well they may not be able to run 7sec on the Camden track - but would be good fun to watch them try. Everyone is at the same disadvantage. |

| ^ new track, no proper launch pad since there isn't enough rubber laid down as yet and the less than perfect surface for the length of the track all work against high powered cars for putting down best times. I am sure if our cars ran on a proper track in cooler weather (like in the US and Canada) they will all increase their ET's considerably. |

breds if anyone ever took a SERIOUS look at the track on camden, it like ah grater, or even worse sand paper. the track may be flat and not wavy like wallerfield but the track it self is very very rough
oh well |

Well after that meeting the lack of traction caused the rpm to climb on a number of occasions causing some rocker and push rod damages. The motor has to be serviced now, and we don't know how long that will be. I feel sure, if a proper service has to be done on the motor it will not be ready by the 27th. If it is ready then it will have to be re-tuned and tested which would be hard to do on that day and compete also. But we will wait and see. |

I think some of the guys left today for races this weekend in Antigua. I could be wrong. Flambeau told me he was going but I have not spoken to him since that time to know the latest. Races there was supposed to be this weekend. |
