Eastern Creek - Round 2

Disscuss all the 'stuff' from the Eastern Creek round here...

Yep, the Creek is alive!

Yay!

Me so silly! I keep thinking it's Friday! You watch, I'll start the Bathust and PI thread on the Wednesday afternoon as they start on the Thursday...

On you'll probably start the Bathurst thread the month before the race lol.

BTW PI starts on a Friday

What are your predictions for the weekend?

Oh, right!

Well I think that either Skaife or Lowndes will win the round. Tander will finish in the top 5.

Skaify is the fastest in practice [overall]... http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?09/03/2008.ECIR.P11.Y

Let's hope that it stays that way...

weird things might happen in race 1 - i gotta hunch, but i won't say what it is...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! Even Tander apart from those first few laps raced boringly.

Murph I think is 4th in the Championship:

Go Tander! A well deserved race and a poor start for Skaife Low grip levels got rid of the main game players such as Ingall and T Kelly.

The Championship looks a little like this now... from results today...

Woo hoo!!! Go Will!!! Go Frosty!!! Another great weekend for Ford!!! - though not so good for Richo! Will post champioship placings when I close this thread tomorrow afternoon...

Great Drive by Davo! well done son... Richo's crash was a biggy, hope they can have a car ready for the GP.

Is it mandatory to go to GP???

I think it is (not certian), but if they dont have a car, im sure they wouldnt get in trouble

HRT had a nice recovery in race 3 after suffering in race 2. A very nasty crash for Richo. That car will defiantly be a ride-off

yep, it is an official write off

Can I be honest here, when Will won the round, the hairs were standing on the back of my neck. It was a great day to be a V8 Supercar fan, not just Holden or Ford. This will probably be the only time I'll be happy to see a Ford win a round.

It was a well fought race and DJR will be happy.

very happy!!!

Team Vodafone have a nice lead in the team championships. Nice work for HRT. From about 8th to 3rd.
