Fantastic night last night and I thoroughly enjoyed the action. Unfortunately I had to endure another night of the positive bias and ranting of one particular commentator. (Maybe he will retire soon?) I have one request please for the comentatary team for the benefit of those on livestream - can they give unoffical points of the race at it's conclusion on qualifying night - it is only unoffical. All the best drivers for night two!  |

was watching on livestream last night' and the coin toss before each race was laughable. The looks on the faces of the lossing managers said a lot. If you toss the coin you catch it and put it on the back of your hand......

You will be a welcome addition to the team. Will need to crank up the volume as we could hear very little in the grandstand.

With the the first nightl entirely dependant on placings and points I just don't understand how they can't provide a simple full screen graphic on the big screen that shows the 5 placings and points for each team and the group points going in to the final race for each group. You have the screen guys - start using it for info and not just rollover replays |

Its never been the same since the late great Ray Tarrant commentated at palmy when 2XS was the naming radio station. Rusty is as bad as justin marshall is doing the rugby commentating

I think the infield guys do a very good job.I noticed he was carrying a FM receiver,clipboard with ALL team info plus a mic...which hand would be use to catch the coin?The Managers seemed happy to check the coin as it can up from the ground and often the winning Manager gave away pole to the losing Manager.Maybe handbag you gather your makeup in your handbag and find something for your whinge.Everyone around me had no complaints.Two complainers in 13000 people...who cares lol

This year we have some too. It really improved our night. I wish I'd got some years ago. They also protected my ears from the boom which makes my ears ring. Looking forward to using them at other tracks. |

Who's the commentator that keeps calling the drivers “Mental" all the time? It’s getting a bit old and not that great to hear all the time for the sport. Also wasn't that great to hear the him screaming down the Mic when the Rotorua driver surposbley got knocked out and telling everyone how that would be the end of his weekend because you can’t race again once you have been KO'd. That driver has family you know, a bit of respect as it wasn’t even a confirmed KO at the time.
Had to laugh when he said Wards Motor internals were all over the track when the Red light came on and then the car drove away at race pace when the greens came on again. Lol
Have to agree that the coin toss is such a Joke, how blatantly rigged can you get.

It is going to be another feast for the eyes no matter what happens on track and the BK series is just adding topping to the dessert. Several times last night you stopped him waffling during a period of silence to dish out results , points and other pertinent facts. Bloody well done. We keep getting told on night one that "it's all about points" but struggle to get any proper updates. you improved things on night 2 of the NZs as well , much appreciated and please make sure you are on deck for both nights next year |
