i was fuming at that incident and LP is 100% right but maybe he should of kept it to himself as i feel he will find himself handing over some loose change from the piggy bank.

That is an absolute (expletive deleted) joke. Stuff up the safety car deployment and then dish out a penalty because you sent the saftey car out at the wrong time. Isn't there a fine for bringing the sport into disrepute. It should be leveled at the officals. But as per usual Larry will cop a fine for telling the truth.

If Mr Perkins was so adamant he was right, why not refuse to take the penalty and put a bomb (figuratively of course) under race control at the conclusion of the event?
That Mr T.Kelly almost wiped out the safety car may have influenced the decition to penalise... |

I can't see what Larry's complaining about.
Kelly's move was the most blatant overtake of a safety car since Scott Goodyear's fumbled restart during the concluding stages of the 1995 Indy 500. Sure the deployment of the safety car was late but you don't drive door handle to door handle with safety car. |

Even tho I am not a big Larry fan I reckon good on him for his serve,it is what is need in this class, everybody has being to scared to speak there mind against the pathetic CAMS/VE$A Stewards. Bar for Larry, Kim Jones and Garry Rodgers no will speak out.
Now some will disagree with me here, but there is nothing wrong in speaking up for you driver/team with some of the stupid choices the stewards have made over the last decdade. Now if Larry gets fined or not I say good on you LP. |

Ha, it was only a matter of time before Larry made his way on to the screen to stick it up 'em.
It will cost him but to cop a penalty from race controls **** up is wrong. At no point would have Todd been expecting to be picked up by the SC, he wasn't leading the race! Confusion sets in, Todd makes a choice - just happened to ruin his race. Good on ya Larry, I thought you did will in restraining yourself |

What do you expect when the race directors only claim to fame was racing back in the days when the words 'safety car' didn't even exist and, even now, he only seems to recognise the word 'car'

Please excuse my ignorance in this. But I missed the race last night, as well as Larry's comments? What did he say and what exactly what happened?
Thanks. |

Todd did pass the safety car, I thought it was dodgy when I saw it, the 888 cars were clear when the safety car came out.
However what Larry said was spot on, I reckon Mick Ronke and Bob Jane will have that taped and use it for on-hold music when you ring Winton or Calder - |

Just heard it for the first time. Mr. Perkins, how true your statements are. This sport is a joke when you have situations like that.

while lowndes is touch and go, there is no way Whincup went past, the safety car was still in pit lane wehn he went past. But the real question we should be asking was why was the safety car such a shimozzle why did it take so long to come out and why wasnt it out in time for the leader. whatw e heard on the telecast suggested it was scrambled (maybe) (meaning it came out becuase there was a issue on the track that required to be field to be slowed quickly) but it clearly wasnt scrambled as it was for one car that had been there for minutes and it was in a sand trap. Something went astray (maybe a language barrier) and we need to fix this |

exactly Trev.....and kelly would have been told to go pass the Safety Car anyway so i dont see what all the fuss was about. Maybe the delay in sending the Safety Car out was if they were using a local yokel as the driver like they do at other racetracks he was probably out chatting to one of his mates behind it and ran to the wrong side to get in,them having left hand drive over there and the safety car being right hand drive

Were the SC boards being shown when the T8 cars went past tho (more specifically whincup, lowndes would have clearly seen the SC, but i doubt whicup could have)

Just had a look, and the SC call was given way before they were even on the back straight.

Larry and some others have a forgetful memory, THe Marshalls and other officials do a great JOb, but one man makes a decision of the safety Car.
CAN YOU GUESS WHO THAT IS. TEFLON ......... Larry has just F***** in regards to all the hard working Cams Officials. As a Team Owner, Larry have a look in your backyard. Welcome Larry, to the Club of V8 ego's who have offsided volunteer Marshalls. |
