Why bother? V8 Supercar's never going to let him hold a REC ever again are they?
There are no chances left. |

You would like to think this is the case, but the TKR brand name is still alleged to be inherently strong, so if the alleged 2nd round in 2011 in NZ were to be real, perhaps an even larger Kiwi presence may be required in the series...

As GTR said, and Tom was kicked out by Kelvin. A decision that someone else might not have made.
And you know damn well there are always double standards for big battalions. Sure the TKR brad name might be strong but if the holder of the brand was going to try and flog it to anyone else you would have thought it would have been done by now. And any new New Zealand team would likely want a new identity so they are not limiting their potential corporate pull by having to begin their proposals with, "No we are not connected to the previous entity known as..." |

I agree with your post Falcodore,
But not totally with the last sentence...no pun intended. I don't want to be putting yet another good idea up for DJ to exploit, Like the twin Supercar rides I blew about way back. BUT... with what I've observed and heard so far, If huey and his cohorts were to evaporate with a fitting reward for their work.After the washings been put out to dry I believe the support may well prove to be greater than before. The concept is a winner and so are Kiwis. As I said way back,I know previous sponsors and knowing what they now know,if new owners come to the fore and the above recieve the recognition they deserve.I believe the suport will be there. You know, some of these folk couldn't give a rats about racing cars,But they were keen to do their bit for NZ Sportsmen and Sportswomen and to be involved with other positive people. AO1... these former $$$ need to see some closure,they are feeling a bit bloody minded now most of them, seeing the "simple lies/blatant BS/ confirming intensions...yada yada yada" posted by your alter ego. All voice concerns as they see Hot laps [Sold Out] as they are well aware that these new purchasers risk the same fate as themselves. And its ****ing them off! BTW did you see the new Fair Go programme Wednesday nite? DJJ...... and your last line... Thats where fresh support may come from as well IMO...Kiwis who know someone...who want to know the truth...and to see this turned around. Please dont try to capitalise on another of my ideas. This [ the EX $$$ Folks views ] DOES NOT mean "the brand" is worth more in your market place. It simply means, as you found a while back in Aussie,there may still be those who are prepared to buy you out. MO...If there is...go for it... If not...I recon you've screwed yourself. Here's another excerpt from that post way back..."the noise around me at the moment is unanimous" |

I swear I've read your posts 20 times opinion8head but I'm lost.
So typed this post into babelfish to see if maybe I'd missed something in the translation and I get I agree with its post Falcodore, but not totally with the last sentence… no wordplay intended. I don' t would like to state still another good idea, so that DJ uses, like the DoppelSupercar trips burned through I over way back. BUT… with which I' VE up to now observes and belongs, if huey and its Kohorten were to be evaporated, with a suitable reward for their work. After the cleaning believe to dry out set, around me, the support can be well more largely than before. The concept is a winner and thus is Kiwis. Since I said way back, I know preceding promoters and the knowledge, which they know now, if new owners come to the front part and to mentioned the above, receive you the acknowledgment, which they earn. I believe that is suport there. They know, some these peoples couldn' t give rats over current cars, but they were their point for NZ sportsman and Sportswomen to be done sharply and into other positive people with be included. AO1… this former necessity to see something latches believe to see it to a point, those bloody now most them cared and are " simple lies/glaring BSbestätigenintensions… yada yada yada" announced by their older ego. All language interests, how there they see the hot laps [sold off] it well to note that these new buyers risk the same fate as. And its **** ing it away! You saw BTW the new fair, to go to program Wednesday nite? DJJ ...... and your last line… That is, where new support of the IMO… Kiwis in addition to come knows, which knows someone…, who the truth knows… and this would like to see, which is turned around. Please do not try to write on others of my ideas largely. This [the ex people opinions] meant does not " brand" more is worth in your market place. It meant simply, as you when back on Australians found, can those there still be, which are prepared to buy you out. MO…, if it gives…, strive it… on if not… I outdated you' VE screwed itself. Here' s another excerpt of this post way back… " the noises around me are at this moment unanimous" It's all so much clearer now... |

