Sixth in Qualifying was a very good start to the car's racing carer, but Val Hillebrand experienced a nasty fuel fire during the warm up. He felt 'warmth' and looked down to find his leg on fire!<BR> <BR> He rushed into the pit-lane (and was rightly excused a speeding penalty) for attention and the fire was put out, but the fuel cell leak couldn't be fixed in time for the race. <BR> <BR> The other Dome at least managed a finish after several dramas - following several others in testing and qualifying. John Nielsen drove one race stint in considerable pain (after his qualifying shunt), the clutch played up, he and Katoh had a spin...but they did finish sixth.<BR> <BR> The series needs these two cars running reliably. It shouldn't take long. </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
