TizMe Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Spewing. Still cant find a place around here that has ABC asia pacific. Missed both grand finals because of that. ABC A P WebpageYou can watch ABC Asia Pacific television using your own satellite dish and digital decoder. ABC Asia Pacific television is broadcast free on both the PAS-8 and PAS-2 satellites. Each carries the television service plus Radio Australia's English and regional language broadcasts. You'd really need to pull your finger out to get it set up by tomorrow morning though....

TizMe Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Lowndes leads all-Ford front row for Super Cheap Auto 1000 at Bathurst Craig Lowndes heads an all-Ford front row of the grid for tomorrow’s Super Cheap Auto 1000 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst. The Team Betta Electrical Ford driver continued his dominant form to grab pole position after being fastest in practice and qualifying, then recording a 2:08.59 in the Top-10 Shootout at Mount Panorama this afternoon. The 30-year-old, who won Bathurst nine years ago, edged out V8 Supercar Champion Marcos Ambrose (Stone Brothers Racing Ford) by .025 of a second. Defending Bathurst champion Greg Murphy (Super Cheap Auto Holden) improved to third alongside Holden Racing Team’s Mark Skaife. Lowndes, delighted with his team’s form, said a delay after Russell Ingall left the track with a mechanical failure helped his cause. The resulting delay after Ingall’s gears locked and he went into the sand at the end of the downhill mountain chase gave the track time to dry after light rain earlier in the day. “We were lucky Russell put it in the gravel and allowed the track to dry more,’’ Lowndes said. “We are delighted as a team. The car is basically the same as it rolled out of the transporter. “Conditions did not allow any records but the car was very good across the top of the mountain. Being fast in qualifying and racing 1000km are totally different things. The last half of the season has been the best for me in the last five years and I’m not prepared to let that go.’’ Lowndes, after trailing pace-setting Ambrose through the first sector, was a full half a second quicker than the next best across the mountain. However Ambrose said he was more than happy with his performance. “Craig was unbelievable today,’’ Ambrose said. “We choose to be a little conservative across the top. We didn’t expect to be on the top row. I would have been happy with a top six.’’ Murphy, the lap record holder with his brilliant 2:06.84 two years ago, was pleased with improvements to his car but disappointed with his effort in the shootout. “It was a very average performance. I was too aggressive on top of the mountain and ran wide at the Chase so it was very disappointing,’’ Murphy said. “The track was fine. I couldn’t fault it. It was the nut behind the wheel.’’ Murphy said his team had made real gains in this morning’s practice where he was the fastest with a 2:07.87. “The car was not bad at all this morning. Tomorrow will tell the story though.’’ Ingall is the only driver to face a testing time in tomorrow’s early practice after his gear lock-up with no other significant casualties today. There are six Holdens in the top 10 on the grid which includes all the main pre-race favourites. Garth Tander, stepping up to the No 1 driver with Rick Kelly still suffering from a virus, produced the fifth fastest time for the HSV Dealer Holden beside Steven Richards (Perkins Holden). Jason Richards (Dodo Racing Holden) is seventh alongside Glenn Seton (Westport Ford) with the final spots on the top-10 filled by veteran and seven-time Bathurst champion Jim Richards in the second Holden Racing Team car and Ingall. The 161-lap, 1000km Super Cheap Auto 1000 gets underway at 10am tomorrow. The Top-10 qualifiers: C Lowdnes Team Betta Electrical Ford 2:08.59 M Ambrose Pirtek Racing Ford 2:08.85 G Murphy Super Cheap Auto Holden 2:09.10 M Skaife Holden Racing Team 2:09.37 G Tander HSV Dealer Holden 2:09.66 S Richards Perkins Racing Holden 2:09.81 Jason Richards Tasman Motorsport Holden 2:12.20 G Seton Westpoint Racing Ford 2:19.60 J Richards Holden Racing Team 2:20.12 R Ingall Caltex Ford DNF (mechanical failure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Mist Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 Actually Ingall reckons he selected 2 gears and locked up, possibly but I was watching and he was smokin at the time and at extreme braking I saw smoke from th RH rear tire briefly then front LH smoke and then into kitty litter, if you can select 2 gears at once on decel then they must be worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TizMe Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Although I've always barracked for Holdens at Bathurst I've actually owned more Fords than Holdens.
