Well the single seaters were hoofin it (the red one in particular). We all commented on how long the run off was...

The red one tested it, totally screaming through the finish and ended up locking up just before the barriers, a small spin and missed them... Damn lucky!

I spoke to the guy in the red single seater , he said he missed the finish marker and thought he was on the straight before the finish , hence the acceleration after the finish ,and the close

look at the safety barriers .

The mighty Panda ended up doing a 52.12 , though it wasn't pulling in 3rd for some reason to be investigated this week .
Good day for most , hope the lotus guy is ok ,

Every year it seems to be the same with the close calls at the run off.
Wasn't it the year before last where someone had a mishap stopping and knocked one of the cars parked on the left down over the bank?

Bugger thats a shame to see Jamie's car go down the bank I'm assuming he walked away alright????Who actually won the event????Can anyone tell me if Evo 88u competed and how he went...

Maybe four years or so back yep. That was quite an interesting scene to encounter.

Scott had brake issues.

Results aren't out yet, so not sure how the results worked out.

4age's in general i think. santa lost one after clearing a cone at manfield last time. they are quite exposed tho. looks like it was a good event , didnt get up to watch it.

STI8U Before

Thanks Leon for hooking us up with the best Marshalling spot ,as the corner where both cars went off is where we were mashalling for the day
so a bit of excitment had !!! Very intresting running to the scene of a big crash like that not knowing what to find !!

by **Leon** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 9:08 pm

That's bizarre.

I had a run like that, where everywhere I marshaled, there was a big crash there. I was starting to get a bit paranoid.

by **2LTR Rona** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:16 pm

dam those boys in the single seater's were flying up that hill with the times they posted.

Excitement factor of the day for me was watching the skyline light it up from the bottom of the hill all the way to my marshaling point

and it wasnt only on one occasion he did that either

said automobile

Neither

ha ha.

Uh, and I didnt hit a bank either ??? Crappy tyres gave up at the wrong time...

Ah well, it happens when you like to finish at the pointy end

Car will be fixed and be ready for next year...

by **Mr Revhead** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 1:49 pm

good to see it will be back.

yeah some one said the lotus hit the bank.
but i couldnt see any evidence of that on the bank. looks like he just got it well wrong put of the previous turn and nailed the brakess to go straight off.

by **RH9** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:22 pm

Looks like an action packed event!

Sad to see cars have some off road excursions but damage doesnt look terminal.

Dirty coarse chip never gives very good grip eh?
