So did Gav have a fall out with the Rees as he quit the Giants & Teams racing saying he had moments he couldnt remember after races etc now he's back doing it?? I heard somewhere (think it was facebook and his site) that he felt unable to contribute after always being on the infield. Maybe he's seeing more time racing in this team. |

Palmerston North Panthers: Fm: Palmy FB Page (offical) Panthers Peter Bengston – Captain William Humphries Jack Miers Jordan Dare Wayne Hemi Manawatu Mustangs: Adam Joblin Scott Joblin Chevron Taniwha Gavin Taniwha Shane Mellsop Wonder why no Simon? Would have been quite cool to have a Joblin/taniwha team! |

Panthers likely to be Bengston Miers Humphries Dare Hemi. Hemi gets a free pass with the both or nothing contract. 3x Joblins to be in Mustangs Beachboy called it and nearly got the Joblin call right also. Not bad for someone that doesnt know the class  |

Must say the Panthers look the weakest they've been in about the last 6 years and the Mustangs the strongest in the same amount of time, must be a common reason there. Seems a real shame if the selectors have been forced into selecting someone based on a 2 or nothing deal, can see the likelihood of only 4 cars being used for as long as possible by the Panthers. Hemi doesn't cause a team to win many teams races but sure as hell can cost a win. Just seems funny how for the last few years the Mustangs have been 'his' team where he mentors the younger drivers blahblahblah, yet he's quick to jump when given the chance. It does leave the Mustangs in a stronger position now. |

Also congrats to 71p. For a while now he’s been waiting for his chance. He’ll have his doubters but I’m sure he’ll do good.

Where are all the tanks. Not many this year. Tanks have largely gone out of fashion in recent years and have dropped in numbers to where they were 15-20 years ago. I'm sure there will be another resurgence in 5-10 years time |

Its a joke that he calls the shots...2 cars or none...Most teams races the Waka ends up on its lid...but not sure Bengston will be much better as that car has had so many mechanical issues this season. I know it don't mean much on paper but the Mustangs look heaps stronger than the Panthers |

I had hoped panthers would have had the 2 Taniwhas, Chev has earned his spot & we all know how good Gavin is. Would have been an exceptionally strong team with drivers who were both fast & able to block
Looks like they were trying to get 2 strong teams & are looking towards the day that Peter Bengston retires from teams which can't be too far away by bringing some new blood into the mustangs

With a couple of ring ins they will have a strong side i bet. Wouldn't quite be the same without their theme song playing here n there ae.
They would make 12 sides too.
GB, P, P, H, M, G, B, R, S, W, C, N..... A and V struggling

I'm sure there will be another resurgence in 5-10 years time Was a year not to long ago (lot more recently then 15-20 years ago) that saw a majority of teams with a tank. But like you say not many floating about at the moment. |
