actually i still don't believe all this blurb about the support categories getting more air time... as i recall 10 always had them on, just not on race weekend.. the one thing that 10 blitzed all over 7 is that it had continuity of screening time... you could tune in to 10 at 2pm any sunday afternoon and know you had the car racing on... it was a set time and it worked because the viewer knew what to expect and when to expect it... now with 7 it could be on at any time and they screw around with everything because it just isn't important to them to have the v8's...

Ok. Who has actually read the article? I have and no where does it say that Jason hates him. He did make a comment on the "overtaking" that SVG and JC did on everyone on the outlap at Townsville. He said that "He and Courtney made idiot out of themselves" in regards to breaking the gentlemens agreement. Many others have spoken out about this. And according the article, Jason called him "cocky". The commentators have said the same too. So it was quoted that " there are plenty of drivers who have him in their sights because they either owe him one or just don't like him". I don't see anywhere Jason saying he hates him or is going to punt him off.
As per usual, many jump on the band wagon just to show their hatred for Holden and their drivers without knowing the facts or even reading the article. Plus don't forget that it did appear in the daily telegraph and written by James phelps. Was any of this actually said and he used a bit of poetic licence to make a story a bit more juicy.

The range of people who attend those 'soup vans' is absolutely astonishing. It would be exceptionally hard for the Government to seperate its support into the different sectors of the homeless. Ie: Substance abusers, financially inept, mentally ill, broken families.

Luckily for my Aunty, she has a supportive family that has made sure that both of her daughters haven't ended up on the street. For those who don't have that kind of support, where else is there to go?

People are too quick to judge and generalise. It would be like looking at an overweight person and thinking "your fat because you eat too much". That is much like looking at the homeless in the sense of "Your just a drug ****ed idiot".

It's not right. Jobs are important to this sector. I have had my random outings to try and experience others lives. I spent time with a mentally ill person, he showed me where he worked at the nursery looking after pot plants and what not, then we went to church where the community were able to support his incapacity to be involved in 'normal' life and give him the social interaction that someone who lives on their own with a mental illness needs. You can't just put these 'people' into a home and think that the job is done and walk away. They need more than just a home.

Yet this person who I spent a morning with, didn't blame anyone or anything. He liked his footy just like any Australian and had a sense of humour to some extent. It was a one way conversation as he struggled to understand how to converse, but still a listening ear meant the world to him for some reason.

It is hard to form an accurate plan to take action too though.

That better be sarcastic.
Sure they have all won a Bathurst or two, but T. Kelly and especially R. Kelly have been way more consistent throughout not only the last year, but also the last 5 years, infact you could probably push it to 6 or 7 years.

But, I guess if that's your opinion, then it's up to you.



No its dead serious. Did you not notice Barg's form at Bathurst last year in a Tasman prepared car. Tha same Tasman prepared car which was blamed for the very poor form of Murphy by so many on here. He will be ahead of the Kelly's come 3pm on Sunday at Bathurst, no doubt. If the Kelly's are so great why is it taking them so long to get up to speed with a substantial budget. Overrated springs to my mind.


Did you see the form of the Kelly's car last year? It was in second until the rear wing was lodged sideways, therefore cutting their down force down Conrod and losing speed.
Pretty good for a 1st year team.

BTW, I don't think they have such a substantial budget as you seem to think.




That car was also very fast in a straight line without all the drag from the rear wing]]> Silly season already argus@v8central.com (argus) http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=32590&REPLY_ID=572893 V8Supercar Series Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:02:19 +1000 http://www.v8central.com/snitz3403/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=32590&REPLY_ID=572893 Quote:

I think this is the rule: Section A 5.7 VCS Entry Criteria:

5.7.2: A primary driver is not permitted to compete under more than one (1) REC in the same calander year unless approved by V8 Supercars.

That was here: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/AboutV8Supercars/TechTalk/RulesandRegulations/V8SupercarOperationsManual/tabid/174/Default.aspx

Then go to Updated Division "A" Administration rules.

So CL has to stay in 888 and Will D in 22 etc.

as much as it is next to the black stump it's still a trip to do... amazing watching the cars (in any series) flying through some of those corners at warp speed..

and i think the 12 hour guys really make it even more special because of it being a lot more closely based to what we drive rather than the v8sc series where the road car is a distant memory..

I've been to some of the world's most famous circuits, Le Mans and Monaco amongst them. I find it hard to remember hearing anything better then a Lamborghini V10 coming into the Chase at Bathurst.

If he doesn't get a full time gig. He will be the most popular road ringer for teams on the edge of the top 35. He will make a packet either way and will probobly win more Nascar races in future. Be it Nationwide or Sprint cup.

It has been a rollecoaster ride following him over there. My favourite race was last year at Bristol when he drove through the field and finished third [:D]. Least favourite Sonoma this year [:(]

Good Luck to him whatever it is he chooses to do. Although I would like to see him back in V8SC so I can watch him race at a reasonable time of day.

Nascar now video with ESPN: http://espn.go.com/video/category?id=2492290

I suppose this also poses the question of who will replace Marcos in #47. I will now always have a soft spot for JTGD after them giving Marcos a shot.

Perhaps Bobby Labonte....

I agree with you there the drivers that make up the series are all important to the varying success or failure of the series.
