This is difficult to do with any sort of certainty, so..
Here's the wish list - Seton Radasich Lowndes Larkham Johnson Jr Here's a more likely scenario - Skaife (HRT are still the class of the feild) Radasich (just needs to improve in the short races) Bright (HRT etc etc plus he can drive) Seton (the quiet achiever) Ingall (the noisy achiever) But I for one would be suprised if in November I got it 50% right. It's just too close isn't it. |

It's interesting that there seem to be a lot of Ford supporters in the forum, this suprises me as usually in my experience we have been a definite minority.

Better chance of picking lotto numbers than this, here goes
1. Skaife (HRT still on top) 2. Radisich (almost but not quite) 3. Tander (will mix it up with the big boys) 4. Bright (one year adjustment before taking No. 1 status) 5. Seton (consistant finishes, maybe even a round win) Others that deserve to do better than they will: John Bowe (Better than the car will allow) Lowdnes (will struggle not starting from pole) Ingle (will at least provide entertainment) Should be a great year |

How about a top 5 Konica series cars?
Wakefield (champion) Ferrier (a GRMS VT...a donkey could make that go quickly) Harris (an ex-DJR AU...another donkey vehicle) Rose (good driver) White (consistantly plugging away at it..) Dumbrell Any other ex-SCS team... Moffat- Might it be that most Holden fans can't use a computer? |

Crash Dummy,
I thought the same thing but thought I'd better not upset Marcus again. Now tell me who's this Wakefield guy? |

I said MOST
Wakefield: Queenslander who drives for Graphic Skills racing- would have won the championship last year but luck was nowhere to be found.... The team has rebuilt the red car (ex Kevin Heffernan) that Dean Canto wrote off at Bathurst 98, and apparently they wont be painting it white again... |

Crash Baby,
The most endearing image I have of Bathurst is the spandex Chiko Chicks and WW (see I too can learn this abbreviation shyte). I was going to go to $2500 for the signed bonnet - and from a Commodore too! The guys' good, lets find a Ford for him. Kneeling in front of signed Moffat photo. "Yours in the one true faith" |

Crash Dude,
Like far out, he's been really prostituting himself hasn't he? Where as The Great Man drove a Ford, a Ford, umm, a Ford, a guest (spy) drive for Brock in a - well you know! - then a Ford, then a Mazda, then a Mazda, then a Ford, then a propper Ford (ie. a V8), then - well that's it. I have decreed it to be acceptable for my son to drive a Mazda. Me, if forced to drive rather than ride, it's a Ford. |

Like so many have said before, it really is wide open, but here's my two cents worth.
1. Skaife 2. Bright 3. Tander 4. Radisich 5. Bingle I would dearly love to see WW win the Konica V8 series, but I don't think his talent is enough to make up for a serious shortage of resources. I think Harris would have to be a good chance if he can find some luck. I don't think Ferrier has what it takes. Crash, one more Ford wise crack and you won't have a very good time at the Club Car day on 10th March. Remember, I always put the left side into the wall. When did WW drive a Mitsubishi? Moff, I have a picture of Allan Moffat racing a Bob Morris A9X at Amaroo. I saw (and touched) the ex-Jim Clark, ex-Graham Hill, ex-Allan Moffat Lotus Cortina at Historic Lakeside '98. You should go to some historic race meetings, the old touring cars would make you smile. |

David,
I grew up near Amaroo and can remember the A9 - X stint but not how it came about. I can't remember if I was at the track or watched on TV. As for historics, if the cars are as good as the bike meet at Lakeside each year then yes please. Especially a Mk1 Lotus Cortina. |

David- WW drove a Mitsubishi with John Trimbole at the Bathurst 3 hour in 1998, but the car didn't make the start
