Just a note on some problems noticed at Mosport Park Labour Day weekend. 
Saw the new Neons being raced and one had its left front wheel and hub
break off during the race.  When I talked to the driver/owner, he said
that this is quite common.  Said he needed to replace the front hubs every
three to five races.  And very little factory support... even had to pay
for the Neon stickers on the car.
I won't be racing these soon ;)
