The Toyota body is undergoing some minor repairs around the header cutout after the late night session on Tuesday. A fuel delivery gremlin in the car seems to be limiting the chances for testing with the Toyota body and may bring up doubts whether it will make its debut in Indy after all.

FROM YESTERDAY'S INDY TEST NOTES - The big news at the first day of the pre US Nationals test at O'Reilly Raceway Park was the debut of the new Toyota Solara body on Scott Kalitta's Funny Car. The shell was so new that Murf McKinney was still finalizing some of the body mounting at the track early in the afternoon. As was the previous Toyota effort, the Celica initially campaigned by Alan Johnson, the new body is radically different to those run by the opposition. This time around the body has a much sharper transition from the horizontal to vertical surfaces although it retains the laid forward rear face of the body under the rear spoiler. The front end is extremely swoopy compared with the current domestic offerings from the "big three". When Scott Kalitta went to the line for the car's first run during the final round of runs Johnson was very much in evidence ont he line with the Kalitta team as once again he is the prime mover behind the project. Scott smoked the tires early but look for more from thi!
s car in the near future. - Keith Burgin
