POLE DAY, MAY 15, 2004

RICE: "... The Honda has been the engine to have all year and we knew we had enough to go for the pole ... It's unbelievable sitting here with all the changes that we made.

MAY 13, 2004

CASTRONEVES, QUICKEST: "... It's nice to be at the top of the list, but you have to be realistic about this race ... I wasn't happy yesterday because I wanted to run alone, but there were too many cars on the track to do that."

MAY 12, 2004

KANNAN, QUICKEST: ".... I've got a good car in my hands. But I also got a good draft on that fast lap, so I don't want anybody to be fooled. I'm just happy because I'm starting to like the way the Team 7-Eleven car feels. But, today is not the important day. I can love my car today and hate it tomorrow. That is what this place can do to you. We'll get back to it tomorrow, be patient and just think about what changes we want to make as we get closer to Saturday"

MAY 11, 2004

MATSUURA, QUICKEST: ".... It was a great day. It is not qualifying; it is a test day, but it was a good day. Our car was very good and the Honda engine as well, and the team did a very good job. Adrian and I, both our cars were very quick and very strong which is good. We will see for this Saturday. It depends on the weather and how conditions change but it is the same for everyone. We need some luck for the qualifying, but I am very confident."

MAY 9, 2004 - OPENING PRACTICE DAY

DIXON, QUICKEST: : "... Today we were just getting both cars up to speed. We didn't really do much with the T car. We trimmed it out a little, put a new set of tires on it, and I think that's where we got the time. It was pretty windy, but I think we were quite surprised at how much grip the car had in the end considering the last time we were here"
