Bathurst 2014
« on: October 09, 2014, 04:32:38 PM »
Yeah yeah, someone had to start the thread....  :D

Now, I've gotta meet up wiff da others on Sat afternoon at Rainbow for the 2015 Nat Meet stuff, but Sunday is gunna be a cracker of a day for boating, but the idiots have resurfaced the mountain circuit and its suggested, its gunna be a fast race on Sunday.

Now i'm in a pickle, I don't know which way to swing.

I reckon Whincup and Dumbrel are odds on to win, but.......i'd like to see Craig take it out.

But then, oh crap, I don't know.......  ???

Did a couple of laps around there last week.
Then the missus did a couple, then the green Ps went on for the daughter to have a go.
Nice new surface,but, still a scaryass piece of road at 20kph,2nd gear in the old Triton.

Faster than that. No thanks.

Hope Ive got enough beer.

Go Ford.

^^^this, my Bathurst starts at 12pm Friday, hopefully won't miss more than 5 minutes of viewing at my pitstop time, as my birthday is a week after my only present request each year is a quiet Sunday!

Just doing my snack list for the weekend for swambo to fetch for me, hard choice for lunchtime Sunday tho

Bring it on!

watch the first 10 mins and last 10 mins and miss nothing..

6+ of the most boring hours of just watching cars go in circles, with basically no passing on the track - all happens in the pits (lets call it pit racing) or actual racing for 98% of the whole farce...

I'm from Bathurst but prefer to watch in front of the TV. I'm not a racing fan but I can honestly say nothing compares to the mount. When you have 1000k's to do as fast as you can with elevation and sometimes 4 seasons during the race while changing strategies to suit the conditions makes for a great event. I've attached a link that some of you may have seen of Darrell Waltrip's lap in the passenger seat, this bloke is a nascar great and can't believe the ride, have a look.

I reckon Lowdnes and Steven Richards are going to be a strong combo.

Only problem is that whinge-cup always gets the preferential treatment in the team.

I'll be watching happily from home. Can't discount the red bull cars, but it's a long race and it only takes one thing to go wrong to ruin the whole day. I think the Volvo of macglauclin and premat will be in with a shot for a podium if all goes right for them

Anyone other than a 888 car for the win. Enough's enough!

Two things are guaranteed this weekend.  Lowndes will "just want to say hi to Levi and Chilli" during every of his 50 TV interviews and Whincup will answer every interviewers question starting with "Hey yeah you know"...

Hey yeah you what I think you could be right mate. My thoughts are Courtney/murphy, or Dave renoylds. Can't discount either of the BJR cars. I think the Volvo will have something fail, I hope not but have a feeling.  There my thoughts anyway, see what happens.

Just like to say hi to Levi and chilli at home.  :cheers:

I'm an old school Murphy fan so here's hoping he can win another. I think he has a good chance with Courtney.
I'm rostered on to work this weekend which sucks, but have to take the good with the bad. Won't be to far from a tv though and there's always the replay on speed tv during the week.

I to would also like to say hi to Levi and Chilli  ;D
