The bit about are they really Fords and Holdens at Bathurst is dead right. I would really like to see a V8 race where people have to buy their stock standard V8 off a dealer’s show room floor. They would be allowed to put in the full protection roll over equipment. The same aerodynamics for all cars and the ability to tune the car and everyone has the same tyres. That would be it no computers reading out all the functions and on pit boards no electronics or two way radio or satellite link. Just as close to factory specs and drivers who are pretty much on their own.

Thanks Howard for the YouTube link – I would always be late for work as I would keep trying to do the block numerous times before I got to work. Why don’t they try such good ideas like that in Australia?

Kind Regards
Lionel
