Hidden Valley Practice/Qualifying

[ROB17]

Session A & B Completed. Don't know what Kelly Racing has done to Todd's car but he is on fire. Not many lapy for DJR in Session B. Let's hope their cars are quick out of the box and they spent time fine tuning the setup.

James Courtney not on the timesheets. Interested to find out what has happened. Junior down in 21. I hope he was saving his tyres.

[JB-17]

I`m hearing JC cars blew an engine was beding in the brakes & she let go.

 

[PaddockBasher]

Hey guys, have been at the track today. Stuck my nose in the garage towards the end of the afternoon. No dramas with the 17 car, they are happy with it. But, the 18 car has pretty much come straight to the track with minimal time in the workshop, and needs some fine tuning to get it up to speed.

 

[Gerry]

JC did an engine all right!
Hope Steven finds some speed tomorrow.

 

[ROB17]

Thanks for the info PadockBasher. Lets hope things improve for Car 18 tomorrow.

 

[Stone Phoenix]

Any time now would be a good time for JC's fortunes to swing around.

And it would be interesting to see who was on what tyre....give us a bit more of an idea as to who is where.

 

[Hardies Hero]

Feck it...

both cars have missed the shootout and are burried mid pack, looks like our NT luck looks set to continue.

results after Qualifying.

[TS-50]

I'm curious to know, given that incident with Ambrose where he was penalised for "Brake testing", will Tander get the same application of the rules in todays incident where he passed (I think it was spud) and then slapped the anchors on nearly to a stop in a display seen every afternoon outside schools by rabid road raging soccer mums.

I'm guessing that Tander will get nothing.

great effort in race 1 by James who ended around 8th

 

[Hardies Hero]

yes good to see Jimmy come away with a straight car.

I know James was on the sprint tyre for 20 odd laps, does anyone know if Steve used his? his best lap was nearly 2 seconds slower than Jims.

He will get away with it as he always does.

Pleased to see james had good car speed and finished strong. He would have had lowndes if the race were a little longer. Bring on tomorrow.

 

[XYGTReplica]

James was very strong at the end of the race. Bring on tomorrow, where he has twice the distance to put a fast car and a good strategy to use.

Not sure what was happening with Steve, he just didn't seem to have car pace today. Hopefully the team have some answers for him overnight. Tander has pushed him back to 4th in the Championship, so hopefully he can bag some points on Sunday.

 

[Gerry]

Great drive by JC - not before time but great nonetheless!
Steven doesn't seem to quite have it this weekend.
He will need to extract the digit or he will find himself dropping from 3rd to about 5th or 6th very quickly.

 

[Bigcol]

Nothing will happen to Tander , don't you know that anyone from HRT is a protected species.

Good result from dancing boy. Let's hope he can bring it home on one piece tomorrow

 

[Stone Phoenix]

I don't think Steve used his Option tyres at all so he should be good for a bit more pace tomorrow, hopefully after both boys qualify in the top ten.

Good run from James today, after an ordinary start to the weekend things are looking up a bit.

 

[Nascar12]

JC found form today - hope this marks the start of good times for him.
I thought Jnr started the race on sprints but I could be wrong.


Give it a red hot go boys!!!!

 

[DJR-FAN]

The DJR press release has Steve running with a broken shock for most of the race, which would explain a few things.

 

[Timmy]

Hopefully they have all of steves problems sorted out for todays race. He didn't run his sprint tryes yesterday did he

 

[Gerry]

A broken shock will certainly make it difficult.
Did he use soft tyres yesterday - I can't remember?
If he didn't I hope he has a red hot go today.

 

[DJR-FAN]

Steve still has his soft tyres for today and it sounds like he ran his worst set of control tyres yesterday as well. With any luck they have sorted all the problems out and he will have good rubber for Qualifying and the Race today.
