How many races do you have to compete in to get rid of your rookie status?  If
its just one, Bobby Ray Hall was a GOB at Riverside once.

Should be an interesting week down in Phoenix, as Ken
Schrader and Jeff Gordon will be over at PIR doing some
WC testing.  Perhaps they'll offer Nigel a few laps in
one of the tin-tops for laughs and Kenny could give an
Indycar a look.  It'd be fun both ways.

Since Honda of America is entering IndyCar and not the parent company,
are the majority of the team american workers?  Or are they sending over
some of the same Japanese people who worked for Honda in F1?

Joe Nemecheck said on Inside Winston Cup Racing last weekend that he
would run a limited number of Winston Cup races. I'll bet he won't run
more than 4 since this would wreck a possible future bid for WC rookie
of the year...

The also said that Shawna Robinson will continue with her Polaroid ride
in the BGN series. I seem to remember last season that Polaroid was
considering two different situations and I'm happy they stuck with her.

Bzzzt!  The testing was done at Firebird, not the oval track.

Was the testing done on the same course where the F1 teams tested
before the 91 Phoenix F1 race?  I remember more than one track at
Firebird.

Some if not all of the F1 test times at Paul Ricard reported in the
Italian weekly "Autosprint" (No.52) may have been posted here before.
I have included them for completeness.  The magazine also contains the
following interesting pictures:

- A picture of Senna testing the Indy/CART Penske-Chevy PC92 at Phoenix
  Firebird.  Autosprint claims that Senna would like to test the car
  on an oval course some time in the future.

- Pictures of the new Ferrari F93A which looks, well, almost like
  a Sauber C12, except that the side pods are higher.  (And of course,
  the Farrari is RED rather than BLACK.)  The F93A will be tested at
  Estoril in January.

- Speaking of Sauber:  There is also a double-side color picture of
  Karl Wendlinger in the C12 in action at Paul Ricard/Le Castellet.
  The most interesting part of the picture is the bodywork which
  covers the airscoop/engine which sports a three-pointed star
  followed by the inscription "concept by Mercedes-Benz".

Verstappen has had a pretty meteoric rise so far.  This is
his first season racing cars after a successful time in 
karting.  He competed in the GM Lotus Euroseries last 
summer and was right on the pace in his first few races.

BTW Paul Radisich is strong tipped to get the second seat
in the British Touring Car Championship Ford Mondeo team,
alongside Andy Rouse.

I'm still trying to solve the Vintage Motorsport trivia question
I posted here earlier this week.

Here is all that I know:

	According the the old CanAm book Group7, the '68 McLeagle
	was built on a McLaren chassis using Eagle components.  What
	they meant by components, I don't know.  I think it was built
	on a M6B customer chassis, but it might have been a leftover
	M6A chassis.  The powerplant was Ford 427 Wedge.

	The Penske McLaren had custom rear bodywork.  I don't know of
	any other modifications to it.

If you have any additional information about these two cars, I would
appreciate to hear from you.  I'm only looking for information on the
actual cars rather than results.

Thanks in advance,

       According to RACEDAY on TNN, Tim is going to be the chief
       on the car driven by Bobby Labonte. Bill Davis is the owner,
       I think that is his name. He was the owner of Jeff Gordons
       BGN entry. The Babyruth car.

I could buy this, but I'd also bet that it was for a few
selected races in '93 rather than a "full-deal meal".
Indy of course, Michigan maybe, Belle-Isle?, Australia?
and perhaps the season-ending Laguna Seca race as a
possible 'spoiler' if the points race is not decided
beforehand.

Today's Swiss weekly "Motorsport aktuell" also reported times from
F1 testing at Paul Ricard/Le Castellet.  Some of the times they list
were quicker than the ones in Autosport (which appeared on Dec 22).
Apparently, the tests continued on Dec 21 and 22.  Here's a list
of their times, with the Autosprint times given in parenthesis:

A. Prost, Williams-Renault FW15B V10        1'03"45  (AS: 1'04"12)
D. Hill, Williams-Renault FW15B V10         1'03"57
J.J. Lehto, Sauber-Ilmor C12 V10            1'04"20  (AS: 1'04"29)
K. Wendlinger, Sauber-Ilmor C12 V10         1'04"48
M. Schumacher, Benetton-Ford B192 V8        1'04"49  (AS: 1'05"14)

