It did look like Dumbo thought he was racing for position, the lines he was taking

i agree there but Dumbrell did it all day he did it after his first stop, can't remember who he held up but it was a train of about 3 cars nose to tail.

Having a go at Paul Dumbrell for doing something stupid is like having a go at someone for breathing. He can't help what he is.
I thought there were some even worse examples of lapped cars not getting out of the way when Ingall and Tander were fighting it out during the closing laps Saturday. I don't think Symmons Plains suits the 2 compulsory pit stop format as people on different strategies were tripping over eachother all weekend. |

i really hope it was just stupidity and not some plan to save Will.
think maybe its a rule they need to fix up too. In Nascar that send the lapped cars to the back of the field in late race restarts, it creates an exciting race, but is it artificial |

Not sure if this is a separate argument, but what would people think of having a "Lucky Dog" like in NASCAR, (mentioned by peckstar) - ie first car not on the lead lap gets it back when there is a safety car? |

actually rombles thats not quite what i meant (but i am a fan in some ways of the lucky dog)
i was suggesting that if they have a restart within "X" laps of the end they shoudl move all the lapped cars to the back of the field |

good on WSR, Mr Coulthard and Mr Cruikshank to not blow up a stink and take the 3rd place gracefully, although i certainly agree there would have been team orders over the airwaves, interesting Mr Skaife and Mr Crompton didn't highlight it in the telecast.
WSR are certainly deserved of being my 2nd Fav team behind DJR... |

As for Dumbrell - either he was happy making a goose of himself, or happy to be told to make a goose of himself. Either way .... |

Maybe the oversight by the commentary team could be that one of them has a relationship doing rides in PR2 and the other is a brand ambassador?
Dumbrell's driving was pretty poor, especially when he blatantly looked to be holding up the non-factory driver in Ingall. If Ingall gave Murph a "middle one" salute earlier in the weekend, he must have near-on wanted to clobber Dumbrell!! |

I'd be the first one to go for the conspiracy theory regarding Walkinshoddy dirty tactics however ... it is Dumb-Bell we are talking about here! What has changed?
Evidently, he asked his engineer "What are these silvery things on the side of the car and above my head?" |

Dumbell was thinking of hey Dave thexton did this, so can I, but he forgot one thing, Dave was a decent bloke, no a goose.
Note to Dumbell look to right, look to the left, look to right again, then if the road is clear of traffic .................................. |
