About the car. . . .
Background. The car was built by John Vincent who at the time was with Matt Connolly Motorsports. Vincent then went on to his own Grand Am team (V-Pak). The cage was built by Victory Racing who has built many of the pro cages. A former co-driver, who is a mechanical engineer and shock tuner/re builder and who has set up and driven all of the Grand Am platforms including DP cars, believes that chassis wise this car is one of the best builds be has set up and raced. Despite being a 2 door coupe, it’s a stiffer platform than the 4 door 330s which is attributable to the cage.
