Dalton Zehr Sets a New Shelby
CAN-AM Track Record At Daytona

ShelbyCANAM.com and Bob Johnston teamed with Dalton Zehr and Dalton Zehr Racing www.daltonzehr.com at Daytona's 24 hour track September 29-30 to expand Dalton's road racing experience and comply with SCCA's four race requirement for his regional license.

Dalton drove SCA chassis 059, former Gene Harrington car (which still has the original engine seals from the Pro Series) to qualify 5th overall in a field of over fifty GT1, GT2, SPO and three other Shelby CAN-AM cars. In Sunday's feature race, Dalton set a new Shelby CAN-AM track record of 2:04.021 which eclipsed the old record of 2:04.695. Ironically, Jack Willes, holder of the old record for the last thirteen years, was at the track to witness his old record fall. Willes offered his congratulations to Zehr but indicated the current record may not stand long. Willes is in the final stages of restoring SCA chassis 001 and will be back on the circuit in the near future.

Congratulations to Dalton for another impressive drive. 

Dalton recorded a third overall finish running against high powered GT1,SPO and GT2 cars. In the race against four other Shelby CAN-AM cars, Dalton scored a first place win in the SCCA Regional race.
