So we have a new era, they are now Supers, welded up, armoured, any engine beasts that fly like the pervival off a shoval. These are road cars, honest, but have been modded beyond belief, awesome when theres a full grid, sadly though this season might be their last horrah.. Not helped by Gayboy and Ann Potts retiring at the end of 07... So lets hope theres an infusion of 'new blood' in this class.........
