How slow is too slow, and a danger on a track like Bathurst? Heck, Patto's Torana would have hosed it in that last stint!

yeah and the point being?????

I would still rather Brock out here doing those times than Murphy doing 12's and looking like an accident waiting for somewhere to happen

I have to agree that he is not as good as he was but I also think that the car is an absoult heap of **** which would have a great deal more to do with it than brock himself

So Rodney Forbes would be allowed to do 4min laps?

Rodney Forbes shouldn't be on the track even if he was capable of doing 2.05 laps

William Dale Jr · 15 Oct 2002, 11:50 (Ref:404759)

Well, if the 05/54 car is the same car Rod Nash ran last year, consider this: Tony Longhurst ran that car all last year with little success, mostly down the back or in the middle of the field. For the enduros, he was slotted into a HRT Commodore and was immediately right back up the front doing competitive times.

greg.n · 15 Oct 2002, 20:38 (Ref:405169)

Colinbond: Murf is not an accident waiting to happen. He was leading the race the year after his first win and handed over to Lowndes who stuffed it into the wall. Murf's driving is as good as anyones and a lot cleaner than some other names supported by others in this forum.

Re: whether Brock should have retired from the race - did he get in anyone's way? Answer: No. There you have it.

I thought he did alright, and showed a lot of doomsayers. He still enjoys driving, as is proved by his Safari and Targa efforts each year. Good luck to him.

Crash Test · 16 Oct 2002, 01:25 (Ref:405370)

Why bother having a 107% qualifying rule, not allowing people who do 2:25s in the race, but you're allowed to do 4min lap times?

RaceTime · 16 Oct 2002, 03:25 (Ref:405404)

Crash - are you serious? Look at the times he was doing before they had a problem - or are you suggesting that anyone who has a problem should be turfed out on their ear????????????????????????

Crash Test · 16 Oct 2002, 04:01 (Ref:405408)

Nono, just starting a discussion on wether or not a car circulating at, genuinly, 50% of race pace should be allowed to carry on the race. Would the situation be any different if it was a Ross Halliday/David Krause etc behind the wheel? Remember, it isn't what the car COULD do, it's what it actually does

[/flame-suit-on]

I don't really care either way, but there is the definate possibility of people getting upset over it...

RaceTime · 16 Oct 2002, 05:13 (Ref:405414)

People will only get upset if it gets in the way - and, from what I saw, the Brock car was NOT getting in the way otherwise it would have been pulled off the track.

mickj · 16 Oct 2002, 05:29 (Ref:405416)

Who was the quickest, Brock or Alan Jones???

I think Peter Brock did ok, Finished, crossed the line behind the winner, sold his gear, got sponsors for the team, and a lot of publicity for the race.

And I am not a Brock fan.

05forever · 16 Oct 2002, 06:29 (Ref:405431)

Weren't the 4 min laps under safety car??

I agree not too bright a comeback, but i loved it anyway

Crash Test · 16 Oct 2002, 06:46 (Ref:405437)

I'll pay that

Stupid slow arsed safety carflagged, should be black ...

I know Jason Richards contemplated nudging Brock off when he was fighting for 10th but lost a heap of time when Brock couldnt keep up with the Pace Car down the straights. I for one though was happy to see him out there and as stated, at least they did finish which is a feat in itself!

RaceTime · 16 Oct 2002, 07:03 (Ref:405448)

Ahh But Jason Richards being a Kiwi - you shouldn't be mentioning Kiwi's and nudging in the same sentence

Airhead · 17 Oct 2002, 12:14 (Ref:406437)

Against better judgement - I'll put some shyte on Brock.

He was, in his heyday, either in the best car, or used someone elses car to rack up nine wins. Was he that quick compared to his rivals. Well no.

Was he the Holden marketing wet dream all rolled up in one Mike Raymond sized sticky mess. Well folks, yes he was.

But what is he now. An acancronism looking for some fast bucks. Or, a polariser looking for a European Doktor?

Morris 1100 · 17 Oct 2002, 12:27 (Ref:406449)

At least you didn't call him a wife basher!

Or a guy enjoying life, and enjoying having a fang whenever he gets the chance.

not a big fan of brock, but credit where its due, please.

he did have the best car some years, but it takes more than having the best car in the lield to win 9 bathursts. look at bright, he has a similar car to skaife and he cant win a chook raffle if it hit him on the head.

and your name sake did win a lot of his races with full ford support and most definately the best car in the field.
