BLAIR,  Neb. (Feb. 26, 2008) - Woodhouse  Performance is happy to announce its return to  the SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge GT  Championship with driver Jeff Courtney.  Following a strong seventh-place finish in the  2007 points, Courtney is back to pilot the No.  99 Dodge Viper.

"We will again have Kenda Tires, MPI  Coin, TJM Integrated Wealth Management and  Badger Components as our primary sponsors for  the No. 99 car,” team owner Bob Woodhouse said.  “It's great to have them back, as well as JG  Wheels, Foerster Signs, Karavan Trailers, Eibach  Springs and Kicker all supporting the team from  last year.”
 
“2007 was a great year for Woodhouse  Performance and it is exciting to be back in  2008,” Courtney said. “We have created some  dynamic team synergy that I look forward to  refining this year. We intend to prove the  viability of the Dodge Viper in this series,  while several other teams from last year have  now opted for other cars.”
 
“We are looking to announce Jeff"s teammate  in the No. 13 Viper very soon,” added Woodhouse,  who has been a steady fixture and a paddock  favorite with his flashy cars, love for the  sport and sense of humor. “Jeff was a great  addition to the team last year with his patient  driving style and strong pushes in the fourth  quarter of every race. He keeps us in contention  and we are convinced the best is yet to come  with Jeff.”
 
Although Courtney was new to SPEED GT in  2007, his seventh place points finish came on  the heels of his 2006 SPEED Touring Car Rookie  of the Year title.  In the off-season his  tires have been anything but cool, as he has  been busy with performance testing and recently  placed second in the Koni Challenge race at  Daytona, Fla., Jan. 24-25.   
 
SPEED GT is revving up for its first standing  start March 14-16 at Sebring International  Raceway, with Round Two scheduled for the Grand  Prix of Long Beach, April 18-20.
