Interesting comment re the engine "problem" - having too much power

now just have to hope they do not bend themselves up as they are being packed into the shipping container on Monday

go the Kiwi's.

Yeah, good luck to everyone involved in this. It would be awesome to see some kiwi ingenuity (and kiwi driving talent) kick some butt over there.
Do we have a date when it's going to be run and does anyone know if it will get shown on tv here at all?

They were certainly up there, but it wasnt enough to beat back row starter Shane Alach at Huntly, although Pickens did get by on the final turn, he crossed the pole line in doing so being relegated back to 2nd.
But my oh my they went like the clappers all the same and was brilliant racing all the same.

That was a harsh call as Alach made several passes inside the pole line on his way through the pack.

Maybe, but I'm not really interested in starting arguments about things that weren't officially recorded, there are plenty of others out there who can do that ;D ;D ;D

See them go here ...
