Tony Vanillo on the record for CORR Tech changes
Tony Vanillo, the competition director for CORR, said, "We'll have 30 Pro 2 trucks, 30 Pro Lites and upwards of 60 Super Buggies at the races!" Tony also talked about some of the technical aspects of this years racing. "Friday will be a much bigger race day of the race weelkends for CORR". "Qualifying will take up much of what started as a practice day". More classes may have more than one qualifying heat, simply because of the increasing numbers of racers in each class.
Tony went on to say, Super Buggies sequential tansmissions and the question of Pro 2 and Pro 4 fuel injection systems have been sorted out. Super Buggies transmissions will be scrutinized more this year. Tony clearly pointed out that some of these transmissions would not be allowed.
Four Pro 4 teams would be allowed to run fuel injection systems. All other teams would not be allowed to run fuel injection. In 2009, all fuel injection systems would be outlawed in the CORR series.
