[V8 fan]

Strange, i would list Besnard in my top 5 drivers. What happend Besnard? three seconds off the pace, or are you still getting used to a GOOD car now? Any sarcasm in this message was totally not meant.

[BATHURSTFAN]

As a Ford fan I'm not expecting too much this year, but next year...

[Pedro]

The cream has risen to the top three holdens and skaife on pole for the first race. It will be interesting to see how they go in a race distance. GO HRT K-MART & TEAM BROCK.:cool:

[Aussiecollector]

Jr Johnson up to 15th !!!

Things have started to get better.

Now all we need is a typical GP start with Skaife muffing up the start (rare mistake, but considering it's the start of the season Gretch says it the new std Holden clutch they've fitted to Marks car as the TWR one had to go back to the supplies because it wasn't paid for !!!).

Ingall then plays the last of the late breakers game at turn1 & takes out the Bright & Weel in the other 2 TWR (sorry GMH) cars.

Lowndes then gets sick of staying behind GT after lap 1 one, gives him a little love tap into the gravel at msac (turn 3), now it's
Ford 1,3 & 4 !!!

That is until JB get sick of the Murph's blocking & it gives him a helping hand with his breaking at the Powerhouse on the final lap & Murph is sitting in the sand wondering what might have been.

Ford 1, 2, 3 !!!!!!!

My perfect start to race 1 of the V8's at the agp.:D

cheers.

ps you should then see the dust up the pits at the end of the race !!!!

Just 1 more sleep & I really can't wait.

[Aussiecollector]

My Monies on the first corner being the winner.

Did anyone see 10 news tonight ???

I see that Larko must have a few too many AU pannels he needs to get rid of before he gets his Barra.

And the prize for the 1st crash of the year goes to ............

..........................Mark Larkham !!!!!

I just hope they don't have to use Bargs car for spare parts, as I'd love to see how Bargs goes in the ulgy & slow AU !!!

cheers.
