Stohr Cars designs and builds racing cars mainly for competition within the Sports Car Club of America. The business was founded by Lee Stohr in 1991 and is based in Portland, Oregon, USA.[1] Over 100 racing cars have been produced as of January 2011. Stohr Cars was purchased by Dauntless Racing in 2014.
Origins
After driving an Elden FF for several years in the early 1980s, Lee Stohr designed and built several of his own Formula Fords, Formula Continentals and a Formula 3 type car. In 2001 Stohr moved into the D Sports Racing class. Their first National Championship came just one year later at the SCCA Runoffs in Mid-Ohio.[2] In 2005 Lee Stohr and Wayne Felch expanded the business with the introduction of a newer, faster WF1. The company was one of the first to join the new Formula 1000 class in early 2007. In 2014, Stohr Cars was sold to Dauntless Racing.
