ve had three test sessions, and I
can safely say we have a very fast race truck.”
The off season
saw Douglas Motorsports sign multi-year marketing contracts
keeping AMSOIL and Kumho Tire as the team’s lead title sponsors.
The continued support from Sycuan Casino, Ford Trucks,Fox Shox,
Alloy USA, Miller Electric, KC Hilites, Raceline, BorgWarner,
Petersen Fluid, Stewart-Warner, Hawk Performance, MSD Ignition,
Howe, Pro-Power Engines, J & H Transmission, Mastercraft,
McKenzies, Ringers Gloves, Scott Goggles along with the addition
of Walker Evans Racing Wheels, makes Douglas Motorsports a leading
contender for the 2008 CORR PRO-4 Championship.
The first
rounds of racing for the 2008 CORR PRO-4 Championship, is April
26-27 at The Fairplex in Pomona, California. If you’re coming to
Pomona, get your tickets soon, in 2007 this event was a sellout.
If you can’t get to the track, you can catch the first round of
racing live on SPEED, at 3:30pm eastern. Then Round Two will be
broadcast on NBC Sports, May 25, at 1:30pm eastern.
During the race
broadcasts don’t forget to view the new AMSOIL commercials
featuring AMSOIL Kumho Tire “Super Team” members Scott Douglas and
PRO-2 driver, Mike Oberg.
