yes 2017. When long and stanaway got rolled in about 1 minute of each other vs mustrangs. However hemi had his lawn mower out and althrough the hawke eyes were well beaten by the mustrangs. Hemi got relegated one place and steve jude given the win. Never understoodthat. They had jude pined to the wall. If they didnt let him finish would of been a different outcome. But the Hawke eyes were through to the semi final where they and the panthers smashed each other in a brutal semi which the hawke eyes won.

I thought it was Ward who got him.

2017 Wayne Hemi rolled 41b in turn 4, shortly after Jayden Ward rolled 87b on the front straight.

They were however. Ehen the reds came on to remove long. Stanway was full pace and they guy who rolled jason was stationary. They put stanaway next to him. Which i found frustrating and as a consequence rolled stanaway. He didnt have the right to. Its hard i guess to get right. But would love a ref per car. Because something as simple as red lights and timeing can play a huge bearing on the outcome of the race. But at the time hawke eyes were one two. Long made a mistake. And stanaways roll shouldnt of happened full stop. So in a way i wasnt to upset with it.

An article from the local newspaper. Unusual to find any newsworthy stories amongst all the advertising that dominates so called "news" papers these days!

Just my thoughts after the team champs and yes both of these guys made them selves unavailable for teams this year
The Hawkeyes definitely missed the on track presence of the cool head of Jason Long .This guy can read a race and I am sure he would have made
A real difference to the Hawkeye team .He was really missed . Tom stanaway was another missed for the Hawkeyes.His speed and amactley prepared
Car are always at the front of his races. Let’s hope for the Hawkeyes team and supporters That both these guys are availabe for teams racing next season.
Go the mighty Hawkeyes.

If Quinn Ryan wasn't excluded they would have been right up there. As much as I rate Jason Long I am not sure both of those guys would have added more than the guys that raced, and to be fair, would be an insult to those that did.

Further more big races next year with Panthers and HB not seeded. Will make for some big match ups on the first night!

I don't think stanaway has been the same since Rees drilled him off the end of the straight.

I got to disagree with you not quite whole heartedly but almost. Long would of made a difference. But this team was good enough to win the event withhout long. Losing mike mac race one. That really did hurt. But thats teams racing. I thought they were great without him. Piped on the line in a second place vs auckland. However coming the next day with huge damage and a driver down for finals. Your never going to do well. So while long would of made a difference. We lost two cars vs the gaints and the toll of the weekend was obvious.

I wouldnt have stanaway in my team if i was a selector and instead go with hart. Boy he was impressive.

[mordecai]

Yes I'd change Mike mac for Jason long
Tanks r holding teams back

[go29]

They did miss Long due to his ability to read a race and they looked lost after since losing Mike Mac.
You could tell 166B and 46B were the runners and 98B and 66B were the blockers - there was no diversity. So in their race against Gisborne on the second night, as soon as they lost 98B and 66B, the other two just kept running.
If Long was there, he probably would have noticed what was going on and changed into a block role. To be honest I think Quinn Ryan has done enough teams racing that he should have picked up on what was happening, but I guess in the heat of the moment it isn't that simple!

Your asking a guy to do something he cant do. Remember him pushing Humphries around in a round off for 4 laps and humphries had no gearbox was it? Once he went into block mode couldnt move one car.
