Plenty of enthusiasm within the Tuff'E'Nuff camp. The boat is on song and Clark is in good form. If the 21 year veteran finds the clean water up front he'll be hard to beat. Racing for his mates trophy will give David extra incentive to win.Check Haych's low-down on the SHOWDOWN! |

The Borg's are very eager to let their animal out of the cage. The new boat looked very good on the water when at high speed so expect this South Aussie to be mixing it with the best. Check Haych's low-down on the SHOWDOWN! |

Recent upgrade to a Sprint Car engine will see some added pace. Engine owner John Loveday from Loveday Transport is exploring the use of Nitrous for some extra acceleration. Jeff will be keeping the B.A.D boys honest. Check Haych's low-down on the SHOWDOWN! |
