Quoted from SBro

Ch7 need to give it back to Ch10.

The longer the season goes on the more and more you are correct. Cutting the race early in NZ because of football commitments beggars belief.

apparently v8 supercars posted a notice on their site saying they will allow more time in the future , not sure about this had a look on the site myself and couldnt find the update but lets hope.....................
also heard in this same notice that it was not channel 7's decision not sure of the truth .
look it up on yahoo message boards under sports then theres a thread called complain to v8 supercars

FORD 1, 2, 3,  woo hoo

Whincup snares Clipsal 500

Ford's Jamie Whincup completed a superb opening round of the V8 Supercar series with a victory in race two of the Clipsal 500 race in Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.

After winning yesterday's opening race, Whincup again dominated the field to win the second 250-kilometre race.

Whincup, last season's runner-up to Holden's Garth Tander, finished first ahead of Lee Holdsworth with Cameron McConville clinching third place.

But the weekend was marred by two incidents which have left three drivers hospitalised.

Ashley Cooper, 27, remains on life support in the Royal Adelaide Hospital after a crash yesterday morning.

Meanwhile, Matt Kingsley from Queensland is in a critical condition following another crash this morning.

Craig Dontas and former rugby league player Jack Elsegood are in a stable condition and are expected to be released from hospital today.

The South Australian Premier Mike Rann says he feared crashes as serious as these over the event's 10-year history.

"We take massive precautions. We walk the drivers and the officials through the course," he said.

"The course here is accredited to the very highest safety standards in the world and is in fact constantly re-evaluated and rechecked... but there's going to be an inquiry, there should be an inquiry and we'll do whatever is necessary."

Since Ford have removed their support from a couple of teams for next year i thought a good Place to turn to for craig Lowndes would be to have Kleenex sponser him, considering he's always crying about something or someone....lol
