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... :cry: :cry: 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. :cry: :cry: :cry:

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

Regards Greg
