Race 9! (Read 4,703 times)

[mike004]

Boy who would have thought these two teams would meet on the first night! Another tui moment

[maverick]

Well I know I wanted to see this race. And I assumed we would see it night one. Dont know how the draws and done and am not implying anything but would have put money on it that this would happen. Although I thought it would have been race one. Haha..must just be oneof those coincidence thingys. Haha ;D

[BarryB]

The way the 13-team draw is formated, with the 5 seeded seperated from each other and no unseeded teams (like Baypark) meeting two other non-seeded teams, the chances were relatively high that the Busters could meet the Rebels.

Can someone please explain the reason for all this anticipation for this match up..? Is there "history " here?

Id say there will be a few "feelings" involved. Possible grudge race. Also the busters are made up of majority rotorua cars and very good ones at that. I hope I kept my answer p.c enough haha

Because some of the busters were named in the rebels at the part of the season but pulled out & joined up with some other former rebels to form the team
Some people seem to have serious issues with the guys racing for the busters even though most of the drivers are from the last busters team

Don't forget that the last time the Busters raced they had a big following, not to dissimilar to the Tigers today. And they were very good at stopping almost anyone. The Busters were the last team to beat the Panthers at home until Nelson did it a couple years back.

[tony27]

Seeing as the busters were basically replaced by the tigers as the other team to beat it would be interesting to see these 2 teams to meet at some stage

Get it right , there was one only that jumped ship. None of the other Busters were ever named as Rebels for this season.

I wonder what the drivers in both team are thinking about this team lineup.
This draw is almost perfect for Bruce though, some big match ups through out the night.
The nerves are building already.

Couldn't remember the exact numbers as it was 4 or 5 months ago which is why I didn't put down a number, sorry if it looked like I meant more of the team had been

[mike004]

Was it one was named (Elsworth), one wanted to be named (Fraser), one was not going to teams race this season (Horse), one is pretty much a hired gun these days (Remnent) and not sure what Decke was doing at all this season. So there is a couple of guys in there that coulda, woulda, shoulda been Rebels, but for some relationship bustups etc etc

Guess race 9 will either be a doozy or a fizzer, Rebels to have too much speed and take this one 1st, 2nd and 4th!

All very well to have the speed Mike but other than Steiny whos guna roll their sleeves up & attempt to bust some Busters ;D

Having Steiny as captain is a bit like Buck was for the All Blacks, guys will listen and do as they are told, thay have some classy drivers in Scott and Lala, believe me Scott will give as good as he gets. Think the biggest problem for the Busters will be the dust is their eyes as the Rebels flash by! ;D
darn this is going to be good lol

They had merchandise on sale at Baypark loast Saturday night, so I'm sure the team will have stuff at scrutineering Friday afternoon.

Your best bet will probably be to go and see them in the pits, I am sure they will be selling them at their trailers.
