Does someone know what the DC stands for in DC Motorsports? I have been under the impression it is Del and his Wife Connie.

But it has been bugging me for a while.

Could be Dejoria and ? I just don't know.

Thanks ~

That's good question. I read her press release from the beginning of the season and it doesn't give me any hints. Sooooo, I did the Google thing and still no results.
I think you're suggestion of Del & Connie seems like a good fit.
