(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
