Yeah man I was a bit empty at the win coz it was unchallenged - but we cant have it all. I loved Ambrose's comment:

"I'm going straight down to Skaifey and taking the number one off his door - it's mine!!"

And about time!

Ingall should have been thrown out for a year for what he did swerving at another driver. Why did Ford fight so hard to get a dick head like him into one of their cars??? I thought we had Holdens to keep dickheads out of Fords, and then they go and pay one to drive for us!!!!

What happened at the end of turn nine was a racing incident until Ingall turned Skaife around, all he had to do was lift off for a second and Skaife would have turned himself around.

I do not like Skaife at all and find him arrogant and elitist, and with the few dealings I have had with him a pain in the arse. Granted he is one the best drivers in the country but he will never be the Gentleman that drivers such as Jimmy Richards, Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose and John Bowe are.

The points that each driver lost were because they were excluded form the meeting, Ingall got a lot better placing overall than Skaife, hence the difference.

As I said earlier Ingall should not be there, what he did showed he has the maturity of a two year old and is nothing more than a thug with a 1350kg weapon, his type of driving will get someone killed one day, and more than likely it will be marshall and not a driver.

I think I can make comment on the incident as I have raced in three categories over the past 15 years, and have been a fire marshall and medical car driver at every level meeting from state to the Australian GP and Indy GP's.

Wow - any chance of starting a thread in the Profiles area - would love to learn more about your racing history there... Be a lot a number of us could learn (okay - there would be a lot I could learn!)

Yeah I agree - I would like to hear about your career in the racing. What sort of racing have you done? Have you ever seen anything like the ingall/skaife incident before?
