Had heard about it but had not seen any pics, not pretty. From what I hear he was a bit sore but not as battered as the A coop was...

Good thing he had all the protective gear needed, sure did its job.

Ratbox,
As all the circuit boys say BIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope your mates ok
Looks like a steel bodied car, thats probably saved his life.

What a shame.

Will he build again or will he hang up the gloves.

Regards Greg

couple of bumps and scrapes
he will fix it he's started already

and you shoulda seen what that car started as, basically a box trailer full of bits that nobody wanted
his missus has put her foot down and the motor is outa there

anybody want to buy a good blown injected small block, they've had it running all seems ok
