Jason Lofing
iRacing.com Series WriterJason is 21 years old and was born and raised in Elk Grove. California. A big time NASCAR fan, he hasn’t missed a race on Sunday in years. Lofing is also a huge San Fransisco Giants fan and tries to take in at least a couple games a year. Other than sim racing, his biggest (and far more expensive!) hobby is photography. Although he is rather new to sim racing, Lofing has already accomplished some pretty impressive results, qualifying for the 2011 iRacing Oval Pro Series in Season 1, 2011, winning the inaugural Landon Cassill Qualifying Challenge and finishing runner-up in the second one.
Tim Terry
Contributing WriterTim Terry, aka the voice of Maritime stock car racing, fell in love with sim racing in 2004 after he joined the Sim Racing Network crew as a pit reporter. From October 2004 to SRNtv’s closure in June 2007, he’s covered prestigious races and leagues such as the Online 500, FLM Fall 400, Real Racing Online and the DMP Racing League – each as the lead broadcaster for the company. At the same time the wheels started to turn in another direction as he began announcing stock car racing locally. Terry became the assistant announcer at Scotia Speedworld in May 2007 and took over full duties in May 2009 when long-time voice Mike Kaplan retired from the track. Terry also became the series voice of the Parts For Trucks Pro Stock Tour in ’09 and continues to hold down both posts in 2011. He has also announced races for the Pro All Stars Series, Atlantic Open Wheel and Maritime League of Legends tours and has called races at six different Atlantic Canadian tracks. Terry can be heard online at WebRacingNetwork.com, RLMtv.com and OLRtv.com covering sim races. He also makes occasional appearances on PSRtv.com. In addition to inRacingNews, his articles and columns can be read on ScotiaSpeedworld.ca, MaritimeProStockTour.com and his own website at timterryonline.com.
David Allen

In my spare time I run a Nascar fan site and cure my own need for speed riding atvs. If it involves technology or racing I'll be there, but combine the two and I'll be looking a front row seat. Stop by and say hello anytime!

Dalziel Speedy In Grand Am

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Ryan Dalziel won the 2010 Rolex 24 At Daytona with Action Express Racing, and finished second with Peter Baron’s operation in the 2007 event.
Sunday, Dalziel served notice that Baron’s Starworks Motorsport is a team to watch in the 49th running of the Rolex 24 later this month, unofficially breaking the Daytona International Speedway track record with a lap of 128.194 miles per hour (1:39.973) in the No. 8 Corsa Car Care Ford/Riley.
Dalziel’s fast lap came during the final hour of the final day in the Roar Before the Rolex 24, a three-day test session for the 2011 Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series season opener on Jan. 29-30.
“We are contenders, and we’ve proven that this weekend,” said Dalziel. “We do the best we can with what we’ve got. I think we could have gone faster. I didn’t put together a perfect lap, and we didn’t have a qualifying setup on the car. We know we’ve got more.”
Dalziel will co-drive with Mike Forest, Colin Braun, Tomas Enge and Jim Lowe in the Rolex 24.
“Having the fastest time in the test pretty exciting,” said car owner Baron. “We’ve put in a lot of hard work since last fall, and Ryan’s a phenomenal driver, and you can say enough about Bill Riley’s engineering. Our car came off the trailer awesome, and got even better.”
Defending Rolex Series Daytona Prototype champion Scott Pruett also bettered the track mark in the Sunday morning session in the No. 01 Telmex BMW/Riley co-driven by Memo Rojas, Joey Hand and Graham Rahal, running a lap of 127.740 mph.
David Donohue set the track record in 2009 with a lap of 1:40.540 in a Porsche/Riley.
“Running a fast time was not necessarily our intention,” said Pruett, who won nine of 12 races last year en route to capturing his third DP title. “We are focused on going racing and getting to the checkered flag first.”
The final day also produced the fastest speeds in the GT class. Leh Keen led the way with a lap of 116.649 mph (1:49.329) in the No. 59 Brumos Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
“We tried a simulated qualifying run and I nailed a lap,” said Keen, the 2009 GT champion. “Brumos really has its act together — they squeeze every bit of speed out of these Porsches.”
Keen and regular co-driver Andrew Davis will be joined at the Rolex 24 by Hurley Haywood — the lone five-time winner of the event — and Porsche factory driver Marc Lieb.
