Bathurst 1000!!!

imported_JacK · 04-10-2002, 11:38 AM

Only a week and a bit away! It's gunna be a ripper! Who do you all fancy to take it out? I reckon it'll be Cam McConville and Warren Luff in a surprise victory.

Or maybe Skaife and Richo if they team together.
BJ and BOwie might sneak up for a win in there cursed

ford

But I reckon Team Kiwi might be the surprise package, they had a good setup last year, and have got 2 good drivers in Simon Wills, whose one of the best drivers in the country, and Jason Richards.

But the real question is: Is there anyone still hee to read my post??

Although it's not entirely accurate, I know from the Lansvale Site (www.lrt.com.au, need to drum up some hits for their iste) that Ashby and Reed are not going to be there unfortunatley.

The favourites are certainly HRT. But my tip is for Brad Jones and Bowie to win because going on their form at Queensland they would have won that race if it wasn't for the two drive thrus. Also Bezzy and Captn Chaos could be up there as well.

imported_JacK · 05-10-2002, 06:07 AM

Yeah, they won the last ever Qld 500 (or at least Besnard did) They'll be one to watch.

Only 8 days!!! It's gunna be grreat!!! Can't wait to see Skaife win his second Bathurst in a row!

Be great to see Brock back, this is gunna be so sweet!

swardsie · 06-10-2002, 11:30 AM

6 Days to go!!!!!!!!!!!

imported_JacK · 08-10-2002, 05:17 AM

5 days!!!! I can't wait! This is gunna be the best Bathurst Ever!! Unless, of course, ford win, but what are the chances of that?

Its that time of year again , THE BIG RACE .Its
also the time of year that the ford vs holden fans start to make lots of noise about which brands is best and who gunna kick ass.The one a
like the best is those who say ford suck,holdens gunna kick ass.
. The funny thing is most of the so called holden lovers who just cant get enough of mark skaife &
HIV/HRT seem to drive corollas or honda civics (OR OWN A HRT HAT).
IF YOUR GOING TO PASS COMMENT ON A MAKE OF CAR
MAKE SURE YOU AT LEAST DRIVE THAT BRAND.
OR STFU .
DAVO D

GO THE FORDS--- IF NOT GO MURPHY .

Johno · 09-10-2002, 02:09 AM

Well davo d, I am a holden fan and I am sorry to say but unless the fords can maintain consistency during the race, because they will have the extra grunt down conrod, then it will be another HOLDEN WIN. As you can see by the QLD 500 I don't think there is much in it between makes now. Ford also have plenty of quick drivers, so there are no excuses anymore.

Also sorry to disapoint you mate, I don't drive a Corolla or Civic or even own a HRT hat, but I do own a 5.7 litre V8 VX Commodore (manual), that good enough for you dude?
