I sure thought so. Like hours earlier.

Now another 15 mins delay cos some driver couldnt breathe on the warmup lap ... ffs mate, harden up. We need to get this thing started before i have my sunday midday nap

There ya go. Nap time. Even a safety car so you don't miss much. And I can watch F1 qualifying.

Cars probably go a bit faster than the days you're thinking about when Holden Camira's and Ford Meteor's were going head to head so they don't have to start as early...

Might as well just tune in for the last couple of laps. This is as much of a farce as NASCAR.

The race used to take, like, 10 hours in the sixties.

From 1979 to 2007 the start time was 10am.

And didn't it used to be the James Hardie 500? They only did half the distance... Or maybe 500 was how many cans you were allowed to bring with you for the weekend....

Well now that lap records are set every other lap, next year might kick off at about 2.30

They're going that fast now that I reckon next year's race will start in the future!!!

Do you go for Ford, Holden or DeLorean?

Who's racing out to buy a Mustang after today's win?

 

[strider]

I just woke up. Has it started yet?

It's a delayed start, won't begin until 10:30pm. Nobody is allowed to use headlamps due to energy constraints that were brought on by activists. It should be absorbing viewing.

Walk into a holden commodore showroom 4 years ago and it was like absolutely wow. Now its like wtf is this shit.
