col666 Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I seriously thought my time was up yesterday afternoon. Mini challenge race, 2 collided sending one flying off at probably 80+mph. His rear wheel folded under the car when he hit the gravel and thats when I thought oh no! I was rooted to the spot and never even thought about taking a pic! Luckily the car didnt dig in and roll but bounced through it causing me to be hit by thousands of bits of gravel causing a bit of bruising a to my back/neck/head[] Camera is a bit worse for wear,full of dust but if i had taken a pic it would be smashed to bits! Iain my power-images partner was on the other side being the sensible one! he got these shots- Thats me on the left- Heres a few others from earlier in the day- This pulsar won both its races with ease- 5 Litre V8 monster MG- Pink Cossie got black flagged for this blatant bollard removal! along with 3 others on the same lap!!- Jackie Stewarts Tyrell F1 car- Lotus 340r driver must have felt a bit scared alongside the V8 Beast- Col.[]
