Countdown to the
November 2nd International Race of Champions
Scenes from South Dakota
taken Thursday October 30th 2008
South
Dakota today was hot hot today, most of the big guns were out playing
mind games. Doug Maloney was out with his super quick Audi Quatro
looking fast, really fast and firing shots like a true AK, the Eye of
the Tiger was on the ball today, impressing everyone around. Stuart
Maloney was ripping quick, that Evo is going to be trouble, that car is
really quick.
Andrew King was mapping his fuel system, you just know that he is going
to be a force to reckon with. Kevin Jeffrey sounded a bit spluttery,
missing, not cleaning out, guys left the track to do more work on the
fuel system.
Chris Campbell was out looking really quick and confident, its hard to
believe that this young fella only stared racing a short while ago. Doug
"Hollywood" Gore was out, looked good as did Guy Fraser driving
Gary Williams's Evo. Stuart Williams was out putting in a few laps, did
not see him really putting his foot down as yet.
Natasha
Farnum did some driving today, getting accustomed to the car and liking
it, will be back up on the track tomorrow to do some more driving.
Mark Vieira did not make it up today, his American mechanic and builder
of the Nightmare Mr Pettitt racing himself came in last night and the
guys thought it best to do some checks, they will be at the track early
in the morning. I took Natasha and her dad around to see Mark's Mazda
when we came down from the track, they were left almost speechless when
they saw how amazing that car is.
