Who'll do what in NZ?

Can anyone beat Murph?

Will SBR bounce back?

Can HRT find form?

What of the other NZeders? Baird keep it in the top ten?

What of Richo? Still on top?

Will any other ford pull their finger out and shake it?

Who'll have a Barry Crocker?

How do New Zealanders find sheep in long grass???

You would have to think Murfs run must come to an end, but who will end it i don't know.

I think if TKR have the car speed, Baird will be in for another top 10.

i still think TKR dont have the straight line speed of the top teams yet. Last year they were losing like a half a second down the back straight, but were the fastest through the jennian holmes sweeper and castrol corners. I still think they will do well though

The thing is though Nicko, we can't compare last years car with this years car. They are 2 totally different machines. At Eastern Creek Mark Porter ran the 2003 car, Craig qualified 18th with a 1.3298 and Mark 31st with a 1.3492. In the race Craigs fastest lap was 1.4762 and Marks 1.5052. The have more speed on last year.

He had the 15th fastest race lap. At Adelaide he was 26th and 24th. So it may appear still a little slow compared to the top guys, but a big improvement.

Yes, all good things come to an end.

Certainly, they always do!

Can HRT find form?
I would say they have been unlucky

What of the other NZeders? Baird keep it in the top ten?
Dunno, could be interesting.

What of Richo? Still on top?

No doubt

Will any other ford pull their finger out and shake it?

I would have to think Murph will go great as usual but Marcus will be up there after a hard EC round

Evomike, team kiwi is alot faster but in Adelaide it still looked as if they were struggling in a straight line.

At least they got one of the best drivers in the championship driving for them

Can anyone beat Murph?

Yes, but they'll likely be killed on leaving the circuit, unless their name is Radisich, Wills, Baird or Jason Richards and even then, nothing's sure.

Will SBR bounce back?

On top, and the world looks rosy, down below that is.

Can HRT find form?

Form as in race results, not actual car speed, they need tp convert quickly now.

Baird in the top ten?

Why not, he's a good bloke.

What of Richo?

Steady the ship and keep it pointing in the right diection- no sparks flying but the points ticking over.

Any other Ford?

LMS/DJR

Barry Crocker?

FPR- engines.

Sheep in long grass?

I think I'll leave that one well alone...

Can anyone beat Murph?
Yes, Kmart is struggling for speed in the dry

Will SBR bounce back?
It wasnt SBR's fault Ambrose ran off the road....

Can HRT find form?
Depends if they get the Aurora humming... the cars look ok, but not like they are talking to the road very well at the moment

What of the other NZeders? Baird keep it in the top ten?
The TKR car is reliable, and has some speed, at least the equal of PMM at the moment. The thing isnt a slug in a straight line, but doesnt have the grunt of a HMS-supplied VX engine...

What of Richo? Still on top?
Not sure, the SBR cars wont take a pasting 3 years in a row....

Will any other ford pull their finger out and shake it?
John Bowe, Jason Bargwanna, David Besnard

Who'll have a Barry Crocker?
FPR... who else?

How do New Zealanders find sheep in long grass???
With a Blue Heeler of course....

Yes but it will have to wait until they move the race to the Auckland street circuit

Will SBR bounce back?
Hope not as i want to see Ingall do a 'operation bulldozer' to get some points for Marcus like last year

Can HRT find form?
It would be a brave man who wrote them off

What of the other NZeders? Baird keep it in the top ten?
I would hope to see JR in the top ten with some of that HMS grunt doing the job down the long back shute

What of Richo? Still on top?
Still on top of points with a top 3 result

Will any other ford pull their finger out and shake it?
Time for the Rat to bank some results

Thanks for that.

Seems that the race is getting a bit of build up in the general media as these video's from the main news channel show
