[V8SC08R02]Who will win at Eastern Creek? - Page 6

Sweet Corn · 9 Mar 2008, 22:57 (Ref:2147851)

Congratulations Will Davison on a great victory for DJR Steve the Meister driver obviously had a lot of other things on his mind wait until the next round a DJR double podium coming up.
Have I missed something The managers of the category implore the drivers to be controversial yet when Russell Ingall and Paul Morris and any other driver make outspoken remarks in an attempt to be controversial quite a few of my fellow ten tenthers slag them for doing it.
I think that the sport needs more verbal slanging because it is hard to be agressive on the track especially with Tomas looking on

I think Tomas has shown that the drivers might be getting a fair bit of leniency this year...

For him to then get all high and mighty about driving standards and threaten consequences to someone who was dropkicked into him is the embodiment of class.

i just seen the tail end of it from the grandstand but watched the replay's on the big screen it was a blatent drill in the rear quarter, typical Morris. although the shaking hands gesture after the final race was good.

I guess anything goes these days...

i thought Ingall seen the gap went for it Tander shut the door, it looked like Ingall did everything he could to avoid it not the lock up and hoe high he was on the ripple strip, good decision by Tomas.

i also thought the Mini's had some good racing nad will only get better.

and the new VE Utes sound ballsy as awesome certainly sound way betterthen the VZ and BF.

Congrats to DJR for their first round win since '01!

Also, that Ingall/Tander move was kosher to me. Who cars if it was a bump and run, Tander didn't go off the track, and there was no real big contact, nothing broke, so, it's all good, imo.

davester · 10 Mar 2008, 04:00 (Ref:2147971)

Did anyone else notice that Steve Richards car did not appear to brake when ploughing through the sand trap?

The "bump and run" is almost a move that Garth and Craig could patent by now.

Pro Racer · 10 Mar 2008, 04:11 (Ref:2147980)

watching the replay's of the Richo incident on the big screen a ring of black smoke seemed to come from the hub then the tyre went flat and the thing just maintained it's speed straight ahead into the wall seems he lost steering aswell.

I noticed that throughout the weekends racing but it is BOTH the FPR cars that showed excessive brake dust on the FR.

Other points, I think Morris went wide and then turned in on Courtney.
And davester, "bump and run" is already a patented move, Skaife, 10 years ago

Sheep Stations · 10 Mar 2008, 05:50 (Ref:2148000)

Agree with you Ford71, Morris outbraked himself and moved onto Courtney's line, causing the crash.
Courtney took an early gamble going wide at turn 2 with Coulthard in tow and would not have expected anyone going the inside line to move out on him mid-corner.

Tomas Mezera can only provide his professional opinion as a DSO to the stewards. If there is 'leniency' it doesn't come from him. He's on the record as wanting the racing to be exciting with lots of passing, but that hardly means he's endorsing a free-for-all smash up derby...and we did see some great 'clean' pass moves at Eastern Creek.

Word is that Mezera sorted Morris out post-race and had him back-tracking at a 100mph after Morris' errors were pointed out leading up to taking Courtney out...but Stewards didn't back it up with a charge.

Another case of money talks...

Yea. I mentioned earlier it reminded me of The Rat hitting the wall at Bathurst, the way it went in hard hit and bounced back only difference is Rat may have had more speed and it ended up on its lid.

Cheers for that. Leopards don't change their spots hey?

Now on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp0_E013HOc

Tyre does go flat, but car just doesnt want to turn.

Pro Racer · 10 Mar 2008, 10:16 (Ref:2148166)

well atleast the big screen told me the full story, i couldn't belive how it just went straight, whatever it was it managed to pop the tyre and seemed to break the steering, will be interesting to find out, maybe an email to FPR.

No no no, the 'bump and run' was patented MANY years ago, when Bristol Motor Speedway opened up. :P

Beages · 11 Mar 2008, 05:10 (Ref:2148882)
