Bottom post of the previous page:

Murphy/Stanaway Bathurst 1000 wildcard 'threat' getting serious and firming up.

Totally aside from the weekend..... what started as a bit of a PR jerk off to counter the Ingall surprise Bathurst wildcard, Boost Mobile joked online that he would pay to bring Greg Murphy (now knocking 50) out of retirement to do a wildcard Bathurst with the disappointing, injury prone and gave it all away young hope and Boost driver Richie Stanaway.

Well, it seems some people started to take it seriously and what was a joke became a serious plan. Sources have indicated the situation is progressing nicely in the background and a deal has been done with the drivers. The entry would be totally backed by Boost Mobile. (How Murphy fits into their we wont back old drivers only young ones philosophy I dont know. Then again Courtney has long been backed by Boost and he is within 10 years of Murphy agewise!)

Anyway long time Motorsports fan Peter Adderton (Owner of Boost Mobile) comes up with some crackpot ideas and according to Boost protege James Courtney he says if Adderton wants it to happen, it will.

And Adderton wants to do it if only to take the PR hype away from the T888 Ingall Feeney wildcard that started it all. I wont be surprised if it all becomes official. Oh well, another car at Bathurst has to be good. The basic field has got a bit lean of late.

Drivers’ championship

This is how the championship stands, after race Race 10 which was not good for Whincup Waters or Mostert, JW with an 11th, Waters and Mostert a big fat zero for their DNF.

SVG’s championship lead is therefore 178 points over Whincup, with one race to come this weekend. Hopefully tWaters and Mostert will both be back out for the final race, even if only for the Championship's sake.

Final race for the weekend starts in 15 minutes.
Both Waters and Mostert have had their cars fixed and are on the dummy grid ready to go. They line up 3rd and 5th

[Everso Biggyballies]

Winterbottom is making his 500th V8SC start in this race.......... the team surprised him with a few window stickers to mark the occasion.



Warm up lap underway. Hopefully this will be a cleaner opening lap in terms of carnage.

Weather is still good but the wind has. picked up and changed direction so might make things interesting.

[Everso Biggyballies]

ADP holds his spot and leads from Waters, Whincup SVG Davison and Mostert. Brown had an off but otherwise fairly clean start.

[Everso Biggyballies]

ADP Waters and Whincup have moved away as it looks like SVG is causing a bit of a bottleneck behind them

[Everso Biggyballies]

ADP may have an issue with a misfire.... he has lost the lead to Waters. In fact he has pulled into pitlane. Looks like the end of his race.

[Everso Biggyballies]

In the garage and bonnet up so it seems to be an engine issue.

Waters leads from SVG who has passed Whincup. Davo Mostert and Slade make up the top 6.

[Everso Biggyballies]

ADP is out of the car so day over.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Pit stops starting already.... lap 6/24. Goddard looks like he pulled out in front of Randle and likely to cop a penalty for an unsafe release if the stewards are consistent.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Yep 5 secs penalty for Goddard. But he is down in 24th anyway.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Davison is the only one of the leaders to stop so far and he rejoined down in 16th

[Everso Biggyballies]

Whincup stops and rejoins behind Davo so the early stop gave Davo the undercut pass.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Kurt Kostecki has been given a 15 second penalty for a driving infringement. Not sure what he did. Missed whatever it was.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Daivson still leads of those who have stopped, but 11 in front are yet to stop.

Waters leads SVG by a second.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Waters stops and rejoins just in front of Davo. Can Davo get past whilst Waters tyres come up to temp. Waters only stopped for rears so warm up will be less of an issue.
