(With both qualifying and racing taking place on Saturday, racers will have an open practice on Friday.) Being able to run on Friday really helps, ... It gives us time to make sure everything is in perfect running order and assures that when the Green Flag flies, we will be ready to go.
- Scott LynchTo score a Top-3 result will not be so easy. I`m skiing better on soft snow now than in the past, but other racers do it better than me.
- Hermann MaierWe`re still racers. It`s fun, but you want to win.
- Stanton BarrettEspecially for snowboard cross, endurance is huge. All of us are strong athletes. Ski racers, in the downhill, do one run a day. We did six today, plus warm-up runs. Those are minute-30 (second) runs, so you need a lot of endurance to pull that off.
- Andy RooneyAll of us were the best racers of the day, I don`t feel sad at all. We learn by other races that you never know until you finish. One day it happens to me, the other day it can happen to Lindsey. This is the game.
- Ann McBrideTwo big shows with Grand-Am, the inaugural A1GP event, the return of Champ Car to Road America these are all tremendous venues for our young racers to show what they`ve got, in front of both savvy race fans and professional team owners and managers.
