JACK DANIEL'S RACING QUOTEBOARD
Rick Kelly - #15 Jack Daniel's Racing Holden Commodore:
"We're pretty happy with the pace but today for us was learning," said Rick Kelly.
"We had a strict program that we needed to stick to throughout the session to learn a bit about some things on the Jack Daniel's Commodore.
"We stuck to that so the first bit of the session for us was frustrating because we were learning things and not going for outright pace, which meant that we were a fair way back.
"I think the car is now in a reasonable position for tomorrow for qualifying, which is great.
"It is frustrating though in practice with the tyres everyone's got, you don't know where you're positioned.
"It makes it very difficult to know how you're placed for qualifying tomorrow. In my opinion everyone should be allowed to have a set of green tyres for practice so that we can go out there and have the session as an extremely good comparison in terms of where you are.
"In Adelaide, NZ and Bahrain you get new tyres for practice so it would be like that. It's a bit frustrating but we press on."
Todd Kelly - #7 Jack Daniel's Racing Holden Commodore:
"We're pretty happy with the Jack Daniel's Commodore," said Todd Kelly.
"I didn't do that many miles in Part B of practice and tried to save the tyres, so we ran the same set in Part B and Part C.
"All the guys in front of us put a second set of tyres on, so we've saved a set of tyres today that we can use in qualifying tomorrow. So hopefully that will be a bit of an advantage.
"The Jack Daniel's Commodore seems pretty fast so I'm quite excited about tomorrow."
