Top speeds for the opening day of practice never managed to reach the 220mph mark but it was 2003 IndyCar Series champ Scott Dixon who came awfully close in the #1 Team Target Panoz G Force/Toyota, taking the top slot with his penultimate (of 22 total laps) tour of the oval at 40.9537 seconds (219.760mph).

Anyone else hear what Bob McMurray said during the F1 coverage on sunday nite? about hwo he reckons this will be Dixons last race in F1 before he goes fulltime testing for one of the other teams (he mentioned Jordan) as part of williams plans for him for next year so that he learns a few of the tracks? definately an interesting theory if nothing else

i thought that was the first preliminary qualifying. they must have some more to do cause the race is in like 10 days. who qualifies for a sealed road race 2 weeks before a motor race ? eh...

i think the final grid positions are still to come. and budy rice is on pole at the mo, but i think he got a good draft of someone else.

Matty · 21st May 2004, 10:41 PM

I just gotta say it: A guy named Rice driving a Honda? What are the odds?

STR8LN · 21st May 2004, 10:43 PM
