lol Kim Jones already being a cranky ass and whinging about the rules, only took him 10mins into the 2009 season.

It took him that long? Wow.

As an aside I agree anyway. This years rule changes suck teh wang.

Hmm, maybe McConkey will be wigged out if Richards shows pace this year. Hope not.

Nah its not but the amendments to the legislation would have banned alchohol advertising from sporting events.

Well you have to wonder why alcohol companies can advertise, but cigarette companies can't anymore...

Soon we'll only be left with Nickelodean and Care Bears!

Well lets see one product you can consume safely.

The other is addictive, carcinogenic not to mention a heap of other unpleasant & indeed deadly things & cannot be consumed safely.

Anyway looks like Team Yodaphoned are still king of the kids & good to see Coulthard sneak into the top five! Brightie is still on struggle street.

God the shootouts this year will be boring.

I liked watching the shootout, more interested in the fuel economy tho.

Hey weivel.. sorry to mention it in this thread but it is pretty awesome that they have the new GTR as the safety car this year, although in saying that i have a feeling it wont be appreciated very much and will not last long..

Having said that i am following Richo and Frosty for the 3rd year running.. think they will make an impression this year..

Cant wait till the start at the clipsal, personally i think you will get a good look at the new safety car as to it is a hazardous track..

Good to see Skaifey doing commentary, he adds knowledge and jokes to the annoying Mathew White and talented Crompton.

Davison got away with a good 3rd considering his poor start and spin towards the end, Whincup never looked like losing, Lowndes was unlucky same with Tander on the power steering failures, Murphy is the V8SC version of Button in F1, Courtney is just way too eratic and will never win a Championship and was Ingall even racing today?

The qualifying system where you start both races from your qualified position is stupid although it will certainly help Lowndes + Tander for Race 2 tomorrow.

Also well done to GRM in 2nd place and Mr GRM is still happy to say his piece.
