Sorry...I'm brain-dead...
Manning took a run in two different cars for Ganassi... Of course that is Matsuura's ### It has been a long winter |

Briscoe fastest.
Four tenths of a second up on Kanaan. Turned the quick lap on his last run of the day. You can get all of the info on the main Indycar site. |

Another thing is,I read a quote from Dan,where he was talking about Tony Cotman leaving or not there for the test,and that his engineer Eddie Jones was stepping in as the Crew Cheif on a interim basis.Anyone know why Tony has left,or if he is coming back? |

Brad Murphey who raced in 1996 may have been Australian. And possibly John de Vries in 2002. |

I think that is because they were (erroneously, as you point out) counting de Vries.
Of course, Scott Dixon was born in Australia........ |

Is Geoff the only Australian to be on pole? And is Vern Schuppan's 3rd place still the highest placed Australian.
Damnit why didn't David Brabham give the '500 a shot, he's the odd one out! And back on topic, can anyone compare the times to the Atlantic cars around homestead? Or did they use the Roval? |
