Very lucky. Who knows maybe he could be back out racing this weekend.
Friend of mine on the weekend fractured a couple of ribs completely and minor punctured lung and was out riding ihis YZ again a couple of hours later.

I wonder if Waters will drive the #6 the rest of the year.

 

[ThomasJarrett]

Or Paul Morris, if Cam still has the Dunlop Series championship on the line going into Homebush.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Ambrose absolutely wringing the neck of the XBOX Falcon.

 

[NW48]

This is going to be a very interesting qualifying.

 

[Spacegoat]

There's some food for thought, I was speculating they might get Paul Morris back, maybe even Murphy, Steve Johnson is about,

Steven Johnson would be a good choice too.

Don't think there's any doubt about that. Tim Edwards all but confirmed it this morning.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is that a hint that Morris is old?

 

[Spacegoat]

Is that a hint that Morris is old?

Nah, just too slow.

 

[TDZdave]

Nah, just too slow.

And has enjoyed faaaaaar to much cake recently,

I know its an incredibly outrageous thought, but the TUSC has finished up, DTM to finish soon, Blancpain to finish this week also, it would be fantastic to see Ekstrom back, or perhaps a Vanthoor or Tandy,

Chaz Mosterts engineer Adam De(something) stated the car is repairable but a full assessment of if its actually worth fixing wont happen until they get the car back in the workshop,

Ekstrom has stated how much he wants to be back in a V8SC (and Bathurst, even though he'll have to wait another year) so if he can, I dare say he'll jump at that opportunity.

Andy Priaulx and Yvan Muller both have experience in V8 Supercars,
I think they could do well if they get a go

 

[05XR8]

They just did a piece on Bourdais. Don't see how he was touted the best international in a V8. He was in the best car with the best driver. Thing is, Ekstrom should get that title. Kept the car off the walls, finished top 10 and was faster than his codriver who had more experience.

My thoughts exactly. Ekstrom was simply stunning at Bathusrt that year in the XBOX Commodore.

And almost stuck the car in the shootout, was a brilliant effort, shame he was partnered with Any Priaulx, a good driver, but not in a V8,

Bourdais the best international driver???? They forget Jacky Incx won it??? And if they're referring to current racing, hello! Olly Gavin was on the podium last year...

Alex Premat was impressive last year and has been alright so far in 2015

And he put his GRM car in the shootout when he was a full time driver

 

[NW48]

Rain is falling.

Very mixed Top 10.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Screw the rain!

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Somebody needs to check Triple Eight's garage for a weather machine ...

 

[05XR8]

And PRA dropped the ball for Frosty.

Last year is proof that a high grid position is nice, but not absolutely necessary for a good result.

 

[TDZdave]

Wow some big names right down, Tander 22nd in the Hormone Replacement Therapy commodore,

 

[NW48]

Power: "I turned up last night and I wish I took that deal up that was on the table."

Hmm...

 

[ThomasJarrett]

Everybody shouldn't be too concerned about qualy since Mostert/Morris won from last place last year.
I'm happy with Scotty in P7!

True but, if your codriver is surrounded by a few (nut)cases, doesn't help either.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Well, they're going back out.

 

[TDZdave]

Some cars returning to circuit, but we wont see no banzai's,

Was hoping to see the 2.04s in the shootout, well hopefully next year, and I will be there!

Good opportunity to get a wet lap or 2 in to see how the car goes, could rain tomorrow,

I'm going next year as well. My wife said we have to go to see out the Falcon's last year.

That's that. Time to eat.

Gracie won't start last. Guess that's as good as a win.

Ingall and skaife hearing the thunder.

 

[CodeRedR51]

May as well have set the grid based on practice times is how I feel about this.

Missing it this year is crap! I will join you for a beer! I will sacrifice as many virgins as it takes

@R1600Turbo I agree, but sadly that's how it is, that's racing.... Hopefully it is a full wet shootout to spice things up, if its dry we can all but guarantee the results
