    Rob Lewis was right to be pissed about the last minute between race change that was made for the wrong reasons.

    ...we have staunch defenders here who both represent the one true faith but whose ideologies, although the same, directly oppose either's ideologies...sounds very familiar to other human traits and activities...the Nationals are back, live and kickin'...

    blackboard, i can't even remember last night??? no, at the beginning of sunday they said due to time they were shortening S/cars, supers and 600's, which they did, there were absolutely no underlying reasons for shortening 600's

    So why did Drew explain a reason without any prompting ? Funny thing was that the reason he gave is the one we had heard earlier

    Shortening those races woul have saved 9 minutes from the programme

    are we talking about the 'safety issue" that was discussed.

    The Sloan Frost road show was too cool to make it to either of the first nzsbk prize givings, maybe he didn’t have enough fuel in the tank to get there. Seriously I’m not sure what the real story was but twice in a row looks like poor form him not even showing up....... twice


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    That's what you get when you have a rulebook like ours - with the last minute changes that officials at that meeting had only just learned about.

    Plus people racing for money - and prepared to use every trick known to them to gain advantage.

    I have no problems with rule stretching - as long as we have a strong official body which won't be manipulated by outside influences.
