Dodge Viper joins ALMS GT2 ranks

Next week's American Le Mans Series race at Mid-Ohio will feature a special guest appearance by the Dodge Viper Competition Coupe in the GT2 class. Woodhouse Performance, which runs a pair of the cars in the Speed World Challenge series, is converting its #13 car to GT2 specs for the ALMS race to help itself and Dodge determine whether or not the Viper's a good fit for ALMS GT2. If the car's competitive, Dodge could then offer up the race Vipers to customers with the added selling point of having two race series in which they can be campaigned. Mid-Ohio is the only race on the ALMS calendar that the Woodhouse Viper will compete in this year.
