ambrose finishes 33rd

in a nacar craftsman truck race in martinsville virginia.....

ok, i am an ****** in usa.... but wtf is ambrose doing in the usa in a truck race??????

he did good.. got wrecked, not his doing. like his battle on the island in aus that he pushed then got pushed back and whined about it...

why would someone leave the aussi touring for truck racing... i dont get it???? and i live in the usa and follow all forms of motorsport...

? when does the aussi touring car season fire up again? link?

beers

gomez,

imho he is stepping back..... but into lots and lots of money.... i heard that he was trying to step up. and the kid from nz fng rocked jack roushes gong show.....

i love all forms of motorsports, but the best racing i saw last year was the aussi touring car camp...

i think sheapard was the name of the guy from nz....

could you adopt me... i am good with tools... and i am an excellent bartender!!!!!

just confused about the jump from road racing to truck racing in the states.

beers

He had achieved what he wanted to down here. The next step was to leave this little pond and swim into deeper water. He hopes to conquer Nascar, ultimately.

Sorry mate, I don't have the room for all your stuff......but feel free to drop in next time you're out this way .

Wasnt it the fact that no one wanted him driving for them? He was a hot head and always thought that everything was someone elses fault? Or am I thinking the wrong guy? I dont watch to much super car action if you hadnt noticed!

but all my stuff is really cool stuff, be that way...

just was shocked to recognize the name.

just a usa ******, but my favorite racing on the tube has been the aussi touring car series.

thank god to speed channel. but i am sure they will mess it up this year.

Do I care about Ambrose?

No

I care about Jamie Wincup, since Jamie has been in the car with me at Sandown.

Didn't Ambrose have some success in open wheelers before going to tintops?

Personally, I find the two car Supercar Series pretty boring. I much preferred local touring car racing when there was a healthy variety of makes and models. The Fords and Holdens aren't even representative of cars the public can buy so I don't see much point in it. I appreciate this is all heresy for the red and blue brigades but that's my opinion.

Jamie is doing well for the 888 team. Craig and Jamie will be a force this year I reckon.

Re: Sandown... I don't think we'll see Jamie again as he is based in QLD. Would've been great to shake his hands...

Allan Simonsen is also driving for the 888 team for the endurance race Sandown and Bathurst - I think!. Hmmm... we should get a photo of the upcoming V8 supercar drivers before they all move up north...

No my friend saw Jamie in the pit Sunday. Jamie told him that Luke gave him the rest of the year time table and will be a their for the rest of this year's Event Oneill - maybe he meant the Eastern Creek not Sandown?????

They travels astro.

Nope, cant say I have seen that on the shelves here. Mind you, I have a pretty narrow view of what I am looking for!!

Looks like you drink it way quicker than me anyway

Cheers,
Hymee.

A Bundy Boy, through and through?

The sponsor of our Wednesday twilight series for the past few years has been Mt Gay - not a bad rum but I've never been happy admitting to it. Just glad they use an abbreviation for Mount.

ok,
i will bite, what is your narrow view... myself, not a big fan of spiced rum. though i like mt gay, but only with tonic. i really have no idea what you guys have down under.

this stuff is just a tad on the sweet side, but soooooo smooth, like butter...

pm me an address i will try to get some to you.
