beejay I was on holidays down the Gold Coast and started chatting to this bloke wearing a HRT Jacket. Turns out he is a HRT employee until the end of the season. He went on about how Skaife was getting shafted as Tander was now the chosen one. Also said that he expected Tander Sports to take over what Skaife Sports was currently doing. Tander is not well liked in HRT by most of the employees, Skaife was and was also well respected by the majority. The reason Kelly is leaving the fold is starting to make sense to me know, he was a little cryptic with some of his answers but he said they would make sense in a little while. A lot of current employees are tied up until the end of 2009 expect some defections in 2010 if other new teams have a reasonable year in 2009. I take it he was talking about Larry's new team and Team Kelly.
From my understanding Walkinshaw was declared as unfit to hold a V8 license, this I think is where Tander Sports comes into it.
Unfortunatly I only chatted to him once and doubt I will ever see him again, although he said he wouldn't mind a job at PMM as the Coast suited him.
