Well after spending all day friday at the track there was plenty happening on & off the track. With Craig Lowndes on the pace early in the session it was looking promising untill he missed judged a corner which ended up putting him tenth for the shootout. Although the rain came down most of the day he managed 6th which put him in a better spot for today's race, he did a great job to finish 2nd behind Murphy. After a disappointing end to bathurst Ambrose ran into more trouble

: even though it was raining on Friday you just had to look up at the high rises to see the ladies with their white pointers out for everyone to see :sm_headba . The atmosphere down there was unbelievable with people and flags hanging over verandah's, guy's getting some help walking after a little to much alcohol consumed
