knockill hot marques 29th nov crash

[Gingernuts]

anyone see the mustang ion its side at the hairpin? didnt see it happen, have a pic one of the marsall sent me that il post up in a bit.

was it anyone on here, were they ok???

also anyone out taking pics yesterday????

[deuchars]

I was standing down at the hairpin when it happened, was surprised how little damage the car had afterwards.

Not sure it this is correct as I read it off another forum but apparently he swerved on the back straight to avoid a car slowly making its way back to the pits and lost the backend which put him into the gravel.

Did anyone get any pictures of my silver rx7?

[Gingernuts]

same as i heard, cheers for the loan of the pressure gauge in the end. did u not come out for the last half hour???

[deuchars]

Wasn't me that lent the pressure gauge, were you in the racing blue cup?

I left after the mustang accident, my front brakes were so warped I couldnt be bothered doing anymore.

I was driving the other RX7, had a great day apart from my off after 3 corners! lol

[CJK]

Not me but here's a wee picture of your car for you.

[S2red]

Yes total brake failure

And contrary to what some of the wallys in the pit wall were saying Ian IS a damn good fast driver

[deuchars]

Thanks Pau1, I meant to come over and say hello. What brake set up are you running, my standard brakes were only doing 4/5 laps before fade was starting

[Adam Kindness]

looks like the damage isnt too bad.... really shows the foam things work well!

[Lazydonkey]

he hit the wall at speed and ended up on his roof.

I'd suggest the damage is unlikely to t-cut out

Ah, I knew I recognised your username and was trying to figure out who you were... I'm the bloke you met up with in Falkirk and took out for a test drive in your VX 12 months ago (cheers for that). I wussed out though, went for a bit more comfort at the expense of not track-daying

yes, but just imagine the mess of the car had it just been the tyres!

Hi Adam... It's one of the guys that travels with us P car crowd... everything ok, nobody hurt which is the main thing... suppose it happens to us all at some point (knockin' on wood as I speak)

[Adam Kindness]

Guys..........I was the car infront of him - there was no swerving........I saw him coming as I began to brake for the hairpin and then he went flying past my passenger window - already in the gravel - he was turning over as I lost sight through my turn.
I would say that by this point his brakes had failed entirely - as they had been doing intermittently all day. He had a choice between my backend and the gravel If I ever meet him I will thank him for choosing the gravel
Is he ok?

Err where did you arrive at that from?

I was up from just after 11 and traction was the reason he came in early

Dont think he got any warning of brake failure

[Vik54]

Oh well I stand corrected I had assumed the way he'd been locking up all over the place there was an issue with his brakes. Obviously the only reason anyone would fail entirely to slow down would be 'traction' - I'm not going to get into semantics with you - am just glad he's ok
