A few comments from Stoner after today -

"It's a little tricky getting used to hitting curbs and generally just driving in a certain technique but in general it was a lot of fun," Stoner said after today's hit-out.

"I'm pretty happy to be honest, we still need to make some improvements to the car but a lot of it is just me getting used to the track, the car and this sort of environment.

"But everyone's been very polite to me and given me a plenty of space. I don't know if that's because maybe I'm a bit too loose or what, but everyone's been really good."

Stoner said everything about the switch from motorbike to car racing was new to him.

"Honestly it's like I'm starting again, I'm not really looking at it as a transition so much as starting from new. I bring a few bits of experience from MotoGP but two wheels to four is so different ... it's pretty much starting from scratch," he said.

"I'm braking with my foot rather than my fingers, and I throttle with my foot rather than my fingers, you're strapped in, I can't use my body, there's a lot of different things I'm trying to get used to but we just need time in a car and for the moment we're trying to enjoy it."

Will be interesting to see how he goes in the race, He sounded like he got loose a bit in practice, Which you can get away with in practice, But not so much in a race, Can't wait.

Also great to see seven or seven mate showing the Dunlop twilight race live tommorow afternoon.

Well it seems that the race went beyond what it was slated to run which ****ed up my recording of it - but it turns out that Stoner had a crash. It's a shame really as he was looking good during the early stages of the race - he looked racey.

Be interesting to see how he goes from having to force his way through the field from the back of the grid in the second and final race of the weekend.

[donk]

Let's hop that Casey doesn't have his name worn out by the Seven crew before the end of this weekend!

There are other guys doing a great job out there besides him!

[crikey]

Stoner really does get the attention of the Ch7 commentary.

But it is good for the sport to have him making people want to tune in.

He was driving like a demon in that second race, To make up 16 spots was a pretty good effort so well done, Also well done to the Chaz, He is going to be hard to beat this year.
