FOCUS! Not sure why we had to see new AE car in this thread anyway...

Let's keep the eye on the prize here!

I am guessing wide chassis cars are gonna sweep the podium. Like a mp9, d812 type car. Track just looks too crazy to stand up to abuse for over a week by nitro buggies.

Not going too well there is trouble with fuel, toilets and racing in the dark WTF!
mutiny tomorrow morning drivers not happy!
Delayed today for 3 hours something similar might happen tomorrow.
Some drivers have no fuel and could not run today fuel was supplied by venue but did not arrive.
Most drivers decided not to run as flood lighting not good enough.
Will find out more in morning!

Winner is going to be a guy who gets on with it, focuses on his own performance. Not guys who are busy complaining about jumps, toilets, the sun going down, etc. Those guys will not be successfull, ever.

I think they have that jump figured out. There was some practice footage posted of Maifield and others who were having no problems at all with that jump.

From the mouth of the current world champ...
It wouldn't be so hard on equipment if tracks weren't so hard packed.
