No bull from Red Bull.

"I drive the #97 Red Bull Holden."

Races one and two are done, dusted and penalties awarded for the Adelaide 500, not the Clipsal 500 as Scotty had thought. Shane Van Gizbergenhof comfortably won both the Saturday and Sunday races which in fact saw some pretty good racing all the way down the field considering we had fourteen new Holden Commodore's un-tried and un-proven. We did loose J-Dub to rear end failure early on in Sunday's race and we lost Scott McLaughlin to a puncture which took a little of the excitement away.

The races didn't go without the usual controversy where several drivers were pinged for exceeding the track limits. What ever happened to the tyre bundles? The most infected (read affected) driver was Mark Winterbottom who copped a drive through for cutting the Senna cocaine, ooops! chicane, or as Race Control see it -- kerb overuse. Sly ol' Garth Tander copped a five second penalty for careless driving dropping him from 11th to 16th resulting in a 15 championship point loss, ouch! Erebus Motorsport was copped a $3,000 fine and a loss of 30 teams’ championship points for starting to refuel Anton de Pasquale’s Commodore before the wheels had left the ground. They won't be making that mistake again.

Our dark horse Davey Reynolds unfortunately gave himself his own penalty when he freaked out exiting his final pit stop ahead of Gizzy who was on him at a great rate of knots. Davey did come out in the lead but failed to block. Still a handful of points and with the (above) refuelling problem Erebus needs to be gathering points not loosing them.

So roll on the AGP and this time for points. If Race Control can be a bit more consistent we may be in for a good series.
