The fur is flying at the HLR tracks...

For immediate release:

Seattle, WA  November  11, 2008 - SDL team members have been hampered in their recent attempts to attain the top spots in the GMWC's Hot Lap Rankings by severe allergic reactions resulting in watery eyes, sneezing, and in some cases, severe hives.

"It's terrible" said team member Matt Lewis. "You get maybe one good lap in and then your eyes tear up and the track just disappears from view." "The stuff in the air is so bad at GP-200 that Dennis hasn't been able to complete a single timed lap! The event promoters really need to get a handle on this situation ASAP."

When asked for a comment, team owner Dennis Loyer replied "Yeah, who knew most of our team would be so allergic to monkey fur? Maybe it's shedding season or something. All I know is the Rusyn drivers need a good brushing before going out on the track.  Even if you're not allergic, all that loose fur gums up your intake something fierce. But hey,at least we're holding on to the top spots in the TC, DC and Rolling Rankings"

GMWC officials made no comment, other than to say they were looking into the complaints made against the Rusyn drivers by the SDL team management
