Skaifes car looked awesome - Murphy parked it with that time and has fresh tyres for the shoot out.

MadMick · 24 Oct 2003, 09:07 (Ref:761677)

Hmmm, nice top 10, did the Ford's run out of fuel or what ?? <g>

MadMick · 24 Oct 2003, 09:08 (Ref:761680)

Damn, how many posts do you need to lose the "Rookie" tag ??

Wizzby · 24 Oct 2003, 09:10 (Ref:761683)

I'd be rather happy if the race finished that way too...

it's 100 to step up Mick

vortexo · 24 Oct 2003, 09:31 (Ref:761695)

Well from what I saw of the Q session it's all Holden - basicly Skaife v Murphy.
Like I said Skaifes car looked awesome!!

Hopefully the Holden's can keep it together for the rest of the weekend & close the gap to Ambrose in the championship.

MHDT · 24 Oct 2003, 10:54 (Ref:761759)

Go the enforcer...

Dave HRT Moy · 24 Oct 2003, 11:03 (Ref:761764)

You see, it's days like today that I'm so very glad to be alive.

Left work early, no traffic, got home, showered, shorts and T shirt on, cold drink in hand, watched the ducks in the lake behind my house, had a nice dinner, come and sat down on the good old computer for an hour and read that Ambrose ran into a wall and missed the top ten and to top it off Skaife is fastest by half a second.

Just really a lovely day.....

More than 5 rows back and the most unforgiving track in the series. Ah yes, this will be a good weekend. I feel it in my bones.

Go Skaife, Go Murph and Go the MIGHTY RED LION....

Wanna buy some of mine?

Wizzby · 24 Oct 2003, 11:55 (Ref:761819)

Yeah I think you can spare a few

Sniffer Dog · 24 Oct 2003, 12:49 (Ref:761878)

We wonder if the "Tassie Devil" is a little distracted! Some juicy rumours doing the rounds at Indy car since last night, with the key one being that the above mentioned Marcos supposedly being offered (and accepting) a big - and I mean BIG - carrot from 888 Racing to join their squad next season!

How big? Try 7 figures! And plenty - 1.5 mil being the suggestion - along with 2 key techical people, one being Campbell Little.

These Poms will ruin this series if that's the game they're playing - let's not forget that FPR keeps "quacking" about "wait 'til we get out new engines from England!" Haven't we got Aussies that can build a race engine anymore? Do we have send our Pacific Pesos to the UK?

racer69 · 24 Oct 2003, 18:20 (Ref:762123)

Is it their problem if they can build better engines/offer better deals than the locals?

RaceTime · 24 Oct 2003, 20:51 (Ref:762249)

And just why will it 'ruin the series' if a team decides it wants to pay what it thinks people are worth?

The series will be ruined by other things anyway...

We are in a free enterprise system and money talks however what goes around comes around and unless there is a return for the investment then it won't last.

Hi Wizzby

As a long time Holden supporter I would normally say the same, but I think the series needs a bit of balance and Ford needs to win a few more races to keep people interested (I can't beleive I just said that

)

How much ??

Chucky · 25 Oct 2003, 01:17 (Ref:762395)

"These Poms" are probably the only hope this flea circus has of worldwide domination, etc. as the locals have mostly shown themselves to be the colonials they are.

FPR567 · 25 Oct 2003, 03:04 (Ref:762429)

Warm up results are looking a little better for SBR.Rusty 2nd fastest and Marcos 8th.

Nevermind · 25 Oct 2003, 03:14 (Ref:762433)

7th even for M.A.
