SupraStar 3000 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 EDIT: You beat me to it Dave. "At least the other driver helped the guy in the Westfield get out".

michael Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 http://www.jackals-forge.com/TMP/spa_ribs.jpg Prelude video of the crash: http://www.bookatrack.com/-PFexboyracer285824164?exboyracer&2858&24164&video/mpeg Or combined video of the two: http://www.jackals-forge.com/lotus/movies/Spa2005_crash2.wmv Apparently that was a cool down lap as well, could have been worse!

Pete Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 nasty. Shows why you should get out of the car immediately following an incident and leg it off to the nearest side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 From the on-board it looks like there was a nice big trail of fluid on the track just where the Westie lost it. Nasty. You'd be gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 This is why I don't do track days Which is a shame as I'd like to do track days Sort of. Gah. I hate seeing track day crashes as that's always someone's pride and joy and they are faced with the nightmare of getting it (and themselves) home and sorting out repairs or scrapping it. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 But then, to be honest there's more - MUCH more chance of running over something slippery on the roads. Public roads are a disgrace at the best of times. At least on the track there won't be someone coming the other way! (hopefully....) and there won't be the risk of mowing down some mother pushing a child in a pram along side where you're driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! plus where else can you use a car like the supra to its full potential? yeah its sad about the car but bones heal and you can always buy track insurance...
