Back2back WOO HOO, and I am also glad after watching video hub last night, that down here we primarily have Pits Media telecasts, and they aren't scared of showing action. Not like what Barry said, something is going to happen, and Video hub switch away. I also felt for Auckland, stolen I reckon |

I also felt for Auckland, stolen I reckon I've seen plenty of the Pits streams with exactly the same problem, partially it's the nature of the beast. Big difference is when something does happen the Pits leave us with no visual idea of what's going on, no such problem with videohub this weekend. |

Well done the Glen Eagles, absolutely earned and deserved the big win. Big thanks and admiration to all the teams that took part. Heck it was good watching despite the frustrations of the live stream at times.

Well done Glen eagles, been the form team of late, in the last 5 palmy teams, excluding 2022 obviously, they have made 4 finals, and won 3 of them.
They might not get the 1,2 or 3nz plates on any of the cars during a regular season, but come teams time, they just so disciplined and don’t end up wrecking their own gear most of the time.
Also good to see 74a get rookie award, and that pom the other award, which could have easily gone 66a Tarrant, but not my decision 😂.

While stones are thrown at Video hub, quite a few threads here talk about great win by, but don't mention who the opposing team is.

Not like what Barry said, something is going to happen, and Video hub switch away. I also felt for Auckland, stolen I reckon I would go as far as to say they were actually better tonight than Saturday and Sunday nights, but the bar was pretty low. An example tonight was in the final with the 10r pushing the 971c (from memory) sideways down the straight at a reasonable speed towards the wall, and we break away to Harley Robb coming off the turn without another car in sight. There were other major turning points missed. It's bad enough when the commentator is getting excited about something were are not seeing on screen, but it's even worse when the commentator is getting excited and we ARE seeing it on screen, only to cut away just before the point of impact. I lost count over the weekend how many times that happened. I must say I lost a certain amount of interest once Auckland was so cruelly eliminated. They were so much better than their 5th place shows. I'm not sure they would have had anything for that clinical Glen Eagles side, but second would still read better than fifth. They deserved better. Roll on the Auckland Teams Nationals. Barry B |

It was 4 vs 1 after only 5 or 6 laps. Mig Rumney tried for a few more laps, but what ya gonna do? The semi-finals so often determine the final result, dependent on the amount of damage suffered in winning the semi. Barry B |

Previously with the paper scruntinering sheets all the drivers signed each others so they could drive any car but now with the "App" not sure if that's allowed The hardest part is readjusting seat belts for the driver this can take some time , as some are mounted in awkward positions These have to be perfect. End result is not good. This is why they wanted to bring in 6 th drivers own car That's why Ngatai is the perfect 6th driver, he pretty much owns most of the cars in the Eagles team. They also had paper scrutineering cards for each driver to sign as per usual. |

I personally think and i was there that the GB vs Whanganui race was the best race as it was full on action especially down turn three with a pile of cars trying to get off the fence, the Poms seem to be able to keep their cars going to the end so well done to them.

Everyone going on how great the Lions win was, but NO mention against who, only clue was 3NZ left up wall for several laps but if you didn't know he was a V still in the dark as to a clue. Broadsides thread clarified it was against Wanganui. Go Slideway R.I.P. ,certainly miss his photos and updates. Kokpit Media did as well as they could to build up, hampered by weather and also not treading on toes of main provider. One of it's presenters should do a bit of background research on teams or any of it's guests to give the presentation a bit more polish but that's being picky , it's FREE. |

End result is not good. This is why they wanted to bring in 6 th drivers own car Not just seat belts, but seats as well. When Max Holloway was ruled on on Sunday night, the crew put Gerry Linklater's seat into the 81V car as he wouldn't have been safe trying to shoehorn himself into Max's seat. In this case they were fortunate it could be done between nights. Seats are pretty much custom fitted to drivers now to keep them firmly encased. |
