Is the v8 contest being run this year? I looked the other day for any info but couldn't find any, so assumed that there weren't any races yet. Then today I find that there was one today in Adelaide. Is Julian still around?

I wish we could all manage to pick the lotto numbers that easily!!!
Not that picking them is hard but picking the same ones that come up on saturday night or whatever night you play is totally different.... but then you knew that didn't you?

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Forgot about that......sometimes I get real ticked at their opinions(they can be a tad bit anti-IRL, anti-NASCAR, ant-Grand Am, etc.), but their news and opinion coverage is worth the subscription cost.

This event is not part of the championship this year due the late merger of the two competitions (IRL & ChampCar).
