UPDATE: The Ford teams get a rare chance to test in December as NASCAR has allowed them a chance to test the new Taurus at Talladega on Dec 16-18th, this test will not count toward the 7 tests WC teams are allowed to do during the season(WC Today)(12-3-97), sorry I have no times or news about the test yet(12-16-97)- MRN Today reports that Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Rusty Wallace, Dale Jarrett, Lake Speed and Michael Waltrip are testing at Talladega. They are trying out a lower front end and the angle of the windshield. No times will be released until after the test which ends Thursday. I hear that Lake Speed in the #9 Wacky Ford Taurus has been consistently been the best with aero and test speeds(at Talladega and Daytona).(12-17-97). Testing ended today with no speed reported, 17 Ford WC drivers tested the Taurus(NASCAR Online)(12-18-97)
