I'm not sure of any major structural differences, but I know the later chassis was a bit lighter.

Weird to see a DP car, in essentially the same spec as the current Coyote/Corvette that is racing in IMSA, racing in historics.

Eric
Crew Chief explained to me that HSR goes by age of series not car so since DP is now 10 yrs old it qualifies

Eric drove car tonight. Said chassis, brakes, handling were all good but a set of gears was installed wrong so crew will swap that tomorrow morning
