Motor sport can be dangerous

Had a 1/4 mile sprint today. Very wet
This poor chap lost it near the finish line but very lucky he's ok

That's Buggered! Is that Vazon Bay?

That's a shame. Looks like a 205? I guess jokes about spec savers are in bad taste.

Holy cow !!

Was this a 1/4 sprint as in a straight line sprint ? If so, how the hell did he get it out of shape towards the line ?!

No, it's quite a bend towards the finish. I couldn't use full power near the finish line because of wheel spin @ 101mph

Thank god it was caged. I feel sorry for the owner, but as long as most of the pain is financial, then it's nothing that can't be over come.

And as he prob went in at 'normal' motorway speeds it makes you wonder how safe any car is without one
(Mind you life was a lot cheaper back in the day when a 205 was new)
Glad noone was hurt.

Even the seat had moved backwards by 2". The metal in the floor was plated where bolted but still had 2" sluts cut through. It only stopped because the seat back hit the cage.
