Townsville (now with spoilers)

[Rob 18]

I hate when our cars collide into each other, there is no excuse for it & it;s happened to many times for my liking.

What Courtney should have done is got straight on the blower & appolagise to Jnr & that would have softened the blow, but to blame Jnr for not giving him room...........You must be joking JC.

JC needs to stop blowing his own horn & get on with it. FFS, he's carrying on like Anthony F[rt]ing Mundine..

Not happy.

 

[Gerry]

Interesting to hear James complaining over the radio that Steve didn't give him any room. [sa]

Perhaps he couldn't see because of the snot and tears from his man-flu.

 

[PaddockBasher]

Does this mean he is taking the blame??

 

[Gerry]

Does this mean he is taking the blame??

I hope so.
Everyone stuffs up from time to time but at least be man enough to admit it when it's you.

 

[Maddog]

Rule #1 in motorsport dont crash your team mate!!! stevie j awesome drive may be J.C. cant handle Stevie bein in front either way should not have happened.

 

[Bartman09]

Keeping my self cool, I think James was at fault and robbed Sj of a podium.
Shit does happen and Jc has a cold...Come on JmBeam!

What an Awsome Drive from Steven, is nice medicine for yet another peice of rotten luck..Hang in there big fella. If it ever turns around then you will win every race that year and then we won`t be worried about Today.

Sorry Ross but i have to disagree on a couple of points.

After watching the incident between James & Steve frame by frame James locks up the back breaks and slides into the side of Steve by at the same time Steve comes from wide of the track and cuts hard into the corner in turn giving James nowhere to go.

The other is i have to agree with the commentators as Ingall's 27th to 6th overshadows Steve's 4th down to 21st and back to 11th in my mind.

Not doubting Steve's drive though.

[DJR 17]

steve has got a right to be angry, he would of been top 4 for sure! great come back from 21st though to just miss out on the top 10, i hate when team mates fight like this, but tomorrow is another day,, hopefully a better one.

 

[TOWIE]

Sure hope Jnr doesn't cost his team the championship loss by 10 pionts that the end of the year... 888 must be laughing thier heads off...

 

[Maddog]

No penalty, at least a bad situation wasn't made worse

Blah Blah Blah Roland Dane. Just goes to show you have a short memory. What about last year in Townsville you tosser when Jamie (The Favourite) Whingecup belted Jack Perkins and nothing was done for a start and i'm sure there's a lot more too. Get your hand off it.

Just remember what the true meaning of FORD stands for idiot.

On another note i reckon Craig Lowndes is the "Mark Webber" and Roland Dane the "Christian Horner" of Team Tr888or

 

[4EVER17]

Lucky Escape!

No Regreats, but I hope it doesn`t happen again.
I think he has gotten away with it because it happened very early in the racing and it was his team mate. Another half a lap on and he would have got the panalty.

No more to say for now and just hope Both cars can work togeather today and maximise the result for JmBeam.

Come on Sj.....Get on that podium & Jc hang on to that Championship lead for us! #17[drive][drive]#18

 

[Bigcol]

Danes a cranker of the highest order.

It didn't concern his team so the Irishman should just butt out.

It's a bit rich coming from him when Gaymie gave Perkins a shunt and nothing happened and Craig Lowndes perfected the push to pass method
ie; pushing some one wide and then going underneath them

Here's to you Dane [f][f][f][f]

 

[Maddog]

The guy is an arrogant tool like his two drivers but karma is a bitch nice 24th and 25th finish for his team.

 

[Rob]

heading into the long break with a lead in the championship very nice

 

[Rob 18]

Cracker of a race & I must admit at the end I was barracking for PD with the hope of a Ford 1-2-3. Super impressed with Webby, star of the future for sure & Mothers got some great coverage on the weekend as well.

Well done James, I'm glad you sorted out yesterdays drama's with Jnr.

bring on P.I.[sc]

 

[Convert09]

Great sensible drive by James...he had that last crack at Frosty then got out of it...settled for 2nd. Tr888 go all the way to Darwin, then back to TVL, and now they are further behind than they were......nice outcome. To be honest though, Whinecup was flying....JC had some luck go his way today....after yesterday, thats a good thing.

Poor old SJ is having a bloody shocker...need to share the luck around!!

Great position to be in......could come away with a championship now with some sensible driving.....from our key guys...and the part-timers...lets hope it doesn't come down to the Gold Coast

 

[Fordv8Fan]

Anyone got any images of the Sieders racing cars from this weekend??

 

[Bigcol]

Great stuff DJR. Well done

Courtney increases his lead over Whingecup

Geez i hope the engine boys find a bit more grunt.

The DJR cars don't look all that strong in a straight line anymore with this new camshaft
