There is a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then, but will 58p be in there? At this stage if he is it would only be thru loyalty. EDIT; putting someone of the class and experience that 58p has just out of loyalty is no bad thing |

I would rate him as a teams racer ahead of many . |

going back to friday nite run off, has a rule been introduced to not allow drivers to stop in a run off,if so it was obvious drivers weren,t informed,a better solution would be to put in a time frame,as it stands now if a quicker car gets the lead a slower car has no way of taking faster car out as the slower car will/ can just crawl along,this could drag on (zzz)and on  and on . Does this also imply to superstocks,and teams racing,if not what is the difference, golly gosh it is all about taking the enemy out  |

Does this also imply to superstocks,and teams racing,if not what is the difference, golly gosh it is all about taking the enemy out As Macgor has mentioned elsewhere there was a rule change in the off-season. Run-offs were previously held under teams racing rules. They are now held under individual racing rules. As you have alluded to drivers can no longer stop, they need to be moving. Whilst it was fun to see drivers stop and wait, it also created a problem. That tactic relies on the leader continuing to race. There was a run-off last season where both drivers stopped. Under teams racing rules there was absolutely no obligation for either driver to move again. As it was the run-off went for around 10 minutes but they could still be out there now and there would be nothing anyone could do to make them move! |

If he pulls the It's both Waka's or none at all then he should be told get paddling. |

What is the actual definition of movement with regards to the rule in general racing? Bit of a grey area as does that now disqualify any cars that stall or get held motionless in a race? The current 1NZ stockcar was stopped for a while in that 3rd final race at BP last season. |

Not to detract from the quality of the racing, and those on the stream would have heard far more and far better than I did but have to congratulate Stumo on the commentary over both nights. It must have been a busy couple of nights, particularly Sat night. I know he had DP doing the ministocks but his updating of points , pairings and updates to positions during red light breaks in the race as well as the general race commentary were blimmin top notch I reckon. He is fast becoming one of the top race callers around Well done that man!! |

One thing I did note was there was a bit of 'dead air' in between some of the races where some music could have been played whilst they weren't speaking. (Maybe the Tape Deck had broken down) |

(Maybe the Tape Deck had broken down) Tape deck? Na to be fair the ol playlist does need updating though with some new beats while the calculator comes out. Between most races I was shot down to the pit board to gather points hence David calling the Ministocks. Cheers for the positive feedback team, bloody looking forward to a big one this weekend with the Superstock GP. Your time to shine with the Supersaloons Ramjam haha |
