CART: Walker Racing Practice Notes, Homestead

20 March 1999

GIL de FERRAN (#5 Valvoline/Cummins/Walker Racing Honda) 10th fastest today:

"The car isnt very consistent today. Its okay one lap then the next lap has a push (understeer). Its a very different car and track from Spring Training. You have the Trucks, its hotter, and theres a bit of wind as well. It was a bit of a shock to the system this morning, but its getting better now."

NAOKI HATTORI (#15 Alpine/Walker Racing Honda) 20th fastest today: "We need to make the car better in traffic, that is the main thing. But this will be my first race in Champ Cars, and I can learn many things. Thats what Im here for to learn."
