OLLIE 26 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Was time limited to 3:45pm.yeah it must've been but the next race wasn't until 4.25 and there was a fair bit of waiting around for it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 All the race timing is based around Aussie Television times, thats why the support racing is strung out [they cant afford to delay the start time while a support race is still being run] Thats why the public have to put up with bullshit motorcycle 'stoppees' & the 'nz airforce' doing barrel rolls [At least up on the hill we provided our own entertainment between races] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 Yeah a bit disapointing the end to the last race.3-4 laps under pace car 1 lap sprint to the end. Was several laps short to fit the Aussie TV coverage. Still lots of badass racing and a mean fire at the end in the NZ V8s!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 it has only happened since Channel 7 took over from 10. The AFL started at 2pm Aussie time and so the V8 race was shortened to allow the prize giving to be broadcast. Pretty crap I say, they could have just finished the race and televised the prize giving at half time. You should have heard the chorus of boo's from the grandstands. Was a lot of very disappointed people. I was a bit disappointed in the way the whole 'end of an era' was handled. the commentators just stopped talking and said thanks for coming, see you in Hamo next year. I thought maybe they could have had a couple of laps of honour or something from the supercars and some interviews with drivers etc. It was a disappointing end to a brilliant weekend.
