Rees hasn't really been in the form he has in previous seasons so not such a big loss as might have been in years gone by, what is more concerning is that with the number of superstocks palmy has is that people are struggling to name a replacement driver/car that is currently racing and up to the task of teams racing. Are the Mighty Panthers going to call on a ring in!? Give it in Hes built 30 odd cars in off season plus get 5 cars ready for himself and family ,has a wife with a fairly new baby,when they go to races it must be a headache to transport 5 cars, you look at all the race meetings he has been to from xmas to now  probably sums up how he feels some days |

Oh and to top all that off he blew the motor in his truck on the way to the 240s, so has had to sort that too. |

The rees racecars facebook page was wishing Andy McCabe luck in stepping in to the 5 for the teams, guess that should be all that's needed to put an end to all the speculation

Penn , Joblins ,Barr , McCabe,Hemi are all dedicated Palmy registered drivers and can credit their success in racing to the Palmy guys that support them at the big meetings. I doubt that they would have obtained the same success if they were racing out of their home tracks . Get the picture McFly , these drivers are staunch Palmy drivers and have been for many years [ not ringins ] Get over it . Take a good hard look at some of the other teams that are heading to Palmy and see how many are not registered to their own home track . I think you have tunnel vision .. Settle little man. Have another read and a look at little face thingies - just cause you seem to have got out of the wrong side on the bed ill explain for you - I was putting the same type of comment up as Beachboy normally would have in the past. Seems to have a sore point for you though eh. Clearly I hold the drivers mentioned in a higher regard than you though because I believe that they would be prominent and successful without being Palmy registered. Remember that there have been several non Palmy drivers that have had success at the big meetings as well!! Tunnel vision..No. But I definitely do believe that concentrating large amounts of a single class in one area is to the detriment of the sport, and the spectical. Anyway, this is a discussion board, and as such I and anyone else surely have the right to post opinions, even if they do differ from yours. |

Six pages of speculation now. A few facts;
1/ Is Pete currently out of The Teams meeting next weekend? Yes.
2/ Is there a process whereby he will be back in? No.
3/ Is there a process whereby he might be able to get back in? Yes.
4/ Do the Panthers have a Plan B in place already? Yes.
5/ Am I going to tell you what it is? No.
6/ Has anybody on macgor's guessed what Plan B is yet? No.
7/ Am I going to tell you when you do guess it right? No.
8/ Pete will be on the radio Tuesday morning, where at least some of the questions asked, will be answered.
Let's do it on the terracotta,

Is there a process whereby he might be able to get back in? Yes. I had a reply written up asking what process that might be based on my understanding of the rule book being that he had to take the stand down and it could only be reduced to 15 days. Then I had the sudden thought, he was KO'd, with no indication that he was concussed, and the rule book as far as I can see says nothing about what happens when someone is KO'd. So, is being KO'd treated the same as a concussion? Does the 22 day stand down still apply where someone is KO'd but no suspicion of a concussion exists? Or is it treated as any other non concussion injury as per section M6-10 of the rule book, which would require him to get a medical clearance before he can race again? |

I would say Hemi's biggest success was 1NZ when he had a W on his car and that was from the support of the other W cars not P car's. Who's he racing for at the teams champs this year Highrevz?  |

Are the Mighty Panthers going to call on a ring in!? That's a turn around for you Beachboy! Soi ill say it for you With Penn, Joblins, and previously Hemi, and now talk of Barr and McCabe - the team has had ring-ins for a very long time  They would certainly not look as strong if a state of origin type meeting was held!  lets not get ring in's confused with Plastic P's now  |

I'm not sure of the exact details and how it all works. I spoke to Pete yesterday and he hadn't been able to find it in the rule book. I spoke with an SNZ Director last night, and he wasn't 100% sure either. It will certainly require a medical clearance, and Pete is going to find out about the process early next week and go from there. It's certainly been achieved a time or two before. If he fails whatever tests he needs to do, so be it. There are no guarantees, just a process. Let's do it on the terracotta, Barry B |

Well as I said to Pete when I spoke to him yesterday, I planned to have one driver on with the draw on Tuesday, he was the only one anybody's talking about right now, so he was it!!!

Not sure if its been brought up before but just a question, Do stockcar drivers use mouthguards As a ex rugby player i have had my fair share of concussions untill i started using a mouthguard..We went to seminar on concussion and the Doctor running it said mouthguards reduce our chances off concussion as they act like a shock absorber when an impact occurs..Any way was just wondering if the drivers used them...On a personal note if i was Peter Rees i would give it a miss this year ,family and ya health first, always another race.. |
