Default big smash yesterday, with pics.

ok, all was going good went out in practice got the car setup nicely with some good tyres.

1st heat started 7th on the grid, car was flying won the race happy days!!!!

2nd heat started 5th on the grid, car was flying again was leading the race when just 2 laps to go bang goes the front outside tyre. what a twat wasnt happy!!!!

ok time for the final, started 5th on the grid again, got a good start and was away. after just 4 laps got in the lead and then coming out of the top bend some twat hit me up the arse end and pushed me into another car which then spun me out and sent me straight into a solid concrete wall at speed, then as i was sat there wondering what went on someone else ploughed straight into the side of me.

it hurts today, my neck and shoulders feel like someone has been jumping on me all night.

and my car is totalled. got another meeting next sunday so i need to find an xr2 today and gat it track prepared in under a week.

does anyone know where there is one for sale!!!!!

regards

mike



































and here is what it looked like in the first race.
