Oh friggin hell, no coverage of the touring car masters this morning. 

Started about 4th in the reverse grid race, but looked like he dropped away.

Race 2 starting now.

yeah, that's Al, been at it for a while now....you should see the message I sent him at 6am this morning.

In Darwin, he had a loose on a corner, so ripped off 2 donuts before proceeding.... good driver, bit of a cowboy.... nice bloke.

Ive been watching Bathurst / touring car racing since i think the early 80s maybee even the late 70s and through all the changes over the years have always loved the big race ,nowdays we all love our v8s here at home , i think my wife loves them a little bit more than me ... yes there has been many changes over the years and whilst its no longer an enduro race its still for us a must watch every year .....

2:26.5241 for the Mercury Comet..... not bad, Cusso's in his late 50's.

Well bugger me, I stand corrected.... Winterbottom can drive after all... it seems I was wr. wr.. wr.... wrong.

He has had a few poles here before.

But Scotty Mac just went next level!  His one lap commitment is 2nd to none.  Loved his reaction and emotion.

Big raps to David Reynolds. He goes alright and I love his sense of humour. After Lowndsey, Dave is my next fav.
Cheers, Mike.

Yes...Dave Reynolds and team punched way above their weight today....fantastic effort for such a small team....and he also has a personality to boot !

Things to watch for.....

Rain making the result a lottery
T8 punting the opposition
Ford teams inventing newer and better ways to stuff up

[edz]

Sending  the rain gods a request to put in a big  appearance today    That will sort the steerers  from the drivers

I hope not. Id love to see Scotty get the win he deserves but there are a few more (Blue Ovals) behind him to pick up the pieces if he cant.

If I must see a Holden win then it would be nice to Davey get a win.

I like how they have the camp grounds dump point in clear view for us when they cross to the commentary box, top left corner of the screen, enjoy.

Loved the driver using a window squeegy on a stick to demist his windscreen at 260 + K's down con rod with one hand while steering with the other ... 

Whats happened to the tech cross overs with Mark Larkham, He sounded like he was having trouble with his speech in the tech pieces before the race started [ bit like he'd had a stroke ]  ? .

Not being able to see out the windows of the car they're driving.
Not being able to wipe the windscreen because your driver's arms are too short.

Just a couple more, hope that's ok.

[speewa158]

This would have to be the longest car wash on record  but quick

How much coin does it take to run a team these days? And they are running a hand held squeegee to unfog the windscreen FFS.
Now they are asking the question about how safe that is to h ave in the vehicle? The exact thing i was wondering when i saw them doing it....wondered what might happen to it in a big crash? Could it impale you?

Pretty sad when technology has advanced that much the cars can't handle the plastic windscreens foggy up

Would be easy to redirect warm air from the engine onto it, but unlike today, the cabin temps are usually sky high, so it doesn't get done.
