Team BOC's Jason Bright gave NASCAR great Darrell Waltrip his first taste of a V8 Supercar today, taking him for some hot laps around Mount Panorama.
The four-time NASCAR Champion was clearly thrilled with his high-speed passenger ride.

1.jpg


"There is not a rollercaoster ride that matches that, the only thing we didn't do is get upside down!" said Waltrip on returning to pit lane.

2.jpg


"The corkscrew (referring to the Dipper), I've never experienced anything like that and Hell Corner well yes, that will scare the hell out of you!"

3.jpg


"I am exhausted, what did we run 5 or 10 laps?" he asked Jason (it was in fact just three flying laps).

4.jpg


"We went across Skyline and into the dipper and I swear there's no way you can make it, and Jason is over there laughing! I couldn't do anything to him because I didn't want to upset him or make him mad!

5.jpg


"It's a whole lot different when you're in control, all I could do was hang on!"

Waltrip and Mike Joy will call this weekend's Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 live on the SPEED Network in prime time through North America.
Walltrip is a NASCAR Hall of Famer. He will be joined by fellow racer Calvin Fish and Aussie Leigh Diffey for Sunday's telecast.
 
do they race in the rain? god i hope so...ive really been looking forward to this race,its saturday night at 4 pm for me here in california according to the derectory,i prolly wont even watch nascar this weekend cause im on a bit of a boycot
 
Rain???
They certainly do, being early Spring it can be hot and dry, damp and cool or pouring rain and icey.
Right now, final practice is being run with a damp circuit across the top of the Mountain and a dry bottom section ....... normal Bathurst weather.
:kilroy:
 
I like to watch them 4 wheel drifting in the dry....it's sit on my arse day Sunday, and everything else gets put on hold.

Edit : top 10 shootout looks pretty conservative, heaven help anyone that puts a wheel or 2 onto the grass, end up as a big slippery slide.

Yeah...the way that top 10 shootout panned out I wouldn't have been surprised to see them revert to the last qualifying session times for the grid. Far out...we have our own track side reporter.
 
Anybody know if the race will be available as an internet live stream anywhere? I am in Canada and have no cable or satellite TV service but would love to watch the race.
 
thanks wombat,,love the pics,,,,im used to the billboard sized numbers on the nascar and american cars,the small numbers on these are hard to pick out,,,,,but who should i watch tonight?.....name,car number,and sponcer,,,also i noticed in the pics there were several Holdens,what is the dominate car make?


commidor and falcon are cars? are they both holdens?
 
Dave: Holden is the Australian label for Chevrolet.

In Australia there are two kinds of men:
Ford Falcon men, and Holden Commodore men.

The numbers on the race cars are small because they are just temporary stickons - during the week they are used by sales reps to sell women's products :running:
 
Go the Holdens and go the Wallabies this afternoon....just had to chuck that in for Wing.

Edit : Weather radar is looking a bit sus for later afternoon...cold front on the way, don't know if it will get that far north during the race today ??
 
Heh I hoped I'd get a rise from over the Tasman.
This weekend must be one of the biggest sportfests in living memory!

May the best teams win...
 
The great Bathurst fest delivered another classic.:wavey: those firey crashes are a worry...heavy hit that one.
 
A great race with a real nail biting finish. I love endurance races that are that close after so many hours of hard racing.

It finished just in time for the F1 to start too. It's 2:12 am here and I feel it's going to be a long night!
