Let me see if I have this straight:  Two 55 lap races ending around dusk with separate quallys but no Top Ten Shootouts.

Five bonus points for the fastest laps?  I am guessing not.

they have changed the rules so often I have no idea Mike.

had my surgery this week so I'll prob actually sit around and watch this one in full while I can't do anything else.

I think S2/3 is on as well but no idea what other supports

Try not to yell at the TV too much, Sonic. 

Remember years back they were actually talking about expanding the track?  I guess those ambitions are long gone.  I like this little track, though.  The only quirk over the years was that odd exit kerb on the outside of the last corner that everyone hopped and periodically someone would get penalised for it.

So great is my interest with supercars at the moment that I'll be watching the Magic Round Rugby League all weekend.

Last year produced that dinky-di battle between SVG and Brodie.
The tyre wear usually makes for good racing.

I still do all the background stuff every day.  :)

Last time Walkinshaw cars were on the front row they took each other out. Let's see if this goes any better.

Wait... surely not 2014 at Winton... is that really the last time they were 1-2 on the gird?

2014 Townsville. To be fair, I think someone else got into the back of one of the HRT cars, which then ran into the other HRT car.

Not sure if Brown would've gotten to Mostert anyway, but Wood certainly made it much easier.
He's certainly impressive when he is out of the mid-pack shenanigans. Super aggressive too.

Agree. I am eating my words on Wood. He was super strong today and made the passes for Brown and Waters much tougher than they should
Have been.

Good on him.

Sonic

what I saw on my very interrupted net seemed like it was a good race today.

nothing mega to write home about but it filled in my day nicely.

7 out of top 10 in final race were Mustangs... see what they can do when they don't take each other out?

actually... 7/10... time for a parity review? ;) :P LOL!!!

Including the last 7 poles.
With the variety of tracks we've been on since the correct injector indexation, it's been veeeeerry close. High horsepower (AGP) and high tyre wear (Taupo and Barbagallo).

Even when the transient dyno comes in, I don't think there's much in it.
