...packed grandstand. Squeezed into his driving seat, wearing a red, white and yellow jumpsuit and white helmet, Trevyn-Jay Nelson is pulling on a pair of tight black gloves. No question where he's expecting to finish: "First," he says before flicking down his gold visor. At the start signal, with a burst of engine noise, the drivers dart down to the first turn...
