Okay Okay write bloody up,,,I'm not perfect but god am I close.

Scan it,,,buy a copy yah tightarse.

Love as always

Neil.

Actually he can have my copy. Just be warned that I threw up on it when reading the Cochrant interview.

Apparently I joined Cams because of Tony.

And people go to track days because of V8 Supercars.

And a whole pile of other tendentious bullshit. :cool:

Phark can we have Motorsport News back to being fortnightly? Even if it was a week old by the time it got to the newsagents over in WA it was atleast readable.

Well this thread was about the wonderful Bluebirds running 26 pounds or was it 36. I loved watching George sticking it up the V8 boy's especially HDT.

Cockrane's a smart piece of work,,,all the tracks he talks about have been improved and thats because of his V8 lot. I see nothing wrong with what he's done. I don't care what you think and the way I see it now,,,none of those track owners would have done a thing if he didn't push them. Next time you race at one of those tracks he has improved,,,look around and thank V8's.

Eastern Creek is the only track to tell him to jam it and get away with it from memory.The joint is booked 12 months in advance.

Yeh right :) Supercars have done nothing for motorsport in Q in fact street events like Indy at the Gold Coast drain money away from permanent circuits. And how can one event in the year support a permanent circuit anyway? QR's overwhelming business income is from grassroots motorsport activities, the reopening of Lakeside is a prime example of grassroots driven infrastructure.

Well lets pick 1 straight off the top of my head,,,

Bathurst has a beautiful new pit lane and corporate area. The top of the track has also had major changes made. Do you think for one moment these would have happened without V8's.

NO

Oh what about Oran Park,,,garage upgrades that would never have happen either.

NO

Don't get me wrong I think he's a turd but he and v8's have done heaps to make permanent tracks better.

Neil.

oh we are so off topic already but here I go anyway....

both those tracks you just said are temporary...bathurst is twice a year and oran park will be gone within 2 years. not really a great advertisment for how supertaxis are helping aus motorsport.

How many new permanent tracks have been built in the time supercars have been around (15 years, 93 - 08)? 0. And how many new, temporary, street circuits (Indy, Canberra, Townsville, Hamilton)?

    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
