Dry races suck. They are so predictable. Wet races- anything and everything usually goes wrong. Wet tracks often test the drivers and provides entertainment as well. We don't want to see Ambrose in the lead the whole time ... so boring

Yeah, but as a Schumacher fan Cape, do you feel he was screwed over by the rain today?
Heh, I'd like to see him get pole on a completely dry track tomorrow, around a 1 minute lap would be good to see.

See the post in the f1 thread about me crying

Ambrose won't have pole tomorrow. tomorrows John Bowe will be on pole. The grid is in order of finishing positions of the race.

 

[nit]

what was the order in today's race? Nice to see JB winning after such a long time.

JB winning for the first time since 1999 (i think). Maybe the tide might be changing this season. Ford teams are looking very very strong, and HRT ... well Skaife look to be back, unforuntely. Can't wait til Adelaide.

 

[Cape]

HRT and that other holden team (can't remember the name now) look almost identical, but theres a difference in sponsorship on the front bumper.

I keep seeing the CAT ford and thinking its Lowndes ... not good.

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

Go Skaife and HRT!!!!

 

[braad]

Lowndes is back!

 

[Cape]

*cough* Skaife - only won the third race by luck! And he actually supports Ambrose going to the states - maybe skaife should follow ambrose

It was a really good race weekend for Lowndes - moved up 20 something places yesterday - and finished 4th today. Looking good this season.

Argonaut - HRT have Todd Kelly not Rick kelly

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

Todd Kellys the younger one?

The one who won Bathurst?

 

[Cape]

Ricks the younger one, who won Bathurst twice with Murphy. Rick is the one who speaks like a girl cause his voice hasn't broken - its annoying, too high pitched, lol.

 

[Cape]

Lowndes had a few good races for ford - Phillip Island 2002 - he won the race cause he risked the pit stop incase it rained - one tyre change to wets. Also, Canberra 2001 (green eyed monster - i miss that car) he was robbed of the race cause he apparently crossed the infamous white line. Also, back to back 2nd places at Bathurst is pretty good as well.

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

And Rick Kelly is the one who commited numerous unsportsman-like offences against Ambros at Indy and then blamed everything on the Tasmanian.

Serves him right for being a Tasmanian....

 

[braad]

CLIPSAL 500 or woteva...is on this weekend!!

 

[Cape]

Woohoo!! We can see the demise of Ambrose - and the rebirth of Lowndes. But the stupid clipsal 500 has posponed my trip to the easter show

 

[braad]

u go 4 lowndes too? cool...he is the most talented driver, and i hope it rains down there GO LOWNDES!!

im biased...i know

 

[Cape]

I've met lowndes several times ... hes so nice! I've got photos taken with him as well and signed posters

 

[braad]

i've supported him since 4 ages....b4 his maiden bathurst win with murpg...no signatures 4 me

wot i get 4 supporting the touring cars n V8 supercars 4 most of their short life so far

 

[Cape]

And I'm actaully home to watch it!

ooooo ... goodie


haha.

OMG! Lowndes has qualified 4th
haha, and skaifey only JUST made it into the top 10 ... haha

 

[Cape]

5 fords and 5 holdens in the top ten. Evenly balanced

oh, i read that instead of doing the reverse order for the top 10 shootout, they are going to randomly select the cars. Hehe, it could make or break ambrose, considering he always goes out last!

 

[braad]

ere we go! ere we go!

should b a good race, i like adelaide...love those big smacks on woteva THAT corner is...seton smashed n moved it a coupla years ago didnt he?

anyways...go lowndes, and i like this whole new random shootout order, keeps everyone on their toes n no1 gets the advantage of extra 'rubber' or ne of that shit

only 59 mins till telecast, and i think hour and 59 mins till race
