I hope you are right about that. How many others have we heard say that until the Nascab dolars came knocking?

Like Gary, I hope you're right, too. But I watched the Victory Banquet on TV and there were a lot of guys who said or indicated one way or the other that this is where they want to be. Now, that might be situation, or state of the moment, but they sounded sincere.
Particularly Bernoldi, who compared his "500" experience here to his F1 career, but Viso, Alex Lloyd and a couple others said this is where they want to be.

In terms of specialist racing magazines in Australia, Dixon has always been referred to as an "Aussie-born Kiwi"

I was finally pleased to see him on the cover of the NZ herald on tuesday and headlining the news (at last getting the coverage he deserves), so often in NZ its rugby or cricket failures that dominate the sports news.
Did anyone else in NZ get anoyed with espn showing dancia at the end not dixon and his team?
On a side note: I think its a pretty strong bet that the Surfers Paradise race will be full of kiwi's in October (its on during a national holiday weekend in NZ).

Although it took danica to have another stroppy charade, at least theres more coverae in Aust. Now for it to take off, we need Briscoe or especially Will Power to winSir! While I disagree with what you are saying, I will fight to the death your right to spell the words incorerctly and use heinous.. grammar yo !!!

If one team gets it 99% right and all the others are less than 90% then it'll be really dull. If they all get it 95% right then it could be great with close racing and a development battle for the...
