Dumbrells wheel into Lowndes' windscreen might be one for the list.
The Perkins car was slower than #888 but that one wheel looked like it was moving pretty damn quick |

I'd say the latter.
It's what we already know anyway. |

Correct and if i bring a sponsor and quality driver that will be just a formality.
The track is designated as a 28 car track by v8 supercars |

Anyway, there need to be compelling commercial reasons and it's not automatic or necessarily straightforward - here are a couple of the rules that might apply: "In exceptional circumstances, and subject to the approval of the Stewards, V8 Supercars has the sole discretion: 6.1.7.1 to allocate the final four (4) qualifying positions in a race to Drivers who have not qualified for that race; and 6.1.7.2 for compelling commercial considerations, to permit a Driver who may not otherwise have qualified to start in a race, to start in any such race as a “wild card” entry." "V8 Supercars means V8 Supercars Australia Pty Ltd; and unless otherwise indicated in the text of a Rule, all references in these Rules to V8 Supercars will be construed as references to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of V8 Supercars" . |

You can be confident "my" co driver will be acceptable. Especially using the precedent of last years Wild card entry.
Yes it will have to be acccepted, but that will almost be a rubber stamp in this case "I" have a competitive COTF sitting in my garage that has recent race miles on it |

Funnily enough maybe not - the same rules have been in place for over a decade and back then the V8 track capacity was fully utilised so a wild card couldn't be added into the field without one of the existing runners dropping out.
If Pecky's new driver is a stand-out then it could happen but the V8 CEO needs to justify to his board that there are compelling commercial considerations at play - the fact that wild cards have happened so rarely outside the endurance rounds is an indication that the bar on "compelling" is set high. |

"I" am confident this will be accepted in light of "me" running this brand name driver next year in my 2nd car. Of course it all depends on the Enduro experience |

Or lack of experience in the case of the Shannon's Supercar Shootout wildcard or whatever it was called.
