I am not surprised the times are a bit down, its very windy here (i'm in melbourne about 50 miles away) and cold. it is alway windier down there then here.

Did Bostrom practice? Where's his time? If its below top ten, then he must have been breaking in a motor....

he was 15th at 1m 37.128s, the conditions down there would be very difficult for those not use to the track. the high speed track and wind don't mix.

I'll bet Bayliss and Corser go faster!!

and i bet that colin edwards would win the race, and the championship....

Of course it's already Friday here..We may come from the land down under...but we are way ahead of you guy's on a permanent basis...the week-end race results will only go towards proving this.(wipes mouth with T P)

I'm sure Bostrom will improve but it's obvious he doesn't mix will with this track.
