hard to deem them as 'better looking' when they are shod with the same panels

So? who cares , nobody wants to join a povo version of the povo version of V8 Supercars. what I meant was the decals on them, and their much faster top speed = more exciting racing. no to mention the better drivers in the ST's.

better decals = better racing ??

dude, the only thing currently better in NZST is the quality of the drivers.

Isn't that a major factor?

Perhaps I can help?

When driving past Promax's place the other day, I noticed Joe and Promax painting grids on the driveway, on my return I note that they had only painted three grids.

I now wonder if they are going to have an open day for the public to view the cars.

promax · 1 Aug 2012, 20:13 (Ref:3114886)

and you didn't stop to help?

not cool at all J!

and thats why they will fall..I wouldn't consider myself a pro , But if I had a Chance of racing in that series Id prob be only 1-3 secs slower then those guys race each lap.

There are some questions :

- will the Short car be ready before the end of the season
- will the Short car want to race in a MSNZ series when dad's position in TMC (MSP) is tenuous and reputably in conflict
- when will Ross' car be ready
- where are the other 12 cars to make up a MSNZ Championship qualifying grid

Racer Mike · 2 Aug 2012, 03:33 (Ref:3115045)

I have heard the Ross car is parked, not happening.

1. FAS33
2. Daylight
3. Bargwanna
4. Ross
Yeah boi I just smashed the opposition!

Get me a licence, sponsor me, pay me good $ and build me the best car , and Ill take the title out on my Rookie year. I know how to race. I take my Falcon to the Drags and do easy mid 13 sec passes. Speed is no Issue for me. I cruise 210 km/hr on some Roads around my neighborhood. so give me a proper race car and then you'll see me go.
Hooraah!

isn't the Short car actually a Richards car?

and you know there won't be 15 new cars... not sure why you bring it all the time? dude, it's like ground hog day!

Because most have forgotten that 15 cars is the minimum number required to enable a class to have Gold Star Championship status.

Yawn yes it is, and with that inky will look smart turning up with the only completed car at the first round.

At least Holden will finally get a win in the class at least.

After all the only way to get a Holden win in V8ST was to handicap the Fords with a GM engine.
When they got on top of that they supplied gearboxes with no oil to slow them down even more!

But I digress......

I have to say that none of them look very far advanced, considering it's August now, first round in December
