In regards to what Jerome said (about running away from cops) well it's not like he said it was a good idea although I agree maybe it's not in the best interests of the sport - but compared to James Vahoumis' totally average promotion of the sport whilst being interviewed at least Jerome showed some genuine enthusiasm every time he was on camera and he was clever enough to thank Channel 10 at the end (although Channel 10 may have edited James' stuff down a bit). Having said all that I thought it was some pretty decent coverage and they did a great job for a first time. As long as we support channel 10 and what they do then the sport will only get bigger and better through greater maintsream exposure - this is the kind of thing we need to show our potential sponsors, that the sport is up their with the other top motorsports in Australia in terms of dollar and promotional value. Now all we have to do is make sure we put on a damn good show at every event we go to. Improved-AE86 - I sort of agree with your evaluation of the driving, but you are being a bit negative. Some of the driving was extremely good and although obviously not D1 quality - people like Jerome Kennedy, James Vahoumis, JT and Pickering etc did extremely well, and definitely outshone people like Will Orders who used to have a drive in the Pedders ARC team (although my opinion of him has dropped quite significantly with his crap showing in that Subaru Liberty RS wagon) and others. I think it might be a while before we will see the street class on TV - simply because what's the point? None of them have visible sponsors and hence it's not as big a promotional exercise for those competitors. For those looking to get in to the pro class though I guess a good showing in the street class will always go well in terms of gaining sponsors trust. [Report message to a moderator]
