While that sounds easy, it would be a very long second night with gaps required between races especially with semis and finals. And way to hard on the car and more importantly drivers. It should be hard!!!!!!! It's not saloons! Yeah it should be hard, but to expect drivers to have 3 pool races, the a semi and a final all in 2 nights is just asking for serious injury or worse. Teams racing is hard enough on the body as it is. |

Why would it be hard on drivers/cars? to make the final 3 races on finals night in stockcar teams? so why not in supers?

Hmmm let's see, I can't see any reason why high speed, full contact racing could possibly be hard on drivers or cars? There are massive speed and force differences between supers and stockcar. |

So race smarter not harder. Bit of stratergy and blocking not kill shots |

Think 41g thought 1nz was leading and tried stopping him? Probably wasn’t expecting 3nz to be leading with that amount of damage he had.

Super saloon race up now... no curfew issues I'd assume?

Waddells rear tyre touched the front of Flynns front tyre, causing him to turn towards the wall.

From what you could see the Supersaloon final was good. The American was the only one flying around the high line. Why do they not put enough water on it ??
Final of the Teams was epic and an awesome final. Those Rees cars don't seem to take the hits and keep going as well as other chassis.

Interesting you say the Rees chassis don't take hit & keep going..Longs took plenty & was still going..it was more tyres & suspension etc that failed after an epic battle. Huge ups 2 both teams..best final for along time

An outstanding final to punctuate a superb night of racing. Often at these teams events you get one average night and one night where it erupts. So it proved.
The semi-finals were also outstanding, in particular Team GB vs Palmerston North. But the final was even better, a classic for the ages. Jack Miers with an outstanding block on Jason Long that allowed Dare and Humphries to catch up to the leading Giant.
Hawkes Bay a revelation across the weekend. A new look team that performed above their individual contributions. I had them in the second tier but they proved to be worthy semi finalists. Randall Tarrant looks to be a teams racing natural and that team can be well proud of what they achieved.
Super Saloons once again provided great support. Plenty of talking points with a few incidents and some quality racing. Pole Shuffle was a good one and there was enough action down the field in the feature to keep me excited.