Sorry guys,wasn't very clear eh.
Av punter, you translation is babelfish?... It was funny... let me try again. At the beginning... opinion8head 8 Mar 2009, 10:53 AM Post #1 Hi ALL Things are tough all over for OUR TEAM as you are mostly aware. Half way into my bottle of JD [just ice no coke thanks] some of my mates recon the writings on the wall, NEW START! Soo.. Here goes , Mark P successfully gains control via the assignee.. Bernie's there cos hes still owed heaps....And he still is Keen to see the original format followed ...Kaynes involved cos his bucks paid for the 888 Falcon that’s abandoned in Oz.. Ross and Jimmy wanna help cos they still need paying...and they haven’t had a change of heart re TKRs potential...the merchandise guys out of pocket but still sees the positives of being involved..Supply to satisfy demand...of customers/fans/sponsors.. Friends of the team in possession of the old Hot laps Holden ,well capable of Running it [from their own workshop/and the driving skills to pedal said cars out of the same shop ] to satisfy hot laps sold in 07 not yet enjoyed by purchasers...The same guys built and raced a Ford a while ago.. So..maybe they could get the Falcon going and run that for Hot Laps ALSO..how many teams run both makes for fans to enjoy? [My mates just filled my glass again and he’s wearing his old TKR Holden jacket, He thinks its a great idea].. A bit of banter regarding who might come out of the woodwork wanting monies overdue..can we get them back to help the new format TEAM..? .a unanimous YES we recon, cos passion for racing is what got them here in the 1st place..they are ****ed at DJ/ Evo tag team style ,without the twins its ALL GO they recon.. smokin'joe on a site dared to suggest things get sorted so well a 2 car team is where TKR CAN evolve..YEE HAAA!...sounds fine to me.. What about drivers you ask?..Well MAYBE ..IF..[out of ice this glass's got a bit more bite] my board of directors are getting rowdy now.. DRIVER LINEUP....Kayne Scott/Johnny Mac...........seniors Gene Rollinson/Chris Pither......rookies These drivers we recon deserve a fair suck of the sav..For starters.. Mechs /techs... An abundance of talent... previously selected.. possibly available in the future? Wages was their only issue or lack of.I doubt any of them would refuse a PAYING JOB. The passion for racing hasn’t left any of them, I’d hazzard that guess.. SPONSORS....I know of former sponsors that would renew their interest in the TEAM and would bring friends into TKRs Support Base once DJs gone and the noise around me at the moment is a unanimous DJs HISTORY...NO ONE wants to be DEALT TO by DJ any more!! DJs talent for finding quality people to staff the team was great, Bazz made reference to the fine young men /women that have been through the opportunity of a lifetime to gain experience in Supercars..Bazz is proud of his team..Why not make it something ALL NZ can be PROUD OF? Holden 51 /mountainstar /DJJ/and all the other positive posters ..ANYTHING YOU CAN ADD? Well folks that my bottle dry ..Feeling Fine..Right now anyway..Hangover due in 6 hrs ..my mates.. OOHHH pretty stroppy at the moment, free speech assured here, or look out. Hind sight being 20/20 I hope we all share these sentiments tomorrow.. Haere Ra That was then, |

I too have struggled to understand what is posted by opinion8head.
I think the link below sums it up nicely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uEMOeDZsA&feature=fvst or if not, I think the general gist is as follows: TKR Concept = good David John + TKR very bad |

I feel proud to have contributed to the triggering of such hilarious corruptions of the English language. Gives me quite a buzz as Beer O'Clock approaches.
Seriously, no matter how strong the TKR brand maybe, why wouldn't you start afresh with a new identity? New Zealand Racers (RacerZ) Kiwi V8 Racing The Black Helmets (variation of All Blacks, Tall Blacks, Black Caps etc) Silver Fern Racing NZR (pronounced En-Zed-Are) Bathurst Bound Kiwis (All) Black Thunder Racing (All) Black Lightning Racing Just for free a few tarnish free identities. |

Why is it that the supposed saviours of the Kiwi V8Supercar team linger around a rotting carcass embroilled in red tape?
If the desire and intent is genuine, they'd have gone and purchased a franchise and hit the track by now. Surely purporting to being ready to revive TKR is nothing more than a smokescreen to disguise the FACT that these saviours do not have the resources to action their desires at this present time. You ain't gonna get a franchise for nix lads. And to anyone in the industry that gave TKR a "line of credit", while the outcome is disappointing, surely some of the blame lays within for dealing with him despite his trail of wreckage. |

I have a TKR jacket in my wardrobe. It cost me alot of money and I would gladly wear it again if the team (TKR) was brought back but under a different management structure.
The name is out there and it is well recognised in NZ, espically in the 8 - 14 year old kids who have seen this NZ icon at karting events, Mitre 10 Mega, on the national money collection tour and espically racing on the TV againsts dads HRT or FPR. The majority of the NZ public and TV watchers don't know the behind the sceens B.S. and just want to support NZ/Kiwi cause thats what we do. If future management can somehow hang onto the brand then they allready have one hell of a head start!! |
