Pete Rees in or out? (Read 18,512 times)

[sonic33]

I thought I would start a thread of it's own as it is sure to cause some discussion.

From being knocked out or not, ( maybe he was looking down txting )

If yes, who will be his replacement?

It wouldn't be the teams champs without a wee bit of drama!

[chunkey]

He's gonnnnnnnnnnnne. Lock it in Eddy!

[Wildcat]

He was off to hospital for check up What they said at the track

[chunkey]

Don't forget this happened to Miers a few years back but he still raced at teams champs

was walking in pitts afterward just a bit of lack off wind we have to have him @ the teams I love the entertainment he dishes out and love it even more when he gets crunched

I've asked elsewhere but didn't get an answer so thought I'd ask here: Is the Superstock Teams a SNZ title and if not, does the 22day stand down apply?

KOed racing against maulers by all reports at pb teams event.

From the stands he appeared to be out. Rees hit by Tony palmer. Bounced off wall and appeared to be heading for infield slowly - but was definately slumped over. Must have been out for a second or 2 as he ended up hitting rear wheel end of pace ute, whihc had to be towed off with shock and suspension damage. Infield crew pounced on car and shut it down. While I wasn't on the track, and am no doctor, if he didn't have a "sleep" then I'll be blooming amazed. Looked out to me.....

I reckon Andy McCabe will be in the team now but the question is who will be the 6th driver possibly Chad Ace or Graeme Barr

The teams champs is NOT an SNZ championship event, but it makes no matter, every driver on every SNZ track racing under an SNZ licence is up for a 22 day stand down if they're knocked out. You can't have a rule where it didn't happen if it didn't happen at an SNZ allocated title, or going into an SNZ allocated title. "Hey Pete, you've just been knocked out. You can't race your Superstock at Track X's SNZ title next week because of your 22 day stand down, but you can race your Stockcar at Track Y as that's a promoter event".


Let's do it on the terracotta,

Barry B

Thanks for the update. Yeah, driving into the pace ute is probably not a good sign :-(

Most sports have a mandatory stand-down period after some losses consciousness. It doesn't mean that they can race after the stand-down they still need to get seen by a dr, and given the all clear. These are just SNZ rules but set down by boffins smarter than I who make a living out of their boffiness. As I understand it SNZ follows these rules - I may be wrong. From what has been written so far, i would be prepared to bet Barry B's house on Rees not racing next week. Which will be a great shame as he is such a fine teams racer.

I reckon Kev Roberts or Craig Humphries will be 6th driver now. No substitute for experience

Bring on the Supertanker ! :-)

[fastrota78]

Supertanker has not been out all season has it ?

Also whats happening with Craig, has not been back since the payback hit from Dion Mooney at Palmy (after Craig fired Bob Smith off end of straight) and seeing as Will-I-Am has been running the car...

So right they haven't driven but it's only a driver not there cars that are required

This i know, My point was if Craig has not been running his own car, is he still not 100% or is he just sitting back letting William run it.
I doubt Roberts would get put in the Panthers, as a driver or supertanker
