quite an exciting race.
well done to PD, two out of the last three races he has been the leading Ford, what has changed? Also what has changed at FPR, even Richo is punching much harder than earlier in the year. and what was Gt thinking trying to run PD of the track like that, 5 contacts is a bit unreasonable, and still the meat head didnt learn "uggg, ill get him back tomorrow" dont skin your knuckles on the ground Garth |

Ch7 well done, race is all over and your telecast still has 14 laps togo, and for the second day in a row no presentation for the winners. Shame Shame Shame

They would have had it if it wasn't for the bonehead drivers trying to belt each other at the end of the back straight, creating the usual Sandown delay as they put the tyres back together.

Well here's a sentence I never thought I'd utter.
Congratulations Paul Dumbrell on your first race win and pole position. He was Frosty's equal all weekend and went toe to toe with Whincup in a 888 car, something I never thought he could be capable of. With all the going on's at DJR it was great to see Courtney win yesterday and the emotion in DJ's voice on SEN radio after the race. |

When I watched car 22 hit the tyre wall backwards and the fuel cell burst spraying fuel everywhere I held my breath expecting the exhaust heat would ignite the fuel. I think Will was very lucky to walk away from that wreck. This would have to be one of if not the worst season for HRT in terms of destroying cars. It's not hard to imagine Mr Walkinshaw not wanting to turn out as many cars in 2011.

AT what point in Race 2 was the decision made to shorten the race by 5 laps...was it prior to the restart or after it was realised that the ony way to have the championship contenders all finish 1,2,3 was to shorten the race so they wouldnt run out of fuel? Being at the track the commentory prior to the race restart didnt mention a shortening of the race....so if the latter is the case, then the V8's have lost the last of their credability.

The race was most likely shortened due to Ch7 commitments.

On the TV it looked like a tyre from the barrier hit a spectator. Anyone know if it did hit them? If so, are they ok?

They called it as xx laps or 17:20 + 1 lap which ever arrived first, same as the Saturday restart where the time limit kicked in and Ch 7 was live after the restart. On Sunday the telecast was about 10 laps behind reality at the finish. Quote:
The on screen lap score on the big screens looked to be about right as I noticed the total lap count had dropped just after they restarted the race. Last edited by PVDA; 22 Nov 2010 at 01:27. |

I was on the VHRR historic racing organising committee for a few years, each of the Victorian based race tracks get an allocation of 'Noise days' per year that they sell at a premium above the normal race day costs. I think Sandown gets 8 or 10.. or something like that
For the Sandown Historics we pay a premium that allows us to have cars at 95db measured 30 feet. Due to the noise restrictions and the local residents persistent complaining about noise no race can start after 17:00 and the last race must complete by 17:20 or 17:30. No race engines can start before 09:00 either; so you learn to push your car allot...difficult with 10"-13" slicks and a locked diff! Local residents are known to position themselves at the track with a noise meter and record car numbers, date, time, etc and report to the EPA to make trouble...why did they buy a house next to a race track in the first place!!!!! |

i live a 1 minute drive from the track which is great, i moved there because of the track and SH!TS me that people complain about the noise and we are the ones who lose out. if you moved next to the airport and complained about the noise, would they stop flying the planes? NO! so why should we be any different! |

It makes me so angry whenever I hear of people complaining like this. And its not confined to Australia either, Spa and Monza have the same problems. |
