It's only Wednesday and we've had the long weekend here in NSW, school holidays have started this week and the cars are here to do their race around Mt Panarama , Bathurst, at high speeds!!
And it's raining...
I, for one, am not complaining. I love race week here in town. I only do mental eye rolling if someone is trying to explain the difference between Holdens and Fords. As a non-driver, as far as I am concerned, both cars have the same amount of tyres and both can speed around the mountain at heart attack speeds!!
I only hope there are no major accidents on the mountain...dingles and breakdowns are ok providing the drivers are ok.
May Craig Lowndes win this year as it is his last time around Mt Panarama.

Much as i love the car races, I don't usually mind who wins providing it's a fair and safe race.
thats the problem with 'production car' racing, cars arnt built equal.
so from when the Ford company stopped building falcons with stonking V8 power plants just to be in bathurst leaving it to Holden (who continued to build cars just to win bathurst) and some private ford groups to modify cars to be competitive.
so to cure one problem cams created another as year after year they 'fiddled' with the rules to try to make fords and holdens were competitive with each other.
history will show it never really worked.
leading us to todays rubbish where under the 'skin' the cars are identical! more or less.
and sure they are fast and sound great, but they are BORING!
its more about reliability now than anything else, survive to the end without anything major going wrong and your a good chance to be on the podium.
being on pole position is meaningless as how often does that car win? often crashing out in the early stages if a computer 'glitch' doesnt force it out.
geeze i hate hearing they have a 'software' problem or the guys are changing the computer module!
