With Tracy's switch to SSC what happens too the SKUSA team? Will they be switching to SSC also?

As far as I know, the Paul Tracy team (and I sure if I am wrong Pappas will correct me) has always tested and run competitive equipment.

Chances are, they will test the new chassis and if they are unhappy with them, they will be updated until they are competitive. I doubt they will have a problem... but if they aren't.. they will run another type of kart. It is a race team, first and foremost, that is why they are having an outside distribution company handle the marketing and sales, such as SSC.

The change has not affected the integrity of the race team. The only difference is that we will run Tracy Karts built by CRG.

OK, Tracy will move on. What about Marc Z. will he form PMT team?

I doubt it;he is not in to the shifter stuff and does not build shifter engines. Well atleast not that i know of.

I hear that Mark Z. is setting up a new top notch team with International top drivers (some of them). Rumor is also that his latest cr125 motor flyyyyyyyyys. Hear that a well known F1 driver will be supporting the team.

Again, this is what I have heared, can not confirm it.

I live in M.Z.'s area, and I have yet to hear of any 125 motor that he puts out, let alone one the "flyyyys", as you put it Guido. Several good engine builders in this area that come to mind, and he is not one of them. Not saying that he doesn't build 'em. Just that his name doesn't pop up around here. Atleast when the discussion is concerning shifter motors!
