One could have a fairly educated guess here as to this identity...

Bound to be one of those dopey Qldrs!! ;)

Most of those "dopey" Qeensland resident Supercar drivers were formerly smart Southerners who moved North as soon as they could afford it. ;D 8)

Will help at Bathurst but I'm not sure it will make much impact to the SMP crowds - it was well, well below the 10k limit last weekend.

they picked up on it maybe being suss when the letter presented said "Davey doesn't need the jab. Signed, Davey's mum."

Who said he was to sick to get vaccinated? Some people can't get the flu vaccine yet can still live life.

Haven't seen a name anywhere, but if someone has a legal exemption in one state it should be legal in all states. Pretty sad that they resort to leaking a drama story like this to publicise the so called number one category in the country.

"An invalid medical exemption"
Sonic might be on to something...  ;D



The Supercars driver at the centre of a COVID-19 vaccination probe is Australian David Reynolds, according to motorsport.com.

The website broke the news this week that a driver was being investigated by NSW Health, amid allegations a vaccine exemption he had used to cross from Victoria to NSW was invalid.

The investigation is in progress despite Supercars insisting that all of its drivers are compliant with COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

Double vaccination or a valid medical exemption is a requirement of entry to NSW from Victoria, as well as to large venues such as Sydney Motorsport Park.

"NSW Health is providing advice to Supercars to ensure that all participants meet the vaccination requirements and the events proceed in a COVID-safe manner," a NSW Health spokesperson said in a statement supplied to Wide World of Sports.

QuoteDavid Reynolds will miss the remaining Repco Supercars Championship events at Sydney Motorsport park, Kelly Grove Racing has confirmed.

https://www.speedcafe.com/2021/11/04/reynolds-to-miss-remaining-smp-events/

QuoteIn accordance with NSW Health Orders, in order to attend and compete at last weekend's Bunnings Trade Sydney Super Night and the next three rounds of the Championship at Sydney Motorsport Park, all Supercars attendees and drivers must either be fully vaccinated with accepted COVID-19 vaccines or be exempt from vaccination.

"It is on this basis that the venue has an exemption to host up to 10,000 people per day. In the last week, NSW health authorities, working closely with Supercars, Kelly Grove Racing and David Reynolds have carefully considered a vaccination exemption presented by David and have concluded that David is not exempt from receiving the vaccine.

"With NSW health authorities having reached this conclusion, David has had his first vaccine shot administered and has scheduled his second vaccine shot. While waiting for his second vaccine shot, however, David is not able to compete at the three upcoming Sydney Motorsport Park rounds of the 2021 Supercars Championship.

"Once fully vaccinated, as scheduled, David could be eligible to drive in the Repco Bathurst 1000. David says that he is bitterly disappointed to be missing the next three races at Sydney Motorsport Park, but respects the decision and is happy to continue to comply with health orders."

What he did just doesn't make sense.

It'd be a conundrum for Grove/Kelly if their substitute puts in great performances.    :D
