Mike Herbert (Read 3,986 times)

Just been to watch the 240s qualifying on YouTube, which has the Herbert runoff with Malcolm Ngatai for the 6th spot in their qualifying group on Friday night.

That's some intelligent driving there...both off the start, and again when Ngatai got moving.

Well done Mike. Great stuff.

you mind posting a like for that penman as i cant seem to find anything

[penman]

Only too pleased to oblige:

[Dirt_Fan]

Wow.some excellent tactics employed there.
Hard luck to Ngatai, especially after winning the repercahrge then having MAJOR diff issues which trailered him.

Spoke to Herbie Sat night (before the rain came) and he was rapt to get through. Looked like during the week the car wouldnt even be ready, but some great work by his crew on the thursday, and the rest is history. He achieved his goal to get through, and just wanted to finish the 3 races (main event).
;D

A bit of sportmanship I noticed from Mike Herbert, after putting 77P into the wall coming into the start straight, and no reds coming out when 77P stayed there, Mike Herbert placed his car behind 77P a couple of laps later as protection.

Anyone know if the car is still for sale?

[mike004]

Believe its all ways for sale. Make him an offer.

[penman]

Seems Mike is really an asset to the class. Pity to see the car for sale - unless, of course, it's going to finance a new car.

Great work just to get to Rotorua for him, from comments made earlier about the amount of crew work to get the car finished.

I did like the smart work on the brakes in the final lap of the runoff...he must have just about split his helmet with the grin when he saw Ngatai sail past him.

Impressed with him all right was on a mission hitting anything without R on the side in the finals Best Rotorua car by miles . ;D That Pommy guy 4GB was bloody awsome on the 1st night was hitting anything even put 2 cars up the wall good stuff ;That Jarad Wade was a cracker too Bit ruff call banning him The 2 Joblin Boys apparently wernt going to race in the last race if he was racing And our Dale Rob, O for Awsome DGreat 2 nights racing best 240,s been too

[stubbs5115]

If thats true about the joblin boys they just went down in my books, the crowd went wild for jared after the race, coz he was smashing the P. lol he was great entertainment. Correst me if im wrong but i was watching wade and he did nothing wrong, well at leat nothing different then what usually happens, he shoulda just got a fine or something, not trailered thats abit rough, he was using is front bumper how it should be, nz champs going to be interesting then

[stubbs5115]

Guess that depends if you're a Ngatai fan or not doesn't it.
