Both of the boys in the top 10. But only because of the Red v Blue crap. Otherwise Ingall just pipped Steven for 10th.

 

[Stone Phoenix]

Because of the "5 cars of each make into the top ten" thing, Junior ran in the shootout and will start from p10.


Will finished 3rd fastest Ford (4th quickest overall) and starts p6.

A Bloody Good Efort,Well Done All.And cause Hey Hey I`ts Friday......A couple of Jimmies are in order[bc]

 

[Bundy_Bear]

Sorry was busy with work

Good to see the pace has continued this weekend for DJR. Jnr top ten shootout lap was down, i will look into that...

BB

 

[Nascar12]

Those positions is 2nd and 7th are a great result for any of the teams.

Great work JNR and Davo!!!

 

[Poita]

I just watched the highlights on the news and the bloody Ford drivers were at it again. [bgn]

 

[Nascar12]

After seeing how quick Tander was after the last restart, (something like 3 sec faster in one lap I think), got me thinking....
Whats the deal with scrutiny(Check spelling?) this round?
Could the guys slip in a red hot engine, bend the rules a little, etc... cause the results doesn't mean bugger all towards the championship.

Yeah that is hard to work out.
Like we've been saying for a log time how good it would be to see some Ford drivers show some aggression etc....., but all they do is take each other out?[sh]

FFS, we are already out numbered on every start grid, long before a wheel is turned in anger.

 

[Racin Jason]

As long as the DJR boys aren't a part of it I don't really give a stuff.

From now on I will only refer to Winterbottom as Kleenex and Courtney as Cole Trickle.

 

[4EVER17]

Come on you Ford Boys!!!!!!!!How about takeing out the Holdens instead of each other.....PLEASE![drunk]

 

[Poita]

This is really getting a habit with the Ford guys. I suppose it should be expected as the Holden teams don't have much competition amongst themselves.

Well done to Davo again he is really looking good for the future.

 

[TS-50]

I know they are saying they are both at fault there,especially Whincup (hence a drive through) B u ttttt . . . . . Whincup was easily past and trying to resume the line for the next corner, Kleenex was trying to hold him out wide to come around and put Whincup wide out of the next corner to try and gain advantage Instead of leaving racing room

The end reault is two Fords . . . .out of contention!
