its fair enough to whinge about it, but Kmart Racing are taking it to appeal. obviously theyre not letting it drop. i was still surprised that even with the way the points system is, mcconville went for the dive.

i cant help but think though, even if it was a full course yellow, its the second last corner. theres no reason to back off

Ambrose still tops the championship surprisingly, despite trying to enter his car in the WRC

The move was 100% legitimate. I thought on the last lap that McConville should have a go. He had much less to lose than Rick Kelly. McConville isn't in the top 10 in the championship, whereas Kelly is in the battle to win it.
So, I'm not surprised that a) McConville made the move; b) that Kelly didn't resist (second being a good points haul) and c) that Kelly complained/whinged (he didn't want his team to think he'd given up a victory...team bosses don't like that and McConville's move reminded me of Barrichello's move on Trulli in the French Grand Prix).

So, contrats to McConville. Another of the championship long term drivers who has finally broken through.

well im just glad that theres still people out there willing t make daring moves like that at such a crucial point. if steven richards had it his way, there'd be no overaking at all and the race would be won from qualifying and the pitstops

funny one slick

you wouldnt think it but ricks actually 21.......he may have won eastern creek and bathurst but hes still lacking experience, something shining through from Cam's move. who cares if the yellow flag is out, its the second last corner, anyone wouldve just planted it to the end

not to ignore also, any serious racer in sch an accident prone ace, one with so many safety cars, even till the last corner, they'd be looking at the stewards waving the flag whenever they can. they say that the winner of eastern creek goes on to win the championship tha yer, wel if that stays the case this year, i really feel sorry for what happens to everyone else, cause for Rick to win this year, bright, ambrose and richards are really gunna have to f*ck up

kmart racing are planning an appeal, so that could be interesting, whether rick still has something to say afterwards, or even worse, they winit and rick gets awarded the win
