[QUOTE=Boxy]Natsoft mentions 27 second penalties for cars #10 and #18. Anyone know what they were for?
QUOTE] Im guessing #10 penalty would be for the dangerous re-entry from Bargs when he pulled out in front of Jack Perkins at Dandenong corner. And the #18 penalty im guessing is for when Ellery got spun around at Dandenong corner #18 gave him a touch up. ( When Ellery had his colourful language) Last edited by ford boy; 4 Sep 2006 at 08:59. |

I reckon the Kelly brothers were good. Lowndes and Whincup were brillant to get on the lead lap and get 3rd. Brighty and Winterbottom were brillant, they will be brillant at the SCA 1000. Even though I am solider of the general, I think Ford are going to have a win.

Hopefully, this is the right thread. Apologies if not. Just a question regarding the drivers' helmets. I noticed that they had round pink-like stickers with letters on them. Any idea what that was about?
Also, do drivers have their blood type on the lids, these days? |

I think Tander was the pick of the individual drivers. Had the car not had dramas, no one would have touched them... not even 888.
Lowndes did do well to recover - the safety car put him down a lap, and it also gave him a lap back. So while he didnt drive a lap back, he did have to work through a lot of people - the relentless move up reminded me of the mindset of champions of past. I dont think Steve Johnson did a bad job - 4th place is nothing to sneeze at. Someone else mentioned the maturity of Rick Kelly. I agree, those last few laps would have presented him many opportunities to crash and barge through given he had a quicker car - but he used his head. I think the two kelly's in the toll cars next year would be a fantastic match, and GT in a red car next year would be even better. |

#10 getting a penalty? Excellent! No offence to Bargs, but you can't just come onto the track right in front of someone like that, even if it is a rookie. Perkins and Price might have gotten a bit higher had they not been stopped for so long. Tratty (or D'Alberto, whoever was in the car) did the right thing and went off into the horse track to get back to racing. Sorry Bargs, great race, but you had that penalty coming. Actually now that I re-read that, that does sound biased it's 'cause I'm a Perkins fan. |

Wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a driver wearing someone else's ovies, complete with name and blood type...
Just back from holiday, so I missed the live coverage we got (and the wife commandeers all the video tape available whenever we go away). We get the rerun at midnight Tuesday UK time. Video already set. |

There were many great drives and yes some quetionable moves and decisions. But you have got to agree that the Sandown 500 had everything and was so close right to the end.
We didn't see all the action but at least Ch 10 stayed with the front runners towards the end. Surely one of the closest and heart stopping finishes for along time. Great race. Now if we can just do a little work on the SBR brakes!!!!!! |

Garth Tander no contest. He had that race by the throat, HRT let him down big-time. Tander is a very under-rated driver, in my opinion he is one of the best out there, right up with everybody's crowd favorite Lowndes.

Yeah GT always comes across as a nice, welcoming sort of guy. Lets hope HRT give him a better car for Bathurst (even though I want the JDR guys to win!)!.

Agreed, I think GT could well be the new Holden hero after Skaife.
