its was a bloody good win, he just kept on beatin the lap record which was good to see, especially for tomorows race!!

todays race was pretty boring i thought, not much action, hopefully they put the foot down tomorow cause they dont need to preserve the cars as much!

Go tha FORDS!

Good win
drove clean and fast.

Still I was slightly disturbed by the other Ford teams tripping over themselves as usual, only 3 Fords in top 10.

And Lowndes dumped hs engine very spectacularly
(Isnt the engine 1 part of the BA NOT new, so should be sorted)

Can i say one thing to Skaife?

There's NO PRIZE for SECOND BEST!!!!!! Up the mighty blue oval!!!!! :bump: :beatup: :rofl: :xlr8:


[edit] People think that this is a bit of unnessecary slagging (it is to a degree) but, last year sometime, I can't remember when, but the nose himself made a comment "There's no prize for second best".:twitch:. Now that he was:eek:wned: today, I just had to post this. Sorry for comming over a s such a bogan.

Yeah I agree don't name the thread with the results. Very positive result for Ford. It was quick pitwork which saw ambrose get infront of skaife. I wonder if he might of passed him if he was behind? The car rea;y had the pace, especially towards the end with lighter fuel load, even though the tyres were deteriorating.
