Mr Bowden will be straightening out the required bits no doubt.

That really has to rip your undies, doesn't look unretrievable though.

Looks very repairable, front and rear window openings look straight so probably not twisted. Also, damage to body does not seem to be around major points of the chassis/roll cage. Given it is effectively just a shell dropped over a cage it shouldn't take them too long to resurrect it.

I hope someone has video of it happening- really wanna see how it all turned to custard

[fangsport]

dosn't look too bad, mainly cosmetic, unlike the starlet i was using at Levels yesterday, which is a write-off (thank god it was caged though).

no. second course, first run. car owner clipped ripple strip, run wide, lost back, it dug in and the rest(including the car) is history. was very unfortunate, as his times on the first course were good, and had he triggered the clock as he rolled over the timing gear he could have been in the hunt, i believe the time was pretty good.

it was on tv...... itll be back!

not like the cow that wandered on the road in the rally sprint today... steak for dinner!!

Now i wonder who the first idiot (read: Parlimentarian, tv station, local yobbo, goverment official that was affected by the sound of it) will be the first to complain and say that drag racing is a dangerous sport and should be banned,

Wait until they find out that 5 spectators got hit by a car at the Targa rally.

[Adamal]

Thank goodness for roll cages!

I'm surprised OSH hasnt already come and given you guys a red hot reaming, they seem to be good at that.

if they do, i won't be only drag racing in the firing line. as long as all event safety plans were followed, and the permit was correct for the type of event held, then there shouldn't be any recourse..........for now

OSH no.

Police, yes, every time there is an injury even if it is just a car driving into a wall.

[YeMs]

haha yeh somehow i think osh are far more interested in the fire incident in tauranga were a car dismantler gas axed through an lpg tank when dismantling a car and got blown accross the room and is now in an induced coma with 3rd degree burns.

On behalf of the entire Lakeside International Dragway team, i'd like to pass on our condolences to Rod, Terry and their team for the accident on Saturday. We're glad that first and formost Rod is OK, and that info we've heard indicates the car is repairable.

There are a lot of people asking what happened, so rather than speculate, heres the video we have from the day.

Also the crash was on the news tonight, which also Highlighted the new taupo circut, Looks Awesome!!!
