Cameron McLean replaces Phil Scifleet as Greg Ritter's co-driver in th #33 Garry Rogers Motorsport Commodore.
Cameron has been 4th, 4 times at Bathurst. He has driven for GRM on previous occasions. Imho he is greatly under-rated.

As the transporters rumble towards the Mountain, the Betting Agencies have framed their market.
Their favourites are
Skaife/Tander
Lowndes/Whincup
Kelly/Kelly
Bright/Winterbottom
Ingall/Youlden
S Richards/Dumbrell
Courtney/Seton
Murphy/McConville
Jason Richards/A Jones.
S Johnson/W Davison.

I would be throwing Bowe/Brad Jones in to the top ten. Likewise, I would be throwing Jum Richards/R Briscoe in to the top 5.

The HRT/Toll cars seem to have an edge in horsepower, and a significant edge in torque, as displayed at Sandown. They were noticeably quicker out of the corners. Reliability seems to be the main hindrance to another Holden victory at the Mountain.

I would put johnson and davison higher too. I wonder how the Kelly's go this year. They have one well the last couple of years, but how will they go without a top name to partner with.
Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.

Interesting that they have stated an option for a timed race this year. It's the first time that I have noticed it.

Ute is loaded, Telescope included, by this time tomorrow night I should have some idea of who is quick up the hill and who is quick down the hill, who has the most stable car into the Chase........and who is foxing.
Ed, any chance of reimburment for bribe money?
I.E 2 hot pies to the flaggies on the post before Forest, 5 bottles of coke to the marshalls who stay at the "........." Hotel,( those fellas should go to bed earlier) 20 minutes from Bathurst, ............now here is a thought, if I had a laptop :shock: , I wouldnt have to sprint back to base
Gotta go, to be on The Mountain to hear that ripping grumbling coughing snorting snarling howling sound thru the mist way below. And that is only the Mechanics :shock:
