There has been a lot of negativity about drives on here lately - I thought it would be great to mention that some absolute crackers get driven too.

Yes, I do have a bit of bias in this example, but taking that away I thought it was a very smart drive from a driver as young as Peter McMullen, I really do think he has a great future in the sport :)

When a thread i started due to a "bad" drive it goes on for 5 pages.

Has no-one really seen a drive lately and thought "gee that was nice to watch!"??????????? Or even favourite drivers?

Yesterday I reverse parked in a busy shopping centre. Thought that was quality driving tbh.

I haven't seen too many drives lately that inspire me to post any glowing reviews in this thread.

I am a rather "ordinary" reverse parker , so my wife says , so naturally she must be right :-)

Hmmmm driving taxis part time has polished of my parking skills! :)

And re drivers.... the more I see of Greg Sugars the more I like him! What a great future he has in this industry too. :)

I will certainly agree that Greg is a very impressive driver. Seems to do a lot of thinking during the race and can read other drivers around him and use that to his advantage.

Going to win a few Vic premierships in years to come I would imagine.

I think it is relatively simple, any drive that escapes criticism must be a good drive! Though I do belong to the school of thought that the best drivers in the land are in the grandstand!

You're right!

I must admit that I am guilty of being a grandstand driver on occasions! :( It's hard when you put in SO much effort during the week, making sure your horse is spot on, only to have it slaughtered! Guess it just makes these cracker drives even better. Pete was certainly giving me a heart attack mid race - but it turned out perfect. Watched the replay several times - it's a beauty!! :)
