The beginning of one bad accident:

Looks like Sandbach Accident Repair Centre has a job on its hands:

Thats me in the white Escort! Not a nice start to the race as there were 5 damaged cars and 1 off to hospital.








I won the restart though so not all bad!!!!

Do you know how the bloke is, I saw a paramedic rushing in as we left?

Such a shame about the XR race. I hope everyone is OK. Any news?

As for the pictures, Dan, good stuff IF they are to blurry or get to blurry for your taste, try upping the number that is 100 now to about 125 or 160

Oh and can I post mine in here when they are done and dusted?

How much of the original car remained under there, I don't know but by gum it sounded great and went like the bloody clappers. It didn't win though, some trouble around the other side of the track meant he lost the lead to a lady in a Seat Leon who drove a superb race.
