Yep, and was not penalised.

Not even docked championship points.

I should probably get over it but it irks me that minor infractions can be penalised but that incident passed without punishment.

Amazing.

Especially for a guy Richard Craill described only this year as an "immense talent".

Didn't Skaife once refer to Wood as a 'Serial Pest' when he was getting in the way of the leaders.

Sound logic.
If you are saying that Wall is better then Wood, then I am lost for words. Wood scores a podium in his debut season, qualifies in the top 10 at Bathurst, runs in an alright place until he wasn't warned of the train by his team and he is worse then Wall. Not to mention Dale wins the Dunlop series title in his second year. He has some ability and a lot more then David, just hasn't had the car to get anywhere. Look at what he is doing for Erebus this year, Erebus goes from a mid pack runner last year, this year Dave and Dale bring them to the front and Dave puts it in race winning contention regularly. Remind me, what happened to be Volvo's worse season, 2015, just by coincidence to that David was there and Scotty had no pressure from his team mate. Yes there was reliability but that wasn't all

His team was at blame there, his engineer at least, trust me I have done laps around there and when you come through that section of the track its blind, he couldn't see who was there and they are under pressure to catch the train or receive a penalty

I like Skaife but he is a person who sometimes opens his mouth when he should keep it shut.

I never said one was better than the other. You did.

2014 wasn't Mr Wood's first rodeo in the maingame. He's been around the Supercars paddock a long time.

Erebus are still mid-pack runners.

Paul Morris said the same thing, if not slightly worse, of Mr Wood many Bathursts ago, for the exact same reasons.

Mr Morris rarely minces his words.

Morris is nothing but a clown. He may have won Bathurst, but still he knocks other drivers, yet he is the exact same. Ask many people who raced against Morris and they would probably call him a serial pest, including his team mates

This 'clown' as you refer to him, gave a number of pilots in the series their goes at the main game, and in other series. The bloke that was leading the championship proper until last weekend was a PMM graduate.

As well as putting his hand in his own pocket to run the Norwell Motorplex, the Supercar Ride program, the Super2 team, and soon to have some involvement in SuperUtes.

Like him or not, the credibility is there for all to see...

Mr Coulthard, Mr Slade, Mr Perkins, Mr Fullwood, Ms Gracie, Mr A. Russell, Mr Heimgartner... not to mention mechanics and engineers, that have all gone through the PMM school of hard knocks.

Doesn't mean he isn't a clown though. I know he brought people through but he was a dodgy driver that's for sure

The bloke's earned his fair share of trophies over the years. In all sorts of disciplines. Perhaps you should do some research...

Regardless, you can be successful and still drive like a clown. Look at SVG using him bumper to shove his way through, still has a pedigree and I would consider him the modern dirty driver or clown.

Yeah, Senna and Schumacher too.

Dale Wood is better than all of them.

I never said Wood was better then Morris, you have implied it.

I said Morris was a hypocrite for calling others pests when that's was he was in V8 supercars. I like Paul but the fact he is loved to tap.

Wood is an underrated driver, I am not a fan of him and don't hate him, I'm neutral, however I regard Wood higher then Rullo from what I have seen in the too comparables, yes Wood has bad cars and so does Alex, Wood had better results. Alex has some talent but its being hidden in Lowspeed Driving Motorsport. He isn't anything outstanding though like Mostert, McLaughlin, Pye those names of the 2011,12 Dunlop era who come up and basically show that they have an incredible talent. Mostert debuted in 2013, no prior main game experience and wins a race. Same for McLaughlin, except he had a little more experience. As for Scotty Pye, he is just someone who has never had a car to prove himself, 2013 he has LDM, 14,15,16 he has a slow DJRTP falcon and this year he gets another shocker in the Walkinslow cars, DJR has been his best and at that they were low midfeilders

Last year when he was teamed with Coultard,
I though he compared to him pretty good speed wise.

Both cars were equally inconsistant last year.

When Pye was competitive, so was Coulthard.
