Daniel,
Can you upload photos of the karts and the engines? I'm particularly interested in any new changes to the engines, the chassis, or the components. For instance, I hear there's a new radiator; photos?
Any special news on tires for the event?
Thanks!!

| Most everyone is here now, Most of us that got here today spent at least 30 hrs in planes and airports today thanks to a few delays. Most of us took the Team USA bus from Brindisi airport to our hotel. Heading out to diner at 7:30, then to the track tomorrow for rental karts. We get our race karts on tuesday then hit the track for official practice Wed. morn. |

This is the strongest team the US has ever presented to the Grand Finals and everyone is pumped up and ready for the competition to begin.
Daily reports will begin today with the kart draw. you can find the daily reports at www.rotaxmaxchallenge.com
