Update and thankyou message on website www.collingwoodmotorsport.comUpdate 2.15pm 18/01/09Roydon in good spirits, very sore, can not recall much of either hit. Is very thankful no-one was injured as he crossed the infield unconscious. Is looking forward to the next meeting, although this will be as a "spectator" Looking forward to getting you all an update on the night on his website when he can. |

Yes thoughts are with Roydon, as it was a damm hard hit both Roydon and Steve Hampton had last night, so thoughts with both of them... Shame that the Red light wasn't put on quicker as Steve was in Ni Ni land a fear few Min's before officials seen, I was sitting up the end where Steve was and seen his head was slumped over the wheel... On a high it was a great night watching all the racing, well done everyone  |

Roydon was pretty lucky thought he might have had more injuries after two such big impacts, hopefully he has a speedy recovery.
Just to note not only was Roydon lucky but everyone else on the infield he was traveling at a fair pace when his car cut through infield was one hell of an impact and hit pretty square on with the wall, totaly pushed front half of car back. does anyone know what happened, stuck throttle? Knocked out with foot on throttle after Hampton hit?
Once again everyone very lucky could have eneded up with someone on infield in a bad way.

Well you grippers thats why super stock racing is such a huge sport is because of the danger if you dont like it go watch production saloons or net ball and leave this page for roydon, start ya own page to slow down super stocks and see what reply you will get i am away from now for 3 days so look forward to your wee page.

This thread is about the health of a competitor, not other issues.
Keep it that way.

Roydon was pretty lucky thought he might have had more injuries after two such big impacts, hopefully he has a speedy recovery. Just to note not only was Roydon lucky but everyone else on the infield he was traveling at a fair pace when his car cut through infield was one hell of an impact and hit pretty square on with the wall, totaly pushed front half of car back. does anyone know what happened, stuck throttle? Knocked out with foot on throttle after Hampton hit? Once again everyone very lucky could have eneded up with someone on infield in a bad way. It was a very scary moment let me tell you, and I just thank goodness I happened to glance in that direction as he accelerated and veered left across the infield. I had enough time to move to my right and out of his path, but had I of been facing the back straight at the time it could have been a very different story. As somebody who first met Roydon 20 years ago, and somebody who has interviewed him several times over the past couple of weekends, including 3 times at Rotorua before the big crash, I've found him one of the most personable, friendly and helpful people out there. Always a good talk. I didn't slepp last night thinking about the accident, not how lucky I was to have time to move, but the sickening sight and sound of that car hitting the concrete head on. A big plus was being able to have a very brief conversation with him in the car (off mic) before he was towed back to the pits. His eyes being open was a joy to see, despite his obvious discomfort. Please pass on my regards to Roydon, and obviously Steve Hampton as well (I believe he was sent home later on last night), and hope to see them both at a race track again soon, if only spectating. Barry Brown PS; As Percy said, this thread is about 2 injured drivers. Please respect that and save your arguments for another time and place. |

Was a very heaving meeting with the wall. I only saw the initial clash with hampton and collingwood hitting the wall nearly square on.
