And includes his TCM franchise.

Would indicate he is another to leave TCM

Is he afraid of coming XD?

TCM really needs to have a good hard look at itself , before only Bowe and Johnson left.

Car costs are completely out of control.
Adam looks like he is racing in the Dunlop Super 2 with Matt White. ut it is not confirmed yet.

Well it is probably cheaper to run in the Dunlop series than in TCM the way TCM costs are going.......

Team Johnson picked up an XD in the last week to start their build process.

I wonder if Jim Policina is going to run the ex Garwood Torana in this years TCM?

I always love the amateurism of the TCM website. It gives one a chuckle.

On new release on Adelaide season opener it says:

The third race will be at 12.45 on Sunday

The fourth and final race will be 12.30 Sunday just before the 2nd Supercars race.

Am I the only one confused?

Interesting to see that Mr Fisher had a heavy hit in his Falcon in testing this week.
Pilot seems okay, more than can be said for the car...

Doesn’t confuse me personally. I know that mistakes get made & schedules change so the actual event program leading into race weekend is a better bet.

Plus I don’t go looking for websites to pick holes in.

Just found the vid.
The team bought my old XY a couple of years back after a Clipsal accident. I've followed their progress (and setbacks) closely ever since. They've had more than their share of the setbacks

they do seem to have had their issues, few motor issues of recent, especially after a big rebuild 12 months ago. And they have just lost a sponsor

The people I met in the team including Andrew are really great people.
Would be nice to see them get a clean run for a change.
Fingers crossed there's enough time for them to prep for Clipsal but its getting close now.
