[iV8SC11-R03&04] Clipsal 500 Adelaide 17-20 March

**GTRMagic** · 13 Feb 2011, 07:53 (Ref:2830434)

Not yet Jamie
Not yet James
We're off to Adelaide
For some more mind games
Its our V8Supercars
Its second to none
This is Fair Dinkum (sheds?)
Aussie Formula One...

Adelaide Alive, Adelaide Alive...

There's no other race like this...

So... after some processions, some obsessions, some surprises, some continuation on a theme... who will get their car percolating at Adelaide?

Will the 888 rollercoaster slow down, will HRT's speed up.. is SBR a real threat.. can Kelly Racing keep the Kelly Barge in the top 5.. Will Team BOC have a sponsor on #14?

So many questions.. 5 weeks till they are answered...

I suspect that the 2 HRT drivers will win one race each... we shall see

peckstar · 13 Feb 2011, 09:54 (Ref:2830471)

you forgot yo mention...

It's action packed

fomoco · 13 Feb 2011, 12:12 (Ref:2830524)

Should be interseting, Seems the usual suspects are yesterdays news, and a few others, low qualifying but bring home in the races. Stratergies paid well in race 2, a follow on the last three rounds from last year.

So big budgets, Big names, can be beaten.

Should be a cracker of a weekend, look out for some new names in the top 10. David Reynolds Michael Caruso Jonathon Webb Alex Davison Shane Van Gisbergen(first win due) Greg Murphy(been awhile) Paul Dumbrell
Karl Reindler Steve Owen Waren Luff Tim Slade

and few older guys, Brighty etc. If you go by qualifying, poofteenth of a second difference between top 10-15, then stratergy is the big factor, tyres fuel loads, factor a yellow or two, should make for great racing.

Now that TDR have sorted their cars , Might have to give tony a chance.

I am heading over this year for my first Clipsal. Going with the ute team that I do the signwriting for so it should be fun.

stmookeyj033 · 21 Feb 2011, 13:33 (Ref:2834630)

Think it may be similar to Abu Dhabi. Race 1 a borefest, Race 2 a crash fest with a tight finish. Think that it will be a T8 benefit too BUT I expect HRT to go well here as usual and also will pick a Kelly brother as the dark horse.

Hey, not bad!

Got next week's lotto numbers?

Axeman444 · 21 Feb 2011, 22:11 (Ref:2834914)

good to see the Motorplex threat to the Clipsal will really cement peoples minds in support of the development won't it... not.

talk about biting the hand that casts the vote! idiots.

why not stake out a greenies convention rather than something of a similar interest group?

Mixer · 22 Feb 2011, 05:52 (Ref:2835024)

Well your average drag fan aint the sharpest tool in the shed.

TSR · 22 Feb 2011, 08:57 (Ref:2835063)

Would like to see Frosty up there on the top spot, but gut says it will be a 888 weeeknd

peckstar · 9 Mar 2011, 08:54 (Ref:2842551)

If someone gets a little bored, can they troll through TSR,s posts to see how many of them end with the laughing, roll around on the floor symbol.
He obviously considers himself to be quite amusing, possibly just to himself ??

.......or he could be just simply be happy looking at Garth Tander's miserable results at this point in time.

Mmm, instead of playing the man (prematurely), some people should be very disappointed at their manufacturer being dominated today.

Courtney Crashes Bike Into Ute

Attempting to emulate Mark Webber??

Article says he isnt badly hurt and all will be right on the night (as always?), but you just never know about these things!!

Despite Mr Phelps reporting that it was 'last week' it actually happened on Feb the 26th according to JC's twitter:

Quote:

Great ride with @JonathonWebb this morning. Had a little shunt with a ute. The guy freaked out and tried to take off with me stuck under it. 1:42 PM Feb 26th via Echofon

Nothing like stretching the truth to make it sound a bit more exciting though I guess

So does this mean that the article that GTR quoted in the Silly season thread writing by Mr McKay is more factual that what Mr Phelps has written?

Factual? reporting? if those two are involved?

Marcos WTF · 16 Mar 2011, 13:47 (Ref:2846800)

Where to start?

Crashney's been too long at djr's " its always someone else's fault"
seminars.

So he's "along side" and Webb " locks it up", then he " slams into him"
Doesn't add up. Then " Webby started yelling at him and he freaked out and took off. It started to drag me down the road and I had to get out of there pretty quick."

So was it a hit'n'run ?. More spin by the most over rated driver in the field.

Is that the most over-rated driver with a championship under his belt? The most over-rated driver that won last time out? The most over-rated driver that has the number one on his car?

Also, I'd be keen to see your witness statement... Given that your categorical and precise denial of the events appears to indicate you were there.
