Scott Douglas and his Douglas Motorsports team are looking to bring the PRO-4 Championship home to El Cajon
Almost immediately after the Douglas Motorsports #7, 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.
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 teams lead title sponsors. The continued support from Sycuan Casino, Ford Trucks, 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.
