Hell yeah, how crazy was everyone getting just after it started raining. Nobody had wet weather tyres on yet either... Holy crap it was awesome.

Go Ford, suck it holden!

by **stevo** » October 7th, 2007, 6:39 pm

last 20 odd minutes had me yelling and screaming

by **Grechie** » October 7th, 2007, 6:39 pm

Was a sweet ass race at the end, was really getting sick of the channel seven adds though

Go Fords!

by **UNEZED** » October 7th, 2007, 6:43 pm

by **Nikk O'lass** » October 7th, 2007, 6:47 pm

by **Rollin** » October 7th, 2007, 7:03 pm

OH YEAH!!!!! FORD FTMFW!!!!!! Murphy went all AFF at the end and lost a couple of places, sucked in to him

BEST RACE EVAR!!

by **five point slow** » October 7th, 2007, 7:07 pm

I almost crapped myself when Lowndes nearly collected Prick Kelly. And again when Whincup lost it coming into the pits.

Good to not see a Holden on the podium. Sucked in to HRT/HDT/HSV/TWR whatever the **** those two teams are. I might go down to Clayton tomorrow and piff some bottles of brake fluid over the fence.

by **Rollin** » October 7th, 2007, 7:08 pm

P.S. Anyone know what that yellow car in the add for rexona was? It looks hot as

None of us QLDers could pick it, maybe a GT40 kinda thing?

by **five point slow** » October 7th, 2007, 7:08 pm

Arse end looked GT40? Front looked almost Lotus, probably just a bitsa.

by **EBOOST** » October 7th, 2007, 7:23 pm

yeah come on the ford 1,2,3.
was a very good race and yeah the when whincup went sideways coming into the piuts into the sand i thought he was going to get bogged.
kept me on my toes for the last 20 odd laps.

by **slo_sprint** » October 7th, 2007, 8:03 pm

I did not see any of the race but, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gotta be cheering!

by **TUFED6** » October 7th, 2007, 8:06 pm

Lowndes had some fcuken mad slides happening in the last 10-15 laps, what a legend.

by **-jjM-** » October 7th, 2007, 8:17 pm

spewing i missed it now, sounds like a fucking awsome race

by **Alesia** » October 7th, 2007, 8:26 pm

it was a awesome race .....the festivities started sat night for a group of us not getting to sleep till about 6.30am meant that the enthusiasm for the main race was a little low but still was a great race

by **Sunboost** » October 7th, 2007, 9:26 pm

Sounds like it was sick.

I missed it. Too busy working on weekends

by **mooseman** » October 7th, 2007, 9:33 pm

I woke up for the last ten laps and they were fucking awesome. Best bathurst I have watched.

by **donno** » October 7th, 2007, 9:41 pm

McW00t!!!

Sent out SMS a plenty to rub some salt into wounds, only got one back from my uncle (has a VX):

"Commodore for sale. Going cheap" lol

The rear looks like some description of a TVR, but the front didn't seem that whacked.

by **nommic** » October 7th, 2007, 9:46 pm

Saw the last few laps when I got back from work, perfect timing

by **XRated** » October 7th, 2007, 10:44 pm

Missed it all. Fkn work. I want to see if I can download it...

by **-jjM-** » October 8th, 2007, 12:28 am

i used to go to a site called aussietorrents.com but seems they have made there site private and suspended there registration to invite only now, they had anything Australian from news, sports and shows, surly thow theres some torrent place that will have it for download but it will be a big file me things

by **mooseman** » October 8th, 2007, 12:48 am

there is http://www.diwana.org thats full of aussie torrents.

by **pHaT`eL** » October 8th, 2007, 5:40 am

Had to be the best race Ive seen in a while. Last laps in the wet were mint, sliding side by side, and gotta love prick kelly not scoring points. Whincup and Lowndes 1-2 in the championship now

Weekend was full of laughs for us, very random and intoxicated

Skatin' like a mad kent.
Everyone was loving it coming onto conrod straight.
Awesome race, stoked lowndes got it, I was stressing hardcore towards the end.

by **Simmo** » October 8th, 2007, 7:54 am

best bathurst i've ever seen i think. no stupid shit from either side, impressive mishaps, remarkable driving, and the best finish one could hope for, FORD MUTHAFACKIN NUMBAH ONE!@ how can lowndes and whincup both get that close to an out of control car and get away with it. i'm so happy courtney was up on the podium too. i've really been following him after ambrose left as ambrose was my #1 driver and 'young' courtney is coming along in leaps and bounds. watchout lowndes, it looks like a younger you!!

The race was awsome we were all on the edge well would have been on the edge of our seats if we had of seen bed at a decent hour and not drunk so much lol Ford 1 - 2 - 3 that was the best eva.

Was a very intoxicating and interesting evening saturday night lol at the oh crap its starting to get light before we finished drinking.

by **Eb Barbie** » October 8th, 2007, 8:35 am

Big night satday night led to pretty much an all nighter and me dozing off throughout the race a lil. The last 16 or so laps were crazy! Pretty tense especially when they started fishtailing in the wet! Good to see a ford 1, 2, 3 AND only three Holdens in the top ten!!

by **Commando** » October 8th, 2007, 8:54 am

I celebrated by taking the EB out to Colin Watson Holden and ripping skids in their customer carpark. Payback's a bitch, coz the entire staff from Colin Watsno Holden ripped skids after bathurst, outside my parents' house in Boolarra, from 1999-2005. Kents.

Afterwards, I took the meatywh0re out for a spin, racing commodores from the lights near the Top Pub. It was funny, even when there was just me and a commodore at the lights, the commodore would still come 4th. Somehow, two other fords would materialise from nowhere to claim 2nd & 3rd, and being in Morwell, these fords were invariably XFs and cortinas.

I'll spend the rest of today uploading my 11ty brazillian meatywh0re "racecam" vids onto youtube. Catchwords - "Morwell, SKIDZ, kent"

:roll:

by **OED666** » October 8th, 2007, 9:11 am

awesome race.. i knew the results before it was actually aired... I won it for Ford on my PS2. I did the 161 laps, well Rollin did 2, and he had to hand the wheel back...

by **LTDHO** » October 8th, 2007, 10:30 am

Awesome race with out a doubt.

Certainly the last few laps, with Craig's driftin styles, were intence.

by **spope** » October 8th, 2007, 11:38 am

It was a great race. Lowndes proved once again that he is one of the best drivers out there. I feel sorry for Jason Bright though - I bet that whole team are kicking themselves that they didn't put on wets. They would have won I reckon.

Annoyed with Channel 7 though, I am sure there were far more ad breaks than were necessary.
Oh, and I really hope they get themselves together and broadcast in HD next year!

Actually, did anyone else notice that the footage looked a bit odd at times? Like it was sped up a bit?

Or was my set-top box playing up?

by **Bipolar** » October 8th, 2007, 1:35 pm

We watched it through good ol' analogue and I didn't notice anything unusual.

Was farken sweet.

Would like to have seen Ford 1-2-3-4-5-6 but I'm stoked at the result. There was a big group "WOHHHHH!!!" when Lowndesy come within a fly's cock of wasting pRick's car, during and afterwards on the replay. :shock:

by **cranners** » October 8th, 2007, 7:22 pm

Well done to Ford 1st 2nd and 3rd!

I had to work on Sunday so didnt get to see the race, only got to see the highlights on the news later that night...

Also good to see that Ford now lead the championship too!!

Just a vid of DaNeOs sliding down some stairs head first.

by **someLS1** » October 9th, 2007, 1:06 am
