driver's education?"

Steve Doocy responded, "They're only eight years old, what do you think?"

TEAM BRAY HEADS TO 41ST AUSTRALIAN NATIONALS

Team Bray heads to this weekend's Australian
Nationals at its home track of Willowbank in Queensland, after a good start in
round one of the 2006/07 championship in Sydney two weeks ago.

Willowbank with 16 Doorslammer and 14 Alcohol cars entered.

Australia’s Sean Mifsud is attempting to do
something that has not been accomplished in quite a long while. He wants to
prove the naysayers wrong by first qualifying for and then attempting to go
several rounds in the ultra-competitive Australian Top Doorslammer class. That’s
not so unusual unless you take into consideration that he wants to do it with an
Alan Johnson wedge-headed Oldsmobile combination topped with a roots blower.
