Is Everything Rosy?

I had a conversation today with somebody involved in a small way with V8 Supercars and he told me that after the race at PI there was a fair few heated words exchanged between two big names in the Holden camp. I was also told that there would have to be a fair bit of fence mending have to happen to get the relationship back to what it was before PI.

I am not naming names at this stage. I want to see if i can find out any more about this. If this all true then there may be a few changes in the house in the next few weeks or months which may change things quite considerably.

It's been on the cards forever! There's some volatile people in that group, and TW is one of the hardest to get along with bar none....

Interesting to see what happens (and if this thread survives the night...)

I thought it was common knowledge that those 2 don't see eye to eye... and that had nothing to do with one of them being shorter than the other!!!

I am sure I read somewhere that once MS had sold out of HRT (If he actually owned it in the first place) his days were numbered....

sad really, as much as I personally don't get along with MS, I do love his raw speed....

By the same token there have been people who (on the face of it at least) have got along with Walkinshaw fine (well, they've been around him & his empire for years), like John Crennen, Win Percy etc etc....

Holden welcomed him back into the fold because they wanted results - some of the Walkinshaw critics are keen to slag him regardless of the facts, most of which dont fit the claims.

Mainly because there may be something big in it. Maybe you may be close enough to the action to either confirm or deny it Harves. As i said i'm trying to find out more about it but at this stage can't find out anything, not that i have had much time to do any checking. It is funny though that if it is true there is nobody else that knows about it as i am not usually the first to know these sort of things.

It is not the senario that Williams F1 points at though.

I didn't know Kelly Snr had a drive. It is not Todd we are talking about.

The Mayor of Mildura rarely gets his face on TV but am I wrong in saying he didn't quite look the proud Dad after PI???

i am only guessing but it is logical that with the new caps that TW does not want HSVDT as they will eat his budget.

so bye bye Mr Kelly.

Whhoooooooooah chill harves.

If Average Jnr won the V8SC Championship in MY team, I would be absolutely, totally over the moon, and you couldn't get the smile off my dial for weeks...

All I'm saying is that he looked like a man with a lot on his mind.

For whatever reason.
