DOR Racing Buggy

Home

DOR Racing has brand new buggy that is currently underway for the 2010 season. Our new buggy is based off a Jeep Wrangler TJ (97-06 model year). It is built using about 4 feet of factory frame to keep the tech requirements and the rest is hand built from DOM tubing.

The buggy has some big changes for 2012 including swapping the suspension to a 4 link suspension front and rear. F-O-A shocks has teamed up with us this year to supply new 14” coilovers in all four cornets. The drive train is brand new from BD Turnkey Engines in Reno , NV . The motor is 5.3L LS with a Z06 cam and fully tuned. Transmission was supplied by Jer-C’s transmissions in Delmar , DE . It is a built 700r4 with a manual valve body and mated to a D300 which is twin sticked so the front and rear drive train can be control individually. The power is put to the wheels using some heavy duty driveshafts from Quigley Motor Company in PA. The axles are out a 1 ¼ ton military Chevy Blazer (D60 front, 14 bolt rear) each of which are geared to 4.56 and locked. We choose 4.56 gears (which may seem high to many) because with our extra crawl box it will offer the low end gearing we need crawling, but also allow us to run at higher speeds for the endurance racing events. We also use a PSC full hydraulic steering system to help steer our 40” Maxxis tires.

The team does have some changes coming to the buggy on the off season that will dramaticly change the look as well as help the buggy perform better on the course. Stay tuned and follow the build on Facebook, Pirate4x4, JeepForum, PavementSucks, and many other forums!
