I'm compiling a list of teams in each series at Accelerate (http://www.qrda.asn.au ).
But here goes anyways... Holden Racing Team? Mark Skaife and Todd Kelly Lansvale Smash Repairs Trevor Ashby Steve Reed back to B grade unless they update Stone Brothers Racing David Besnard Marcus Ambrose - Tony Longhurst Enduros Ford Tickford Racing Glen Seton and who knows...apparently Canto is out of the running now... Kmart Racing Greg Murphy Steven Richards Castrol Racing Larry Perkins Russel Ingall Mitre 10 racing - 2 cars? Mark Larkham and someone...but I have a feeling Simon Wills might get the gig. Wynns Racing - 2 cars? Rodney Forbes and Crompton? Aloe Qench Racing Dougal Mcdougal Shell Helix Racing - 3 cars? Paul Radisich Steven Johnson Clowndsey? Brad Jones Racing - 2 cars? Brad Jones and himself. Not a level one team. Romano Racing - will team have enough funds to continue? Paul Romano should have the funds, dont worry about that Team Gatorade Racing Peter Doulman Cotter -> Lites Big Kev Racing - 2 cars? Paul Morris hmm... Supercheap Auto Racing - 2 cars? Steven Ellery and himself. Going GTP with some Jags as well. Densitron Display Technologies - will team have enough funds to continue? Tomas Mezera hmmm...hope so Garry Rogers Motorsport Garth Tander Jason Bargwanna Greenfield Mowers Racing - 2 cars? Cameron Mclean and himself. K & J Thermal Products Racing - 2 cars? Paul Weel hmm... JFR - 2 cars? John Falkner and Macrow of he can bring sponsorship. Rod Nash Racing - Auto Pro and possilbly Repco auto tools have pulled the plug with the team so will they continue next year? Rod Nash Cameron McConnville John Deere Grounds Care Racing - 2 cars? Mark Poole they wont be in anything, team already folded. Toll Racing - 2 cars? Anthony Tratt they do have a second car, but dont intend using it. CAT Racing - 2 cars? John Bowe and you heard it here first, GARY BRABHAM. |

I think Todd kelly will step up to the number one team as he has proved himself this year..as for gary brabham..wow..is it gary or geoff you mean..if it is gary then its about time we heard of him ..last i saw of him was surfers in 94 and nothing since..not a bad driver..in fact i would like to see all 3 of the brabham boys in the ATCC one day.
I still feel lowndes will either got to FTR or a new Holden team despite the fact he lives in QLD. will alan jones step up to the plate in a second toll car..he seems to get on well with the team ???? the rest i dont have a clue about. |

ah 1. Really how well do people think Kelly went this year??
2. GARY gary gary. This here is the top secret story from a little while ago I wasn't meant to tell anyone. He was instructing at a driver training course up here, when he wispered to one of the guys there that he was going to race in V8s next season. The guy noticed he drove in in a John Briggs Jag, and asked him if he it was with the Cat team...to which he responded yes. Although saying that, John Bowe said on the coast that the team wouldn't have enough money to run two cars...who knows. 3. Does anyone like Alan Jones any more? The Toll team simply have that car as a spare, I doubt that they would have the money to run two. |

Well they used to, but they will only have one V8, and a Jaguar or two in GTP NC to fill up the budget. Plus Ellery still is a privateer franchise holder, so doesn't need to run two cars. Trust me on this one

My turn...I've removed the certainties to shorten this a little.
Holden Racing Team? Mark Skaife and Todd Kelly Ford Tickford Racing Glen Seton and I would have said Ambrose last week but now possibly Lowndes actually Mitre 10 racing - 2 cars? Mark Larkham I doubt 2 cars next year, maybe 2002 Wynns Racing - 2 cars? Rodney Forbes 1 car Shell Helix Racing - 3 cars? Paul Radisich Steven Johnson 2 cars Brad Jones Racing - 2 cars? Brad Jones 1 car, but maybe 2 in 2002/3 Romano Racing - will team have enough funds to continue? Paul Romano Who knows, if they continue they need to get a new car. Team Gatorade Racing Peter Doulman and John Cotter Big Kev Racing - 2 cars? Paul Morris 1 car most likely, maybe a second at selected rounds. Supercheap Auto Racing - 2 cars? Steven Ellery 1 car Densitron Display Technologies - will team have enough funds to continue? Tomas Mezera Hope he can continue, I like Tomas Greenfield Mowers Racing - 2 cars? Cameron Mclean Cam is in a team which will have a lites team I think (memory not too good right now) K & J Thermal Products Racing - 2 cars? Paul Weel 1 car JFR - 2 cars? John Falkner 1 car, maybe Lites? Rod Nash Racing - Auto Pro and possilbly Repco auto tools have pulled the plug with the team so will they continue next year? Rod Nash Cameron McConnville First I've heard of Repco John Deere Grounds Care Racing - 2 cars? Mark Poole 1 car Toll Racing - 2 cars? Anthony Tratt 1 car CAT Racing - 2 cars? John Bowe Definitely 1 car. I specifically asked him that too and he said 1 car. |

Why would Lowndesy be going to FTR, if one of the main reasons for him leaving HRT is the travel back and forawrds to Melbourne?
Mitre 10- they do have a second car there just waiting to be repaired. Gatorade- Confirmed as a Lites team next year. Greenfield- Cameron is now a seperate opperation to his Dad, who will be running the Salmon car in whichever series they do. Originally it was going to be SCS, but after the split, who knows now. JFR- In his recent interview in MN he said that they had the budget in place for 1.75 cars...and Macrow would need to bring the rest if he wants the drive. Another thing I heard was that the sponsors aren't too happy there either... John Deere- Is out, finished, kaput. Sold car to Morris, which he has been raicng of late. CAT- Hmmm, not so sure... Gary Brabham is the best of the Brabham brothers at putting a deal together, and if he said he was going to be racing for Briggs next season, maybe he would bring a new sponsor on board. |

Lowndesy will be driving for a Queensland based team next year.
Which one I hear you ask? I have insider info, but I'm sworn to secrecy. So I'll give you a hint He is presently working on a Craig Lowndes special VX Statesman to be sold as a limited edition through a select group of Holden Dealers. I have more to add to this when it's confirmed. |

P.S. Lowndes may be fitting energy polarisers to his VX Satesman.

Gees a little sack of crystals hey? Gees...GMH didn't like that when BROCK did that back in the late 80s...
Hmm, that pair have been getting along rather chumbily of late, especially after reading AA, where Mr P.Brock advised Mr C.Lowndes to leave HRT. And apparanently Mr P.Brock has just said some more nice things about Mr C.Lowndes on Channel Nein....Hmm...and Mobil is still rather chumbily with Mr P.Brock, will P.Brock Jr also be in this super dooper team? Also, I have a secret workshop under my garage...if they want somewhere secure they know my number... Ok David, you do live closer to C.Lowndes, but i'm sure Stafford Heights wouldn't be too far away for him to travel to work |
