Panthers V Wanderers Come on Mr R, Really Let me guess rigged? Lol lots better this year. Cant fault it this year beach boy. Side note were the scrappers seeded? Because they did finish 5th and do have two unseeded teams to face. Everyone knows the draw is rigged and this is why its never done on the night infront of the managers, yes the promoter has the right to do it this way as its a private track event but its becoming a bit of an old tired trick now.

God some people amaze me how they actually survive in the big world. “It’s rigged, it’s rigged” blah blah blah. He only thing that’s rigged and not right is your brain.. you could see him pull the balls out... and anyway.. say it is rigged. Who cares... all teams are tough. Any team can beat any team on the night...

Mate Broken Record, I hate the Panthers as much as anyone but there are reasons for the draw being done earlier, it makes sense and it means we get TAB odds which is also nice.

Yeah, I'm sure the Panthers REALLY wanted to face the team with 1NZ, 3NZ and a former 1NZ in it in their first race

Rigged or not - cars will be put through the fence, thousands of dollars worth of gear destroyed and beer will be drunk. What more could you ask for...

So as I still struggle to get my head around all the different formats used for different numbers of teams entered - I am a Pom, please front hold that against me... - but who qualifies for night 2 under this format as there aren’t any groups? Is it just top scorers?

Is it just top scorers? Top 4 on points after night 1 go to semi finals 1v4 2v3 Then there is 2nd tier 5v8 6v7

It would be more convincing if the balls rolled out of a machine like the Lotto one in stead of old mate looking in the bucket before he pulls one out. Just saying. ( Head of the rigged systems society )

People constantly going on about a rigged draw are rather disrespectful to the teams and drivers, suggesting some are easy beats..... Looks like 13 teams of guys (and girl) willing to risk injury and big bucks to me.... good luck to all

90% of us want to see the P smashed , every year it's rigged according to the same people no matter who they get in there group.
Any team on there day can beat them , was it 2017 when the Allstars team beat them with a team of all sorts.
I think if anything the defending champs have the easiest two races , but who knows if a team gels quick enough anything's possible and they could be bundled out.

I think if anything the defending champs have the easiest two races , but who knows if a team gels quick enough anything's possible and they could be bundled out. And that's where this year gets really interesting. For once, most of the teams involved have had at least one warm-up race this season, so teams are more likely to gel than when the drivers have had to introduce themselves to one another at scrutineering, as has happened in the past. Yes, Hawke's Bay has a favourable draw (and as #1 seed, you could argue they've earned it), but it only takes one mechanical drama or a car unexpectedly getting taken out, and things can change very quickly. The whole draw is wide open this year.

Na that was 2014 and wasnt a team of all sorts. That was the year most teams were even. Two groups had every team winning. And hemi raced as a w. 2016 eagles beat them with a team of all sorts.

Hb may miss Jason long big time Hart is an excellent driver and will have bo problem filling those boots. And butcher has a believably quick car. And not his first team champs. I think this hawke eyes team will suprise you and shock you. And there is still clayton Hagen and adram groome missed out. Both are capable as well. Im not worried without long. Last time we raced without him the hawke eyes got 3rd.

Oh sorry brain lapse , it was the Glen Eagles I was talking about that done it in 2016, just got confused as Bruce Marx was in there team.
