The Court of Appeal in the case of Scott clutch ruled that it is a drivers championhip and the driver is totally responsible for the car - so that is why technical based penalties go against the driver
I have checked and with all other exclusions in NZV8's the points have been reallocated -- so this would make it pretty interesting If all the heads are to be checked then this can logically be done at the end of the championship -- unfortunately just one of those things but perhaps it would be better for total fairness and will either get the rumour mills going or stop them |

As for special relationships, I'm afraid I've seen several of them turn unpleasant simply because someone misunderstood. Banter on the whole does not work on such a large site, and tends to discourage other posters from joining in. |

By special relationship, I think 911 means the fact that in this part of the world, we can stick it up each other, and either hug and make up or go out for a beer together.......
.....as opposed to riot in the streets because Everton won the footie and that wasn't our team! |

I also have not got the mental fortitude to work out the JJD wiggle code...
.how about some good news... Hayden Mc is now able to compete at Pukekohe thanks to Clark Proctor who has lent him his spare body shell........way to go Clark..It would be a shame not to have Team HMM not to be able to play.......... |

Gee, shucks 911. Thankyou for your 'off subject' post regarding my downfall from grace. You run a risk of course of being "off topic" and I greatly admire good folk that go out on a limb for a stranger...... I am well put out by having posts deleted AND demerit points awarded (and they are not old ones 'cos I have never had any before.!) Well put out because we are adults and Racing fraternity and we obviously have more than a passing interest in this Mighty Sport that we follow. Thats what keeps us discussing this and that well after the last wheel has turned at the track. We are ALL highly likely to bump into each other at a Track or, some would say perish the thought, actually attend together. Hell. some among us are actual bona fidA Race Car Drivers and take the time to contribute to this Forum. Yes. lets STICK with the Special Relationships quote 'cos its true. In all the years that this small band of Posters have been engaged in Banter and race talk and idle chit-chat and downright opposing views, we are all still as good together as we always were. Those that didnt have this capacity to give and take have goooorne and that is how it works. Welcome back Just do it, I was starting to think about ya. And your comments as well as 911's are aptly put. Evo too has broken his silence and is further proof that we are a special bunch (although I am not that sure that he was really aiming to share that grog) and not to be lumped in with the 'Football' type Followers who's passion in the Northern Hemisphere most often spills over into something else. THAT doesnt happen here.
Oh, we have welcomed a good few new Posters over the last week or so and also had good input from Posters that have been registered for a fair while but have not visited or at least, commented on our Thread. Brilliant. Despite a contrary view expressed lately, our perceived bad behavior over that same period does not appear to have discouraged Posters, old or new. |

I have heard that Adam Brooke will be driving the other TKR car at Pukekohe. JL has indeed gone so it would seem.

Well done to him though for getting the opportunity. I am not sure it will be very comfortable at THAT particular round though. You know, THAT round. Our undisputed WORLD Class Racing Week-end. Strange new car and a new team to merge in with and a MASSIVE Crowd to witness proceedings. oOOH, Thats got me Juices going (in the NICest possible way of course), just thinking of three days at Pukekohe again. Yes yes yes, I WILL be the old man with that silly ear to ear grin seemingly frozen into this rugged head of mine, wandering around muttering that this should all happen much more often than it does. Cant wait and lets hope as we said before, that the Headgate issue doesnt spoil it for some very very Gooooood NZ V8 Drivers |

Evo has given up on confirming/denying rumours, he just ignores them now.
But I'll wager a cyber-beer that I am right |

Ok lets specuate then. Why has this happened. After extensive testing for the seat pre season (and I can't be bothered rehashing all the press releases)
TKR select two drivers and mount their campaign. Results are no where however of course this is a rebuilding year and looking to the future etc etc so we shouldn't expect too much this season. One round to go and a driver is gooone replaced by a series veteran who is a pretty good peddlar however appears to suffer budget constraints. Where is the upside for TKR in running Adam Brooke going forwards? Why do drivers keep rotating within the team and are they going to continue with a NZ campaign and if so how do they attract talent with a reputation for churning through driving relationships? |

Hi All
Radio Sport had the verdict at 3pm. John McIntyre and Paul Pedersen both lose 20 championship points and were fined $400. BUT they also lose all the points from the rounds where the engines were used......so McIntyre loses all points from Manfeild and Taupo. Paul Pedersen loses points from Teretonga, Timaru, Manfeild and Taupo. Both decisions have been appealed. It has all been updated on the www.nzv8s.co.nz site. New Points: Kayne Scott 1020 Angus Fogg 986 Andy Booth 855 |

So it looks like Kayne had better show up to Pukekohe after all...
