V8 supercars bathurst 1000 is next weekend.... need i say more. Its going to be a great race... i hope holden takes it out again for 7 straight, preferably Stephen Richards and Dumbrell so he can close the gap to Ambrose.... CANT WAIT!!
 
I just bought a case of beer and 2 kilos of steak in preparation. Hopefully Seton will win it this year - he's codriver (Canto) is good enough so it'll depend on the cars abilities.
 
Whats everybody doing for the race? On the saturday I'll stay home and watch the practicing and qualifying, then on Sunday I'll go around to my friends house so have a BBQ and watch the race, its gonna be great!
 
im on school holidays so i'll be watching friday practice and qualifying, saturday qualifying and shootout and sunday all day in my beloved couch. Im trying to convince my dad to by that plasma tv he's always wanted!!
 
Looking forward to it, Bathurst 1000 weekends are always great.
 
Indeed. I reckon it'll be a great battle between HRT, SBR and Betta Eletrical.
I wish Bathurst was nearer to Adelaide :sly: I'd love to go again.
 
Yeah I have a feeling its Skaife's time for his car to not screw up! He's still very fast although not winning like he used to...

Next weekend will be a complete write-off work wise!! Hehe!!
 
I wonder if anyone who watches this who has work on the day this is happening. May take a sickey off work lol.
 
I 'm hoping for maybe a koala to get cleaned up in the grill of a ford and cause overheating. We need something to top the kangaroo incident the other year. :lol:

I bet this will be on Skysports over here in the UK.
actually it's on Motors TV. I had a look at my tv guide in sky and at 10:00pm next saturday, there's a build-up program.

by the way, i'm a ford fan. GO AMBROSE AND INGALL!
 
nah i would love to see a holden 1,2,3.... Richards/Dumbrell followed by Skaife/kelly then Murphy/Weel. Though i dun mind lowndesy.... but geez get him back in a HOLDEN!! anyone have any ideas when is contract with better electrical expires? i know his Ford Australia contract expires at the end of this year so we could well see him back in a holden soon!!

My poor dad has to work while its on. When I have a job I'm gonna say its somebodys birthday every year. :dopey:
 
Grrr, there's a test and tune drag day here on Sunday and the boys at work will most likely take their drag car out and I don't want to miss it!

If it rains I'll obviously stay home and watch it, if not then its the drags for me :cool:
 
With the top teams being alot closer in performance this year its going to be a great race, although Murphy has been a bit off the pace since pukekohe, I think hell be in the running here, his teams always fast here in the past. but GO LOUNDSIE!!!!!! Even tho I'm a Ford follower, I wouldnt mind seeing Skaify win it, hes been riding some terrible luck for about 2 whole years now, almost every ronud last year, he would get punted off by someone, or had mechanical problems. Although most critisised putting Loundes with Mueller for the enduro's, from the start, even though people who dont drive these cars often struggle with them, I personally felt it was a good combo, Mueller is doing very well in the BTCC (i think hes leading, I dont really know that much about BTCC), but you dont just win championships without being a reasonably good driver, he knows al to well how to drive the wheels off a car, Ive seen a few highlights of BTCC, even thorugh the cars are less powerful, to be fast in them, they really ring those cars necks. And Loundes, what has to be said, a natural, along with Skaife & T.Kelly, Tander & R.Kelly they are the best 4 combos.

It would also be great to see Seton win though, hes been so close before but never won on the mountain
 
I’ll stop my studying for the 3 days of Bathurst (did I even start to study?) … I’ve told mum that I'm taking the lounge for the weekend, so I should have a nice ass groove by the end of the race. Then Suzuka! Oh god it's a good weekend. :D

'Bathurst and Porn'

I hope Ambrose doesn't win - I can't stand that annoying sook. I realise he's one hell of a driver but his attitude should be taken out and shot. At least if he doesn't win, and he goes on to take the championship, he'll take over from Seton as the most successful driver to have never won Bathurst.
 
I despise Ambrose. I just don't like the prick. If there were any such weapons of mass destruction, I hope they are hidden in his car.

GO MURPH!!!!!!!
 
Yeah, I'm also an Ambrose-non-liker-of. Hes a fast driver, but his attitude sucks. Like that incident at Shanghai in the pits, it was clearly his fault, but he got Angry at Skaife. :grumpy:
 
Yes, hes certaintly got an attitude problem, thats why I like Loundes so much, he can have all sorts of crap happen to him, get punted off in some totally stupid move by someone, and he comes out smiling and luaghing, not even giving half a toss, in the car, hes serious, and drives hard & aggressive, out of it, he seems the nicest guy youd ever meet.
 
I'm a Holden guy but I really hope/wish Glenn Seton wins it this year, he is a great guy with a great attitude (unlike Ambrose) and deserves it the most for sure.

Otherwise I want Skaife to win followed by other Holdens.
