Check it out on the the web it's live on sunday i think and maybe saturday, saturday arvo the top ten shot out is on, They really hang there balls on the mirror and go for broke, It's worth watching if you can, I will be right here watching the racing and checking out HD all weekend, How is Marcuss Ambross going over there? He was very good is AUS but a bit of a girl. I do like NASCAR my missus would like to come over and check it out, But i am not real keen on planes and i think it would be quite a costly trip.

Marcos is actaully doing pretty well. He has won a couple of races and lost some that he should have won due to some mistakes that he made right at the end..

I would like to see Frosty get a win, but I don't really care as long as that smirky smart arse Garth Tander dosn't win, we will have to get "The Enforcer"to give him a hard time, he really is a dirty driver.
BTW we had better explain to our US cousins, Holdens are really re-badged Pontiacs. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Funny you should mention Frosty i don't mind him, What you see of him in the TV he comes across as a good bloke, But he drives a ffford, I recon the The Enforcer will have his elbows out he has nothing to loose and goes well on the mountain.

Howdy Pin Heads

HOLDEN has done it again GRAIG LOWNDES has done it and beat GREG MURPHYS time in Fridays morning practise, That has been held since 2003, The top ten shot out is on this arvo this will be awesome, There is 7 HOLDENS and 3 FORDS in the top ten, Olddog will be happy FROSTY is up there going well, I have bit of a gut feeling that BARGS and SETO will be close to the pointy end Sunday arvo.

Well FROSTY is on pole, Olddog will be happy!
LOWNDES is beside him on the front row tomorrow, 1000km is a long way i guess we will have to wait until 5pm tomorrow to see who can take out the GREAT RACE on the best race track in the world.

I was always a Ford fan growing up, but since then I have owned 3 Commodores (VB, Vl, VS)
The VB had a V8 donk in it,... I was young and enthusiastic..what a great combination!
