You will not get many teams racing type hits, so don't expect them all the time. |

Westbury in the supers has to be the master at the punt and pass he did it at nearly ever corner. very effective

Kev Smith on Friday night top scored his group, not only by being quick, but also effective in the punt and pass. Frankie as usual is a master at it, but was putting those hits in a bit harder than I have seen him doing here before, and he managed to do it to Westbury to get an important place and point in the first heat. |

yeap,i was there also. i agree the hampton - collingwood incident was hard hitting, but apart from that it was pretty boring. was hoping some of the big names of nz superstocks would of done abit more to stop the pom taking victory. instead of leaving it till the last lap. thought the kiwi big names that didnt have a chance of winning could of done more.

come on joker, there was 1 good hit in the third race( collingwood - hampton) the only other hit was on weiman. second to last lap. one flat tyre. mate, im no expert, but it takes more than that to stop a stockcar.

The 240's have renewed my faith in superstock racing. They were getting a little bit tame but if the last two nights racing, in both the 240's and the "next best", continues then I'll start following them again. A first timer sitting next to me was even impressed with the ministocks, a big call when being compared to the rest of the racing. He's a convert.
