Congratulations Shane Penn
Hey if people dont want to hit him just let him fly away from you because i know his old car was mighty fast but this one maybe quicker and if people dont have the guts to hit him let him win another title. Plus dont go on about not having the guts because i do not own a superstock and i agree i wouldnt wanna hit him coz u would probably get nailed for a bit of payback. Yes thats what superstocks do now adays is flag race

I agree with you there mrf97, and if my memory serves me correctly there wouldnt be to many guys around wanting to feel the wrath of Shane like what he did to BJ that year in Palmy-correct me if im wrong. I think wat alot of us are forgetting is the escullating costs now involved with running 1 of these hotrods week in week out, trying to put on a show for us keyboard racers  Also we have to take in to account that within the next 8wks these guys have all the biggest meetings of the year including NI's,World 240's,NZ's,Palmy Teams etc and may not be prepared to put the car or body on the line for not such a prestigeous title. Anyway just my opinion  |

Correct me if im wrong,it wasnt that long ago that championships were over 3 races not 2 for gids with a 1 off winner takes all?? i would of thort if ya consistant all night ya reak the benefit?? And if that was the case Shane Mellsop would of been the winner with 2nd of top points goin into last race and finnishing 3rd  ?? i dont have other points were 7p and 72p in top 3 going into last race?? how are the NZ,s going to be decided ?? via a 1 off last race winner takes all,or by consistancy? |

It should be over three heats coz in one of the races if someone got taken out and then a 1st and had a fast car they could win

What a bunch wimps the bay cars are,palmy 1st and second,please people its that simple.You dont need to put someone of the end to upset there chances just block them and slow them down.I wasnt there so I shouldnt really comment,but if this was palmy, rotorua or nelson there are guys at these tracks that make sure there track mates win!I hate to say it but even marty probably would have wobbled infront of shane to atleast slow him.Does not look to good for teams champs for hb or any champs if they cant get there own cars home at there local champs.Please someone put me straight if I am wrong. Well done the palmy boys!No wonder you are always on top!  |

Don't get me wrong im a huge palmy fan, but feel consistancy should be the winner not a 1 off race??
its a shame that bay have some orsome drivers/blockers and they cant get a 1/2 finnish in a home event,
well done to Shane Mellsop who was consistant ALL night,good to see smoken joe up there too

I also should say the people who should be most upset is Shane and Terry Mellsop,they have done quite abit for hb speedway and they get no help on nites like this,no wonder guys contract to other tracks.Well done "Mr Consistant" Shane Mellsop!

Was a well run meeting.
Bit disappointing there wasn't a bit of biff in the superstocks but the racing was still hard and fast.
Best i've seen 95p go and was unlucky not to get a top 3 finish when he got caught up wth 4b and both lost a few places.
Not keen on these one race finals though.
Well worth the trip over from Palmy.

Clive did really well, don't know who's idea it was for the one race final but was very disappointed with that format before it all started sucks for contact classes, track surface had good pace last night and held up well. godd to have 23 entrants Mr Rees and co thought it would be safer at Stan Hickeys 60th lol
