I think it sounded like a bit of a witch hunt and they aren't the only team doing it.

I would expect DJR have some payback to give someone.

General Discussion / Re: Controversy of the week (o...
Last post by Sonic - Yesterday at 06:34:14 PM
I would be one who calls himself a 'man of the peace'... but I also understand that sometimes the opposition to peace needs to be dealt with and I am grateful to those who have the, I'll call it ability, to do that.

Consider for a moment the attacked folk (whoever they may be). Obviously they would hate the attacker, they have caused them pain. But if those who can help find the way to peace stand back and say 'you're on your own' then the attacked will now have 2 groups to hate because the 'good folk' did nothing.

It must be one of the toughest roads to walk and I will always be grateful to have not seen conflict first hand.

Quote from: stevo qld on May 10, 2025, 10:20:01 PMI am heartedly sick of the media telling us of some local skirmish or civil war.

Too often the government of Australia finds a reason for Australians to die in these foreign skirmishes. e.g., The Malaysian Crisis, The Korean Police action. The Vietnam civil war, the Afghanistan civil war etc. etc. and a heap more etc.

Some of these have been going on for all of my long life and beyond.

Let's look at India and Pakistan skirmishes. "They shot first", " "no they shot first", since at least 1947.

How about they get fair dinkum and bomb the **** out of each other and get a resolution.

Maybe a few million less humans would alleviate the famine crisis.

Well sometimes defending the citizens of another country, or sending troops as a peace keeping force, or providing aid - is just "the right thing to do". Ignoring invasions of countries does nothing to deter that happening elsewhere.  We might feel safe due to geographic isolation but there's still a benefit to everyone to reduce conflict.

Dunlop Super2 Series / Re: 2025 Super 2
Last post by skaifeman - Yesterday at 01:14:41 PM
Fairly open season of Super2 this year. Tickford's Rylan Gray seems to be most consistent, however the wins are completely spread with 4 winners from 4 races.
Nash Morris took his first win in Tassie, and Mason Kelly was on the podium too.

The #1 doesn't fair to well in Super2, last year Allen seemed to lose with one hand on the trophy, and Zach Bates is about 100pts away from the lead at the moment. Plenty to play out.

LG - What's your take on the DJR skid block saga?
https://speedcafe.com/supercars-news-dick-johnson-racing-disqualified-skid-blocks-photos-details/

This article above doesn't allege of machining, as per the previous articles re the side skirts - but I take that it's formed part of why they were DSQ'd?
That they were more than just sanded with 180 grit on a block?
