Two Things to smile about !!!!
At least I can find 2 Things to smile about with Phillip Island - Lowndes Win - Yipee AT LAST
And The Carrera Cup Results for Andrew Miedecke ( a Wall free weekend - obviously) - Q 13th R 1 - 12th, R 2 9th R3 6th Another two race with that sort of progression and he might have won one. But hey Im pretty happy with the results none the less. Oh and congrats to Richo on a clean sweep. |

Mr Miedecke's car looks straight too, and he got on the on-track coverage!! Still a fit looking guy considering his chronological age.

Nah I think B.N. still deserves the big number 1, he's getting the best from his car and driving better than anyone esle out there on a consistant basis (save for his pit entry skills).

hear jeffs explanation of that when they interviewed him? He said he asked the girl who he knew was checking pit speeds and she said skaife was fine, so he didnt know why they were fined, "there must be a 'hidden' one", maybe because you are supposed to do 40 ALL the way, not just past the girl at the front of the pits. Anybody else get this impression or did i hear it wrong?

I just think at the time he was unaware of where it happened, no big deal.
If it was any other team manager nobody would have mentioned it, damn HRT bashers |

Lowndes' outstanding ability again on show- this time rewarded at last.
Not on outright car speed but definitely on the way up. Now they have momentum and Craig Lowndes will lift the team morale further with his outlook. After seeing the "corrected" points tally, at last we have a really close championship brewing with all the best drivers in close company. Great!! |

Don't forget Glen Seton in 10th place (corrected score) in the old AU!
I hope this team can go from strength to strength. |
