If only we could

its still 2 weeks away Peter , what the heck are you packing ????

I hope Briscoe does well in Champ Car, he has shown he is fast on tracks that turn right...maybe he'll be on a top team next year & a top runner forever

norman-normal · 10 Oct 2006, 15:49 (Ref:1734207)

Should be a great event, and perhaps set some attendance records.

A contentious issue here..the attendance is what the Organisers think it should be.

cos · 10 Oct 2006, 21:54 (Ref:1734557)

Looks like a strong grid line-up for Surfers with Briscoe in and Pizzonia back. I think Wirth will be driving for Coyne so that's another proven racer on track as well.

drewdawg727 · 10 Oct 2006, 22:28 (Ref:1734576)

Not to sound like a downer but i don't think Pizzonia has anything to show.....or at least he hasn't when he drove earlier this year.

Except putting a Rocketsports car 7th at Long Beach, surely a super human effort. After not having any testing time.

His drive at Montreal was also worthy. Remembering he hadnt driven a champ car since April.

I think he has plenty to show, lets just lets get him out of rocketsports.

I'm going to my first ChampCar race

I don't know if any of you read Racecar Engineering but they (and Pi Research) had a contest to win a trip to Surfers Paradise and "shadow" a Pi Research engineer. Believe it or not, I won! I don't exactly know what my schedule is, but I'll be in the Vibe hotel and possibly riding around in the pacecar, or "a" pacecar? Any side events I shouldn't miss?

Don't worry about the V8's - too quiet, no racing
Don't worry about the V8 utes - no passing, drivers being too considerate of others
Don't worry about the Aussie racers - tip toeing around with more for show than anything.
Don't bring a hat or sunscreen - weather will be shocking
Don't let your missus worry - not a pretty half dressed girl to see
Don't worry about your liver - not a beer in the place.
Don't worry about The air force dump and burn - a match is brighter
Don't worry about the parties - everyone in bed by 9:00p.m.

I will take the tongue out of my cheek now!!!
