I'm not saying you're wrong, but "I just know" isn't helping.

I'm sure if they were doing some testing on a T5, you wouldnt be able to 'survey' it.

+1. If they where testing it they could have not said any thing about it and want it to be on the DL.

Go there and click on the picture and itll bring up all the albums. If a T5 was there, it would be in those pictures. If you look close enough though... youll see the new towers and shock caps on Franks/Pudges cars. And if you look really close youll see some stud in photo 11 and Ben's good lookin girls stopped by too pic 27 on main<- far more important than any t5

They could have put a T4 body on it to keep it on the DL. They might not every one to know about just then. I gess we will wate and see what will happen.

All cars that were run were wide open for everyone to see. No secrets anywhere. I am sure though that the AE engineers are cooking some stuff up. Just nothing was in testing short of little parts and tires here and there.

I highly doubt they would let Joe Blow photograph their prototype truck.

If the are prototyping a T5, they're most likely prototyping bits and pieces at a time at this point. Their team drivers obviously know the T4 really well, so if they put new towers, or a new steering assembly on a T4, they team drivers could very easily and very accurately tell the r and d guys what the difference was like. Again, just my take from the information I have.

Joe blows a associated driver

FWIW, Xtreme RC was also at the race for the mains and got a bunch of pictures and from what I heard will be doing a spread on the Surf City Race.

so if they were testing a prototype car why would they enter it into a race that has over 150 people in attendance. then any joe blow could walk up to the new car and snap some pics. ill believe it when AE does a press release.