J. Herbert, Lotus-Ford 107 V8               1'05"19  (AS: 1'05"74)
D. Warwick, Footwork-Mugen FA13 V10         1'05"32
A. Suzuki, Footwork-Mugen FA13 V10          1'05"38  (AS: 1'05"88)
A. Zanardi, Benetton-Ford B192 V8           1'05"40  (AS: 1'06"11)
R. Patrese, Benetton-Ford B192 V8           1'05"64  (AS: 1'06"10)
P. Belmondo, Larrousse-Lambo LC92 V12       1'05"70  (AS: 1'06"20)
R. Barrichello, Jordan-Hart 192 V10         1'06"30

They also show two pictures of the Ferrari F93A which they call a
red Benetton.  While this is true to some extent, I'd say that the
nose looks more conventional (and less ugly, IMHO).  They also
mention that the car was internally called a 644bis.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be in North America this year from April to October (approx)
to have a holiday/do some work.  My girlfriend is working in Vancouver
and I will be meeting up with her there.

Anyway, while I'm in Canada/USA, I thought I would go and see some motor
racing.  This is what I would like to see (if I had lots of money) :

     * Canadian GP
     * Indycars in Vancouver
     * Another Indycar race fairly close to Vancouver
       (Portland, Laguna Seca, Mid Ohio, or is my geography wrong ?)
     * A NASCAR race
     * Pikes Peak (I know very little about this)
     * Interesting club racing/rallying

Does anyone have any information about these events, such as ticket prices,
where to buy tickets, good places to get a seat, cheap places to stay (e.g.
youth hostels, backpackers, train stations, etc.), etc. ?  If anyone could
send me any infomation, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks muchly in advance,

Doigman.

Hi,
This is a post in regard to Steve Scott's query to get the racers out in
the open and to share racing stories.  I have been racing since Sept. '91.
I race in Solo autocrosses with SCCA and I race in hillclimbs with KSCC
(Kilington Spots Car club).

I race a 1986 Honda Civic SI, 5 spd, fuel injection.

Drive train mods:
intake & exhaust manifolds ports match to head
Ram air intake system
indexed spark plugs
power plus synthetic racing oil (Phil says, "The best!")
open exhaust
Trans, rebuilt to closer tolerance, has 4.40 final drive and fill
trans. with 2/3 of oil capacity with power plus gear oil.

Body mods:
Front end aerodynamically clean.  Using clear tape to cover all seams except
air & radiator intake.
car is virtually stripped except for driver and passenger seats.
car weight stock = 2071, now = 1839.
bolted in roll cage and 5 point seat belts.

Brake & suspension mods:
adjusted rear brakes as close as possible for brake balance
front end alignment has slight tow out.

Car history:
Owner: Phil Cardoza, PCC Racing
1988 SCCA Showroom Stock Nat'l winner
1990 North Atlantic Road Racing Champion and 
     New England Road Racing Champion runnerup.
1991 NARRC & NERRC runnerup
1992 2nd in class: Mt. Washington Hillclimb
1992 New England Hillclimb Class Champion	
   
The above are Phil's achievements.  Since I am relatively new to the sport I
am still on the learning curve (which is important, it is good to stay on the
curve, especially on the hillclimbs :-)  ).  I came in 4th in my 1st hillclimb
and I attributed my prowess to forever being late for classes &/or work and that
honing those hasty driving skills had now become a skill I could use for racing.
I do OK in the autocrosses but not nearly as well as other drivers. But that's 
OK,  I have alot of fun, I get better each time and next season I hope to use 
the solo events to get ready for the hillclimbs.  I also hope to do ice trials
this winter (if weather permits).  It will be the classic frictionless plane and
I will be able to get the car sideways, and really start to feel some of the
forces that go along with racing...hopefully, to make me that much better for
next season.  So once racing comes back online I will post some of the stories.
I also work in the pits on occasion and will share from there as well.  Phil
does not have access to the net, but I do printout some of the postings for him.

I don't blame him for leaving.  He shouldn't have to put up with being called
Leo Ress when his name is Steve Nicholl.  If Peter Sauber can't even remember
the names of his top employees, he doesn't deserve to have them on the team.

Anyone have the scoop on McLaren's engine situation.  I see from the posted
times that they are still using the Honda engine.

Thanks

   I really wish you had not used the word "impact" in the header of
this posting.  My first reaction was that Mansell had impacted into a
wall! :-)

   It's like when I was writing software for an air traffic control
system.  Whenever the system would completely fail, we could not say
that the system had "crashed" because that word would push all the
FAAers panic buttons.
