Tit's sorry tips for Oran Park.

Skaife to qualify very well only to beach it. Again
Ingall to show us once again that it was really Marcos that made those SBR Falcons fast.
Brighty to continue FPR's progress.
Murphy to eat humble pie at every meal. Again
The female Kelly to get done by Wollerman for squeezing people off the track. Ala Lowndes at QR.
The same Judge of Fact won't be in charge of the speed camera.
That somewhere it will rain.
Todd Kelly to insist that he has Skaife's gear lever installed in his car.
Crackers diffey to F@#k up somewhere during the telecast.
Be good to your mother.

Seriously Tander will be hard to beat. Personaly i hope he crashes into the wall coming on to main straight.
Lowndes will be fast and maybe even win it.
Todd to actually finish the race with the gear lever still attached and in a strong position.
Bright to break FPR's drought and win the weekend

Sounds good Col, an FPR-Bright victory is way overdue.

Being a totally one eyed DJR supporter, I just hope the inclusion of Burgess (Forgot his first name already) will make some sought of difference to team DJR. Would be great to see one or both of them in the 10 on sunday afternoon. Along with Skaife & Tander in the sand somewhere, would be a perfect weekend....

Might take Adrian Burgess a couple of rounds to get settled in.
Hope there`s room in that sand pit for Murphy.

1) Courtney (to show everyone SBR dont need Ambrose!!)
2) Winterbottom (I'd love to see the Ford Credit machine win agin)
3) Lowndes (just to make it a 1-2-3 for Ford)


I think DJR probably have there best chance go getting into the top ten shoot out this weekend, with jnr qualifing 4th last year!!

Lookings at the practice times Joe sought of indicates that SBR are SERIOUSLY missing Ambrose. Courtney down in 13th & Ingall back in 17th. Very very rarely did we ever see Marcos that far down in pratice & when he was, he had that rare ability to fight his way back through the pack to somewhere near the front by the end of the weekend. Something that neither Courtney OR Ingall seem to be able to do & is part of the reason that most Ford fans put Marcos in the same legendry status as Geoghean, Moffat & Johnson.

It's starting to look like Marcos is seriously irreplaceable at SBR! I doubt very much that they will win a race this year let alone a round unfortunately, which will be the first time SBR have gone winless since..........I dunno, a bloody long time.. 97 maybe??????

Hopefully better things for SBR in qualifying tomorrow as we all know, that's when the bull**** stops!!

Courtney was in the same spot in QLD before he qualified 3rd or 4th. Bussines for the weekend does not start until qualifing. Yes Ambrose was great (you dont win 2 championships if your crap!!) but give Courtney some time. SBR did not use new rubber so they should be higher up. DJR also normally don't use new rubber so they should also be higher up.

Well done jnr in the race. Im not sure what happend to Davidson, he was 8th-ish for 90% of the race a dropped off near the end. He was also unlucky to miss the top ten shoot out. He was in the top ten in qualifing for most of it & just downed out in the last 30 odd seconds

Go to see Courtney up to 9th... But gees, hard to believe I'm talking about SBR!!

And Lowndes should now take the championship lead!!

He got a drive through for "overlapping" on the restart.

Well Done jnr... Equal 3rd... They looked like they had pretty had good race pace.. shame they cant qualifier better...

They still seem to lack HP compare to Toll car... SBR engines seemed to keep up with the Toll cars!!

The cars looked pretty good. Still way behind 888 and the like....

It would be nice to think that this new Team Manager had something to do with the cars new found pace. Keep it going lad!

Well, after returning from OP, I'd have to say DJR's engine's are 2nd only to TWR!!! They have good power at DJR & in the 1st race, Jnr just powered past Ingall down the front straight.

Well done Jnr. =3rd is an almost unbeivable result from DJR at there 'Bogey' track OP. To hold of Tander in those final laps was an awesome effort & futher shows the speed of the DJR cars.

If you weren't at OP, you won't appreciate the drives of Will Davison! He had pace over Jnr all weekend & just needs to brush up on a few area's of his racecraft to be a future 'star' IMHO. He had 2 drive thru's 4 the weekend, 1 flat & was always streaking back through the field & passing drivers with much more experience with good passing moves.

Well done Steve, Will & the whole team at DJR especially Adrian Burgess who has had instant impact at DJR..

Bring on the enduro's....

I thought it was the other way around Joe. In race 3 Tander was all over Jnr everywhere except in a straight line.

i am with you Jason, the car looked pretty strong in a straight line, did anyone else notice they took at front tyre at the pitstop, one fron and one rear. Everyone else took rears ???? junior was locking up the fronts in a few places.

But as Crompton said, he is mentally so tough and doesnt make mistakes....bring on the enduros. Will is fast and Junior is so consistent

I disagree with the engine talk.. The move where Ignall went down the inside of Courtney & Courntey got a poor exit & Tander got pass, Tander had nothing over Courtney in a straight line.. The when Tander got up to jnr, he kept catching jnr on the striaght.. Anyway, that is how I saw it!!

The only place I saw Tander catching Jnr was in the braking area's as Jnr had more weight to pull up. :D

Ford won & more importantly DJR beat HRT!! Well done lads!:D:D:D:D:D:D
