So the last event of the year! Bit of a dead rubber since Scotty Mac has won the Championship already. So dare say he'll be racing for fun rather than for consistency sake for said championship.

Not only that but Kiss are playing at the concert as Supercars have been ramming down viewers throats any chance they can.

*Insert witty motorsport related comment here*

I'd sooner go watch Nandi Kiss race his billy cart than the band.

champcarman · 12 Nov 2019, 08:08 (Ref:3940119)

Sounds like KISS will be absent from Newcastle!

mayhem · 14 Nov 2019, 04:21 (Ref:3940510)

KISS Cancels

Super Seamer will replace Kiss with the Young Talent Time Team!

Yeah yeah

So wonder what Supercars will do? One replacement can be Savage Garden since they're turning 20

Organise a motor race at a rock concert?

Is the event considered a monetary success without the concert element?

You'd have to assume so. Concert was run last year with a lower-profile act and the event did OK (as far as we know).

With Kiss not coming there is the loss of budgeted income from the concert ticketing (although most events carry suitable insurance for exactly this type of situation) but then the event doesn't have the expense of setting up the concert area and of course the band fees.

FAS33 · 17 Nov 2019, 08:44 (Ref:3941054)

Is that band still going? hideous music. Glad they didn’t come down.

**GTRMagic** · 21 Nov 2019, 07:11 (Ref:3941890)

Lattes and biscotti no more...

Kingair · 21 Nov 2019, 07:54 (Ref:3941893)

Talking to a volunteer official today, he reckons the GRM party on Sunday night will be a big night.

But Scott Pye went so over the top in his first message. Saying DJRTP has been consistently breaking the rules all year. To me he is bitter.

Yes they exceeded the allowances. They have been penalised. But having a jab at SM is out of line. No respect for Scott Pye.

Not to mention DJRTP started improving a hell of a lot after Pye left.

The social media post just needs to be wrapped up in a 888 driver's quote to complete the in-joke.

I was waiting for FORDAs comment

Ive never seen a jump all over 10Tenths like the past year or so

It's amazing what happens when the series is not a guaranteed "Commodore Cup" year after year

Mixer · 21 Nov 2019, 22:50 (Ref:3942027)

DJ has always been a sook, Stevie J is having a cry and making a mountain out of an out of context molehill, and Scotty Mac is fitting into the family really well.

The way he comments about people on social media, he is literally asking for a pasting.

You'd think amid accusations of cheating and plenty of instances of unpunished transgressions, the high road would be just to shut up.

Forda · 21 Nov 2019, 23:12 (Ref:3942031)

People respond to bullying in various ways.

Some do shut up and accept it, others push back.

Mixer · 21 Nov 2019, 23:33 (Ref:3942034)

By any stretch of the definition, Scott isn't being bullied.

There is the social media commentary that seems to be unfortunately the norm; but there is nothing that constitutes bullying.

Quote:

seek to harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable).

Scott is far from vulnerable, by his own comments he invited a bite back from other people in the paddock - and he got it.

Forda · 21 Nov 2019, 23:50 (Ref:3942042)

The team and personnel have been picked on from the moment they stated winning races in the new Mustang; in many different ways, from many different sources, including death threats being sent in the worst instance.

Hoping they can claim the Teams' championship in Newcastle - it would be a fitting response to the nonsense they've all had to endure this season.

Sandgroper · 22 Nov 2019, 04:50 (Ref:3942074)

LOVE a good end of season dust up.

Cant wait for the action on the track

So WHO Poisoned Scott Pye's dinner last night hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Kingair · 22 Nov 2019, 05:15 (Ref:3942075)

Speedcafe reporting Scott Pye has been hospitalised.

No doubt the food poisoning will be caused by DJR/Penske running those special qualifying engines that allow more carbon monoxide out of the low c of g exhausts!

Can’t see Scotty Mac sending him flowers or taking a fruit basket into the hospital- maybe a signed poster of the Mustang?

I call bull-debriss on that.
