As the Red Team return to the front, so to do Total Team Red, with a handy victory over Chrysler 101 Racing and Australian Motorsports. The most exciting racing, however, came in a five-way door-to-door knock-your-wing-mirror-off dead heat for seventh place. Who said the minor placings aren't hard won?
Congrats to champion champions Mark Skaife, Todd Kelly, and Shane Price

Hard Charger Award
While most teams were content to collect a few places here and there, Australian Motorsports set about swatting teams away like flies en route to a stunning 24 place gain. Team Liquid Motorsport took back 12 of last round's losses, while Kmart Racing also rebounded 10 places.


Biggest Loser Award
It may have worked for Total Team Red, but the mojo failed to rub off on Tom's Red Army Racing, as they fell 17 places in the standings. A number of teams were willing to follow Uncle Tom down, including many suffering after their 15 minutes of fame at the last round: Squadra Darkness (-15); Hazzard Motorsport (-14); Team Tiger Racing (-12); Brendon Engineering (-11); Hayden Craig Motorsport, Sweet Hog Racing, Bahodietek, and Total Domination Racing (all -10).

I don't think we've ever seen this before in four and a half years of the V8SCFC: we have a tie.
Below Average Racing and Chrysler 101 Racing are now locked together in battle at the top of the table, 14 points clear of Team Bourbonphone. Defending champs Club 27 Racing hold 4th, just ahead of a three-way tie for 5th.

After a hot start, Pinnacle Motorsport continue to slide in the standings. Gaining fast, Scuderia Cavallo Ferro have marched to within 13 points of the lead in the Battle of the Mods, while CelciusSport, despite improving overall, are still quite some way behind.

Eagle Motorsport Crack Top 20

After an outstanding round by lead driver Mark Skaife Eagle Motorsport took a timely 5th Round Placing to move us up to 18th outright in the Series. The other 3 drivers are all proving their worth and are looking forward to Hidden Valley.

[Pro Racer]

wprst round of the year, we are angryat the mechanical faliures we had this weekend JC race 1 Murph R2 and are angry with Steve owen for taking Lee Holdsworth out twice in the one round. rumours around the paddock are that Team Owner/Principal Brendon was seen going into the RNR garage and that a heated argument erupted between him and Stev Owen Team Owner Brendon said "it's extremly disapointing to go from 3rd to 11th, it's going to be hard to fight back from here but we are hopeful in Darwin, it was a up weekend for us but we will be back even harder so watch out".

[M-Kart]

Glad to be back!

I've been away from the forums for a while, but have noticed my teams slide down the ladder a bit.

But, thanks to Chrysler 101 Racing's Drivers Mark Skaife, Steven Johnson, Will Davison, and to a lesser extent, Shane Price, we are back with a 2nd overall for Eastern Creek, and back to equal first on the championship.

Bring on Hidden Valley - Traditionally a good place for Mark & Steven.

Woohoo top 20!!! on the way to the front

[Chatters]

WOOHOO!!!

The partying is going to continue all the way to Hidden Valley for Aussie Motorsports. First podium finish of the season, and the hard charger award. YEEEHAA!!

[Harves]

What can I say.....Our first round win!

[liquid drano]

Team Liquid Motorsport is back. Bring on the valley.

[Boxy]

Ho hum round for B.O.R.I.N.G...

Lucky Skaife's luck turned around, otherwise it would have been very embarrasing.

The axe is dangling Max..

Team 3 Mobile Network:

Team Mobile 3 had a hard weekend with Lee and Shane have some problems. And Steve Owns problems was not going to help the team at all. The only driver that helped the team was Todd Kelly (2nd overall at eastern Creek).

Liverys comming soon guys.

[Average Punter]

Below Average Racing would like to insert the correct brand of brake rotor into the nether regions of one of its race mechanics after the Race 3 exclusion of Jamie Wincup cost them heaps.....

[Prickly_Goo]

We dunno anything about the wrong brake discs

But we dropped a spot, dont worry Team Recar/Cartrek Racing will be back at the valley

Squadra Darkness can only quote one line from Mr Razor's rambling's: "Not. Happy. Jan!!!!"
