Bathurst 1000. With the addition of some of the Fujitsu teams, more cars the better...

in this order:
1. Bathurst (same as every year) will be good with a couple FV8's added.
2. Kelly Racing hope the Bro's stick it royally to Tom.
3. return of the top 10.

since Bathurst isn't in the poll team & driver combo's got my vote.

the further resurgence of Russell Ingall, a six way battle for the championship, (ok, four is more realistic, but i'm hopeful), to more emotion in pitlane, the press and on track, to more silly burnouts, and to seeing what some of the middle markers from 08 can do in 09.

1. I too am interested in what Team Kelly can do this year, hopefully they give Walkinshoddy a hard time, it would be nice to see the brothers win Bathurst.
2. Speaking of Bathurst.......can't come soon enough!!
3. I'm interested in how the street races go, Townsville should be well received, hopefully its the same in Sydney.

d) None of the above.

A decent points system would be a start, a format that doesnt change on TC's whim's.

But above all else, a 45 car Bathurst field.......

Sorry, dreaming about the good old days again.

I would love to see a 45 car bathurst field but you know the current drivers will ***** and whine after the race about getting held up and driver standards

Not saying it won't happen but I don't think it likely. Maybe the podium is possible.

Will be interesting to see how A Davison and Courtney run at their new homes.

Apart from that I cant see too much to get excited about for the series this year. Smaller crowds (yet the series will grow by its traditional 25% per annum) and less sponsorship is to be expected with the economic climate in 2009, the series will take a hit with possibly teams even folding before the year is out.

What I'm looking forward to (realistically):
1. Todd, Rick Jack and ? in Larry's cars giving some stick
2. A Holden championship

What I'd like to see (in my dreams):
3. 40 cars on the grid at Bathurst
4. Some serious dollars being spent at Qld Raceway
5. More enduros
6. My wife not spewing when I bring home the newest merchandise
