Another race done.  Funny how this one seemed to have a few reverse incidents from Bathurst.

Speaking of Bathurst, I see in the Courier Mail they are talking about a "Bathurst" style track for Toowoomba up here in Gods Country. (Queensland)

Anyone from here see the drag racing demonstration on Friday night? Or anyone know anybody who did see it?
What I read from those involved, it was a great success, but I'd love to hear how it was from those on the other side of the fence.

I was wondering over the week-end if you were in it.

We did the Friday drag demo twice, years and years ago and it was always well received and I did read somewhere it went well, but stuff me sideways, I just can't remember where I saw it.

I tell ya, follow it up with Wallybank and get ya name down for it.

Good fun swinging a blown small block at 8,500rpm in top gear, no traction, just rubber and smoke.  ;D

(what's a small block ;D )

Nah, I'm still waiting on a set of rods to arrive. Only been on order since August  >:(

I used to have to go to Indy, Wankernats, burnout shows etc all the time with work. It's not my scene. Too many people   :D

Glad those days of that crap's all over.

Shane.

Saw it on the news. Wished they had promoted it more. Not up for a full day of racing but we would have loved to head in for the night to watch it.

Hopefully will be on again next year

Lol, that was just a test to flush out Jamie's boy freind lmao..

Ps, ambrose is a hasbeen in v8's, he will just make up numbers maybe running 6 or 7 ish. Let's face it there is at least 5 of the current crop that would way out pace him with the current spec cars and rules. A lot changes in 10 years   My 2 cents

Maybe, but writing him off seems a big call oldmate. I'll be waiting until he's done a round or 3 before I pass judgement. It's not like he's been out of racing altogether. This is the bloke that put an AU on pole at his first ever round. I'm not expecting him to jump to the front, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did well. As with JW at Red Bull, it will be the team's performance that will make or break his results.

Can see what your saying. And yes the team will have a lot to do with it also

Same thoughts here. I expect he'll do alright. He'll get a couple of wins, but I can't see him winning a Championship again. He's shown he can throw a NASCAR around a circuit (not an oval) right from the start and they don't seem to be the easiest things to drive. So he's still got the circuit racing ability in him. I also expect DJR/Penske to be strong Team Management wise. With the experience of both of the "Old Blokes", it would be disastrous not to be.

As for Jamie and Redbull, they're cracking under pressure. Jamie gets agitated and loses focus when he's battling. I like that.  ;D

They are hardly battling coming off a round win, winning the enduro championship and Jamie is increasing his points lead and is more than a round clear of the rest.

As a Ford man and fello Taswegien I hope Ambrose does well.
With the right equipment under him I didn't see why he won't be a front runner, its just a matter of DJR/Penske being able to supply that right equipment. 888 will always be there, they have proved they can build a race car. Even with the previous cars (when they did have some slight manufacturer characteristics that were different) it didn't matter if they were building a Ford or Holden they were fast.

And my big prediction is that DJR/Penkse will put one of their existing drivers in for 12 months and will poach Whincup or Lowndes the following year when their contracts are up with 888 so once again if they can build a competitive car they will have two top line drivers. They may even go for youth and try and poach either Vangisbergan or Mcgloughlin?

Surfers can't fault his and Dumbrell's drive. Was great. They can count themselves lucky at Bathurst as others were dropping like flies. If that hadn't have happened, he would have had to pick his way through the pack for position and that's where he comes undone. Earlier in the season when things didn't go right, he wasn't up to his standard he is when he's out front.

I dont think Ambrose will be in the running for a championship next year, but the year after that could be a goer once he's settled in. I think next year it will be GRM taking it to T8 for a championship win
