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

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

fomoco should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridfomoco should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
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.

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.

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.

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?

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 ??

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

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?

Maybe all they think they would see out of #88 is an empty track up front.

Well they'll get a good view of the whole field from #18 then won't they

But seriously they have a camera in #88, just not #888.

I'm guessing #11 (#51) doesn't have a camera because KR doesn't run (Pay for?) them? so Steve Owen has taken that spot that Greg used to fill.

I don't know how the financial things work here, but Rick Kelly has had multiple cameras in car recently with helmet mounted and suspension mounted ones at various times.
