I think a BIG congratulations must be said to all the Fujitsu series drivers racing in the main race on the weekend, i think the majority if not all of them did a fantastic job... in particular Jamie Whincup, and also James Courtney.

ummm i think whincup races the 88 car normally not a fujitsu series car
remember... he won the clipsal this year too, he really is forgotten.

GO THE FORDS
ive never really liked skaife, but definitely not after he told my sister in law and a few little kids in darwin when they were in the pits meeting drivers etc.
"im not signing any more shit,get out."
seton is the bloke id really like to see standing on the number one spot.

No Skaife is just a tool, the way he talks and acts pisses me off, i am not denying his talent of success. And its not really cause of holden either cause i dont mind Tander or Todd kelly and a couple of others.
Really really happy about Lowndsey winning it he deserved it.
Go the blue oval

And why are you happy that a ford could only win cause he DNFed, I was a ford supporter I would have been happier to see a ford win through a race but anyway.
Whoever says I hate him, you are a joke.

Skaife is s bit like Manly, you either like him or you dislike him. (Hate is a bit harsh).
Go the Blue Oval.

i was told the same thing by a lady about ambrose last year at bathurst.
I didnt believe her and i dont believe you. sorry, i have around the series for a long time, i have been to bathurst about 18 times, in my 22 year old life, i have never heard any driver to talk like that.
people have said it about every driver that has raced, but until i hear it for myself....

HAVING A BITCH
1.Steven Richards doing numerous laps leaking oil on the track,and hence causing many slip-ups/accidents.Pitted and went back out no worries even though he wrecked other drivers race.
2.How pissed off must Jason Richards be after flying across the track at 280 k's and narrowly avoiding a massive roll over.Returns to the pits and tells them of steering failure and not going to get back in the car.
The head honcho's say they have fixed it so get back out there only to
loose steering once again and lucky to avoid serious injury in another incident.
3.To the idiot that put Paul Radisich into the tyre barricade,back to ABC driving school for you.

Whoever says I hate him, you are a joke. I have met him several times, nothing but a top bloke. Jealous of success, sort of like painy and TCS. Haha

I'm a ford man and a damn proud one at that. And yes, i dislike skaife immensely... because he's a threat to the teams that i support. Wouldnt say i hated him.... nor is jealousy a term i would use (heck, im not out there racing him... little to be jealous about!!). He's got a pretty good media personality and has done a LOT for the V8SC series that both Holden and Ford supporter should be thankful for.
I cheered when i saw the number 2 sitting maimed on mountain straight... but felt for him when they interviewed him just after. Oh well, it's a cruel game isnt it???
Great coverage on ch10 for their last bathurst as well. Tyre-cam on 888 was amazing and anyone who is learning how to setup an RC car's suspension should have been taking notes!!!!
But Lowndes, Whincup, Team Betta Electrical and 888 engineering - what a success story!!!! First win at the mountain since the GOLDEN days of the E-series falcon (lol, anyone remember when ford used to sell more cars than holden? I call them the "pre-AU" years haha). Steady, consistent pace showed all the guys who were trying to wring the neck out of those cars. Just because lee diffey likes the catch phrase "it's a 1000km sprint race"... doesnt make it true!!!!
And with the heritage that Lowndes has with the General Motors brigade, surely its a pleasing result regardless of the American owned local subsiduary that you support.
Thoughts go out to Porter and his family and also to those still recovering from injuries sustained over the weekend.

Well done Lowndes and Whincup, you deserved it guys (and that comes from a Holden man).
And so so sorry to hear about Mark Porter.
In these days of track safety being as good as it is, we sometimes forget just how inherently dangerous motorsport can be.

I remember hearing a couple of months back that a couple of high profile Ford teams having a bitch that they would 'really not be a genuine chance at Bathurst this year because the parity issue between Ford & Holden has not been balanced". Judging by the speed of the 888 and SBR cars yesterday, there doesn't look to be too much wrong with them. 1st, 3rd and 4th seems to suggest differently!
(If memory serves, I think it was SBR & Brad Jones Racing that were complaining.)
I'm a born and bred Holden man, but if a Ford had to win yesterday, I'm glad it was Craig & Jamie. Great job guys.

Wouldn't have mattered what FORD team won. It was still a BLUE day for holden fans. And to see numb nuts go out just after the first corner wasGOLD and to hear the Smurf drop his lollies and also that up start Jason Richards 
, mate i could've died and gone to heaven
