Skaife Off To Hospital

[Grennan]

Just heard on the news Skaife is gonna miss most/all of this weekend enduro's because he had apendisitis (sp?) Dammit I was going to Sandown tomorrow in hope to meet him.

Dam what a shame. Heres the article from V8supercar.com.au:

ill be at sanddown tommorow as well, driving my bosses cv8

[Torquative]

fark, not good news at all.

I was going to put some money on #2 for Sandown too as is tradition

Well #22 will now be at good odds so theres always a chance although I'm still thinking #51 might be a surprise package. Of course, its hard not to back the HSVDT car of Tander/Kelly!!!

Its gonna be a fun race, just sucks my favourites out and he dont get any points for this round

Glad it happened now though and not in 4 weeks time

[Grennan]

Yeah ive got a 3 day pass, was hoping to get some stuff signed by him and otheres tomorrow and during the weekend. Guess ill have to wait till i go up to indy... Too bad my dads freinds with the ford drivers and not the holden ones...

But it is much better it happend now, than the week before bathurst. That would be a heartbreaker.

yea, 2 years in a row he wouldnt have 'competed'. what a shame [/sarcasm]

only reason i will actually be going for him at bathurst this year is cos of seton.

Saw on the news a little while ago he was pitlane at Sandown and might be racing depending on medical clearance.

[dufus]

“He [Skaife] has to qualify on Saturday and meet a medical check to satisfy officials,” said Starr. “If he feels okay and all this happens he could replace Tony Longhurst and join Glenn Seton in the #2 HRT Commodore.” Best of luck to him

Can anyone confirm if skaifey is driving???

[Ripcell]

skaifey is not driving this weekend, went to track, can confirm

[Darren]

Actually just reading here there is still hope he might be driving?

I suppose we'll know for certain tomorrow.

[minux]

Thanks Darren, sounds somewhat promising.

[Darren]

Then again reading on HRT's site it doesn't sound promising, I think I'll wait to see come race time.

It's all guess work at this stage.

[minux]

According to HRT's site Skaife has been in the car in the warm up?

Lets hope this is so.
