Great video Steeldog, not that it's great to see someone injured but good coverage, just looked at it a couple of times and if you see seconds before the crash the 2 little kids that go runnig round the edge, just imagine if they were a couple of seconds late........ Its getting hard to patrol these children, i told a few off and got told by a couple of them to somply Fu** Off, now isn't that nice.
Apart from that, its good to hear Ian is doing good at home and recovering well, was a mighty crash.

It's a racing accident, same as what happened between Ricky Logan & Allard at WS
Here is a video of the same thing, car comes out wide, and there was another car there. This was from last week

However, they probably would have had to change underwear but that's about it. They weren't leaning on the pipe fence (like others do) and the safety fence did its job well. |

Of course it was a racing incident. Sprint cars dont have a rear view mirror so how was the black car supposed to know Easton was coming down the outside. This is so obvious as Easten's front wheel hit the other car's rear wheel.

As a spectator i'm devestated.  The commentators tell us to scream our support as the drivers can hear us. And now I find out Santa & Easter Bunny aren't real. |

In any case, Ian is all good with just some bruising for those who want to read just the current page of the thread ><

How can he contest this. Didnt he get Knocked out? If so its a 21 day stand down which means he is cleared the day before Harrisville.
