Thanks for that...I have the live timing up now, so I can keep an eye on things as well. Great to see #17 so far up so early....Will can improve from 14th, and still another session in 10 minutes.

 

[Racin Jason]

Gee Whincup looks to be doing it easy. He did his fastest lap on lap 4. Steven not far behind, his was on lap 8. Good to Steve on the money early.

 

[Rob 18]

Good session again from DJR with both drivers inside the 10. Whincup is white hot but with a 21.3 on his last lap. He has carried over his form from last year thats for sure!!

Thanx for that buddy. Looks like Tander might want his old car back from the way Dumbers is going in #16. Good job once again from Holdsworth in #33 & also Courtney in #4.

Bring on Qualifying..

Eight tenths between first and fifteenth!!

 

[des1]

a lot of fords in the top 10.looking good

 

[Racin Jason]

Great to see both JBR cars in the top 8. Not a bad effort considering they are the two oldest nails in the field.

Bring on the races and the ORION!

 

[TS-50]

Damned impressive!

Will and Steve are on fire, can't wait for the racing.

 

[Donut King]

Good effort from the boys, especially Steve, going by the DJR release he was far from happy with the performance of his car in the qualifying session, hopefully the balance comes back to be more like Will's car in the race

 

[Nascar12]

Good start to the season for us, keep it up lads!!

 

[Rob 18]

Watching live timing yesterday, Jnr only just scrapped in by the skin of his teeth. He was outside the top 15 with only a couple of minutes to go & then he nailed a lap to just scrape in to the final 10.

Bloody good effort to get 8th after the final run.

 

[Mitchell]

i was watching on bigpond.. Just as Jnr snuck in to the 10, Skaife started a fast lap and was .02 slower through the first two sectors, i couldnt bare to watch. the clock had stopped and i was sure Skaife would go quicker.. but i was wrong ..

awesome start to the year. Davison is the best thing to happen to this team since John Bowe. Jnr is talented, i dont care what anyone else thinks, HE IS! But he does get complacent. Having Davo there, who is naturally just as quick, has put a rocket up our Jnr... I expect him to be in the top 4 today.. without question, and if Jnr can get in the top 4, lets hope Davo can take the win

I agree, ( I did back Skaife to beach it this weekend so I'm waiting for that) It's great to see both Will and Steve out there in the best looking two cars, and fast right out of the Box, I'm pretty pumped for a good result.

Jnr, is talented, but I don't think it is complacency, . . . fair dinkum I reckon a lot of the cruising and missed passing opportunities have been a bout car preservation and reducing costs, I mean he has had to have seen his old man struggling with coin and he would have been trying (even subconciously)not to take risk.
This year with some cash, I hope jnr proves the Nay sayers wrong.[8D]

 

[4EVER17]

Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes..T.S.I Think the best thing that could happen to Steve is some one say It`s ok to Bin It cause we`ve got another 2 out the back.[^]

 

[Poita]

Only 28 cars made the grid for Clipsal, great effort by VESA, the series is truly in decline.

Team BOC are still crap no matter what badge is on the car.

10th and 12th for HSVDT, proves the screwing over they got from HRT has affected the team.

16th for Fabian Coultard, great effort.

With all the money invested for this year and Ingall joining team, PMMS are no better than last year. [crackup]

5th and 8th for Will and Steve, well done to the whole Team, just goes to show you also need brains and talent as money and Ingall alone is going to make f@#k all difference.
