I believe 888 ran out of merchandise (not just stoner stuff) and had to get more shipping in during Clipsal.

No-one expects the guy to be a world beater in his first meet, but he did ok. Actually, he did better than i thought he would given his introduction to concrete in race one.

I don't care whether he comes 1st or 21st. I am stoked that a guy who was top shelf in MotoGP actually wants to have a crack in V8 Supercars. Everyone else sees intent on dragging the guy down. That's what annoys me. Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well it seems...

I wonder how WP are going at shifting their 5 Project Blueprint VE's.. they have been on My105.com, in AA, on Australian Muscle Car Sales... and still no bites!

Prices too high? Cars to slow? Teams worried about getting 'the real deal'?

In the old days of WP obsession, these cars would have been snapped up well before the end of year. Now they seem to be dustcatchers at Clayton

maybe they need to throw one out in DVS with a decent driver to show if they can or cannot (for their sake can) mix it with the big boys in the DVS.

So... after a long hiatus, these happy little Vegemites are back out to play in Perth in a few weeks time...

Wonder how Mr Stoner might like the track, the downhill stuff.. a gritty surface..

Should be good fun to watch..

Wonder who might replace Mr Mostert in the MWM Falcon in Perth?

Their FB page yesterday hinted at them getting a new driver, didnt imagine from that that a driver change to the main game would cause such a thing...

And a reasonable volume of whinging about other blokes' 'excessive blocking'.. Seems they just dont move over a full car width when they see Mr Stoner coming.. No race craft lacking or anything.

I guess the world is against him. In a new category this time...

Interesting to see the SupaShock damper brand sticker on the MSR Falcon of Mr Walsh too. This is an engineering project from Mr Fiorinotto's group... and if in full flight, seems to be working to good effect for that team.

I welcome any of his detractors to jump on Pol Esparago's Kalex and see how they run after 5 practices and 2 races in the next Moto 2 Race.

After all, it is ONLY the 2nd tier series, and its the best equipment, so they should be straight on the mark and winning yes?

that too tough for you? ok, you can try WSBK if you please? an Aprillia good enough equipment for you? ....

It takes time. Theres huge media beat up and for the most part Stoner has been pretty realistic and laid back about it all. no commitments and has been pretty open that he has a lot to learn. if you had the opportunity to race for the best team out there, who honestly would turn down the chance?

the other teams and drivers should be stoked that his presence has raised the viewership by i would imagine a large percentage, which in turn increases the viewership their sponsors get to see on the TV.

Unless he just wants to have fun, you'd have to be a brain dead idiot for thinking you can start your car racing career in a 600hp V8sc, particularly if you think you are going to be anything but laughable.

Nobody posting on here would start their motorbke racing career straight in wsbk. But they go on a 125/250cc production class or similar (I don't know the exact classes).

The DS is getting some attention, nut it's only Stoner that's getting it. (Who cares about Ash Walsh or Kristian Lindbom?)

Only saw the first race on the weekend, but it seemed that all interest was lost in him, after he tripped over Mr Owen, and subsequently carted the pair of them off the track.
