Holden HAS to win as a tribute for Brock?

Is it just me or is it like Murph is trying to imply to Ford teams that they should deliberatly throw the race? I kind of get the feeling that hes trying to almost boost the already big Holden ego by using Brocks death. It just seems a bit wrong to be saying something like that...
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I didn't read the whole article but I think he's rather implying that all Holden drivers/teams should be putting up the fight of their lives in memory of Brock rather than indirectly asking for Ford to loose.

The way the media put it down I guess could be open to more than one interpretation depending on who reads it...

I'm think its going to be a Ford day to be honest as with Holden winning the last 7 odds say that Ford has to win but who know's.I have gone for the FPR combo of Jason Bright and Mark Winterbottom thats my pick and I've even laid some cash on it aswell so go FPR..

The odds of winning each year are independent of what happened last year or the last 20 years. I didn't mind a holden winning if it had a kiwi driving, till last year when murph couldn't control his ego. He should've been born in aus. Ford all the way!

I think it will be a wicked race.I hope that a Holden can do the goods, adn I also hope that it'll be a smaller team that wins it just to show up the big boys.
As for the Fords if the do win i'd love for it to be Lowndes and Whincup who do it.Purely because Jamie had a good result at Bathurst last year and in my eyes was the driver of the race.I think he deserves it.

Will certainly be a very emotional Bathurst for all involved.

Brocks first race car was an Austin A30 or A35

Maybe they should bring that car back and race it too - FTW
