Sophomore Champ Car competitor Mario Dominguez and veteran Roberto Moreno completed two days of testing earlier this week at Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon. source: cart.com The team completed over 500 miles of testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, having traveled north to Portland following last weekend's fourth round of the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford in Long Beach, California. Tom Brown - Chief Engineer: "It was our first time ever as a team to test at Portland and we went there with a number of items on the agenda; firstly to complete some tasks that were left over from our pre-season testing at Sebring, then to address some questions that had come up in the first three events, to apply some geometry changes that we had developed while testing on the 7-post rig, to test the Brands Hatch kit that we'll be using next time out, and finally to do a little bit of preparation for the Portland race coming up in June. "The test went exceptionally well overall and I believe that we achieved all of our objectives. The team is really coming together as a whole now and I think we saw that last weekend in Long Beach and again in Portland. Everyone, from the mechanics to the drivers to the engineers to the crew chiefs, is working together very smoothly.
