Except for Greg Ray in 5th, looks like the Honda's are really struggling. Uh oh, let's hope this doesn't turn into NASCAR.
Whoa, I just noticed the whole field was seperated by just over half a second. Maybe Honda isn't looking too bad... Last edited by evo; 17 Aug 2003 at 05:39. |

That half-second gap between 20 cars istruly astounding. Major credit goes to Cosworth for the imrpessive now Chevrolet engine. It certainly promisis top be a great race.
Greg Ray is having the seaosn of his life, being the fastest Honda runner this time. Top showing from a much-mocked driver now that he's in his own team. A shame he missed the first 2 races. You gotta feel for guys like Brack and Sharp. Usually a lap that close to pole would put you in the top 5. This time it's got them 15th and 18th. What happened to Meira? How come he's not out there.
