Poor car prep over the weekend? Not doing all their checks. Poor attention to detail? You can not teach attention to detail. Or just bad luck? some people seem to have more bad luck than others?

Payne is quick but still too error prone.
Does there seem to be an issue with this batch of tyres?

Go John Goss and the Falcon Hardtop!

The Repco trophy delivery was interesting to see the least!

Anybody else think they should have had Heritage Revival out this morning?

Also the ****ing stupidity of covering over historical fag packet stickers while driving past betting ads.

Hopefully the last year we see those.

Did he clip the wall doing the U bolt?

Good morning from Reid Park

[Kingair]

Good morning Trevor, how is Reid Park on race morning?

Let’s just say Mixer, lightweight material and a cement fence is not a good mix!

I cannot believe they let the plane take off without inspecting the tail after hitting the wall, Not to mention flying straight back over the grandstand. Head Shaking Moment.

Bathurst day montage always gets me.

Being a Gen X, I feel so lucky to have been around to see these greats race, but also it is amazing we can still see these legends like Goss, KB, Bondy, and others who just look like they are in fine form despite their age.

I was lucky enough to crew for Chas Talbot on Thommo's famous Benz before it was restored and I count myself so lucky to have met all these blokes on that context.

It won't be long until many of them are gone.

Had the good fortune to meet John Goss at a historic race meeting many years, he just gets a chat on.

Happily posed for photos with his Falcon Hardtop.

[Sandgroper]

How much mawkish bs can they shoehorn into a telecast ?

IM a Brock diehard but the carry on, it seems like the Peter Brock 1000 race. Just move the start time earlier and stop with all the polava.

Plane hit the wall when he swung around on track. Look not too major but should have been inspected before take off again.

Hope you did not get up early to watch 'the event'* telecast .... if I was still living in WA, I'd be ropable.
Had plenty of those early starts.
The revisionist history lesson sickened me.

* e.g Emma Freedman has a racing pedigree, horse racing ...

Early days but Im happy for him. Hope he gets the Slade ride next year

[Sandgroper]

So do we think the idea to start the Main Game drivers was a good one? Looks like it, no kaos at the start to get the Co-Driver blame game. Next phase could be interesting.

[GTRMagic]

It’s good to not have crashing buggering up the flow of the race..
No safety cars breeeing safety cars… yet…

The Chiko Roll machine looks strong..

Certainly a very clean start.

But I think this is part of enduro racing, so I am not really a fan.

I mean, Aaron Love is a primary driver, and Kai Allen will be next year...

Agreed and no blame game for the Co-Drivers.....YET

[Mixer]

Oof the Boost car looks loose at both ends. Maybe lucky not to get beached.

Yikes how is the bump draft!

Wildcards need to run around and stay out of trouble, not turn down on people while being lapped. That was very amateur.
