Well we'll have to see this TF104B does....they are always lurking in the rear and hopefully in the pits they change all 4 tires and not just the frt 2.

Yeah right?!!

Villnueve will rise again! He won't be denied. He is under BAR colors but NO WAY, NO HOW is there gonna be team orders!!!

Let the battle begin...


Besides Button is signed for Williams now, Sato will blow up cars.

Jaguar has lost their star driver.

Maclaren is still trying to climb out of the massive hole they dug for themselves.(What the hell are they thinking signed him Montoya?)

Williams is going back to the single keel nose so they have lots of catcjing up to do, Ralf is hurt and Montoya is an idiot messy driver.

Toyota axed DaMata(cought him sleeping behind the wheel).Back to the minors he goes. Better luck next year with Ralph.

Jordan goes on complaining as usual.

Renault will most likely be found out that they are cheating with that launch system is elligal soon.

Sauber is goint to continue being a back marker.

Ferrari is in a different planet(still love Barichello thou).

And Minardi... poor Minardi.

I still think Maclaren will do really good if they get their act together..... Kimi is really good when he doesn't run it off the track, or the engine blows up....... That and I think the cars look cooler than anything else on the track

I like Kimi as well but cool don't win races... He'll be a good senior driver for Montoya or maybe he'll turn tails and head back to Cart... Championship contender to Shumi my butt. Kimi was closer last year...

Button is just too fast for the photo. BTW don't get too upset when I put you a lap down every round, I am just that fast.

Yeah, they were working good. They were KILLER on they're first run and then they got better on the 2nd and 3rd run. The wear was awesome as well. I still see the molding seem in the 32's haha.

Hey Korgae,

The compound has not been announced yet so as to keep the level of playing field even.

The rims and inserts are all ING and they will be premounts. The tires are marked and will be teched.

Ramil or Jesse can provide you with the details of teching the tires.

I had a few questions.

Is this a parking lot you normally race in. Sealed or non sealed.
Do you treat it?

How's the turn out looking for sedan mod?

Thanks

Hey Darren,

Yes. This was the same parking lot we had the first Smackdown event as well as club races. This is non-sealed but smooth. We do spray this with traction compound and have found a good mixture. Lots of guys liked the grip when we had our Indy race.

I have not talked to Ramil or Jesse as to how many have signed up. Judging from the guys that I know that will be running Mod, there are about 8 to 10 of us here in the Lower Mainland, not counting the guys from Victoria , Calgary and the states.
