Six More DORAN JE4s to be Produced This Year
LEBANON, Ohio, March 9 - Due to the DORAN JE4's resounding
success as the
championship-winning Daytona Prototype for 2003 and
its one-two class finish in
this year's Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, team owners
are clamoring for the car,
designed and produced by Doran Designs. To meet
the demand, company head
Kevin Doran announced today that Doran Designs will
produce six more brand-new
DORAN JE4s in calendar year 2004.
"The first of the six is scheduled to be available
June 1, and then another
one will be available every six weeks through the
rest of the year," Doran said.
Team owners who wish to purchase one of the cars
are urged to contact the
company now to place their orders so they aren't
disappointed later in the season.
One of the many outstanding features of the DORAN
JE4's design is that many
of its components can be easily replaced and/or repaired,
although of course
the severity of an accident has to be taken into
account. Doran
said that the
damage to the Doran-Lista DORAN JE4 Lexus #27 which
occurred at Homestead while
it was going for the lead late in the race was minimal,
with just the upper
rear wishbone, the upper rear A frame and two outer
rim housings needing to be
replaced.
The team's next race is April 8-10 at Phoenix International
Raceway, near
lead driver Didier Theys' home in Scottsdale, Ariz.
In other team news, Anne Smagorinsky, the marketing
communications manager
for Lista International, said that the Rolex 24 cabinet
promotion was very well
received, with over 900 entrants. Both Lista
and Doran-Lista Racing would
like to thank everyone who participated, including
all the entrants, the
journalists who covered the story, and the SPEED
TV crew which was such an integral
part of its success.
The grand-prize winner of the mobile cabinet was
Robert Graham of Richmond,
Va.
As an added bonus, 50 runners-up received Lista racing
calendars. All the
entrants also received an offer to purchase the same
cabinet at a special
discounted price.
