[RaceTime]

Youi won;t find anything ralistic until about a week before the event and, even then, the only time it will be correct is an hour after qualifying has taken place!

TBA is getting quite a few drives this year - buggered if I know how he is going to drive both the 1, 2, 17 and 18 cars

[Flaggie]

And for that matter how Steve Owen's driving car 14 and car 600....

[Woody]

Yeah exactly I thought cross entering cars was banned ten years ago LOL!!!!

[RaceTime]

No you can still cross enter but the final driver line up has to be nominated - not sure if it is just before or just after qualifying.

[Seton_5]

From Memory the Line Up has the be finalised by 12.30 before Race Day.

[RaceTime]

Just before qualifying - sounds about right.

[The Tool Man]

I think Steve Owen was to Drive the 14 car with Dean Croswell.
However I believe he would be better off in the 600 car with Brede.

Is Crosswell still in the 14 car ??

[sevi]

Before qualifing, I know that because I am the person there that gets the driver lineups.
Croswell is not in the 14 car, never was. (watch him turn up there now) Briggs will have to buy Owen from Imrie if he is to race in the 600 car.

[Crash Test]

Tony Quinn driving in Matt White's car?

Jones and Bowe split up? No third BJR entry?

Perkins/Dumbrell hey?

Who IS racing at TKR?

Who WANTS to race with Romano?

Bargs and Tander split up? Hrmmm... I don't know the truth, but my gut tells me Bargs is on the outer...

Who's at Brock and IRC?

Certainly is a quality field though

[sevi]

The deal with Tony Quinn has been going for about the last 4-5 weeks, rumour had it at one stage that Coulthard could be in the car, I was told 2 weeks ago who was in now, but can't remember, sorry.
Noske should be with Baird at the 500.
Isn't Steve Owen a clever boy, able to be in two cars at once.
When was this posted on Avesco's site, as of Friday even though entries had closed there was no list finalised, even though it was meant to be finalised last Monday.

[The Tool Man]

I was told today that Grant Denyer would join Tony Quinn BUT I dont Think hes licence has the right credentials.

[Crash Test]

Surely Grant would have enough signatures by now? I thought he would have had a C4 (?) to race in the BRutes? Even to upgrade to an international license, he has done 2 seasons of racing at a National level...

[sevi]

There is nothing wrong with Grant licence.

[PEPSI]

I would have thought Grant would be unable to do the race because of his contract with Channel Blue/Yellow

:confused:

[Crash Test]

Well he has only been with blue yellow for the last couple of races because Barry couldn't make it- he was supposed to just be reading the news this year. I'd say that they could just plug Daryl Beattie in, or failing that, I'll be walking around pit lane with a microphone

So what is Matt White doing? The V8 driver, not the talking head

Grant has been to most if not all of the races this season to do stuff for RPM and I believe he is contracted to do pitlane reports at the enduro's plus he is fronting the new 'V8X' lifestyle show that they started taping for at Winton and will be continuing to do so at each of the remaining races apparently.

As for Matthew White, he is contracted to Briggs for the enduro's and is shown as pairing with Longhurst. (CT - I know you are going to bang your forehead and think 'I knew that' )

[Crash Test]

Yeah, I can't read!

It is a collaboration between the V8X magazine and H² Productions aimed at focusing more on the personalities of the drivers, their life away from the track and behind the scenes action at the races. Channel Blue/Yellow have picked up about 26 episodes to be shown on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm(?) with Grant and a girl who I dont know (nothing strange about that ) fronting it.

Oh sweet merciful Jesus please not Ally Drower yet again !

[Seton_5]

From my Memory, Mathew White's Team/Car doesn't have an entry since he didn't finsh in the top 4 of the Konicas. So how come he's got an Entry. Something to do with Tony Quin Sponsoering the Event?

This New V8x Show sounds good. but i think that its going tobe Ally Drower shes with SBS's Speedweek. Ally Drower was such a good reporter how come Ten got rid of her?

[PEPSI]

Never fear Bucky, it isn't Ally 'yes Rick yes' Drower!

[Buckshot]

Good...can't stand that scraggy old thing. I hated her on Mtv 15 years ago when she thought she was cool and I hate her even more now !
