he went at full whack, sideways into a tyre wall. Bent the steering wheel n smacked his leg on something.
Quite a good effort, hes walking but not very well |

just back from hospital... nothing broken... barely walk or bend my knee... but ok.
yes... 100% commitment... even asked if they will give me another kart to continue with while i was still flat out unable to move. I said i will have enough movement to press the brake.... and after being helped back in the kart (and helped back out at finish), i was back in the action, overtaking and even able to keep rough pace with Colin at one point. finished last as i lost a few laps while they straightened the kart to roughly the same shape. |

yes Bob, you certainly tested its offroad capabilities to the limit... i tested mine to destruction.
The 'something' i hit my leg on, was the steering.... i think they had bent it some of the way back before they pointed it out to me...
well... it was a proper 'off', Kart at its fastest and just throw it sideways.... see........ i'm a rally man... circuits are crap... at least in a proper rally i would of hit a tree or two, the odd spectator and had a corner named after me..... |

It was one of those awful moments, I was looking the other way and heard the screech of locked wheels/ tyres then as I turned I saw the kart on the grass then...........THUD! I saw the driver come out and thought it was game over. Went down to the marshals post to see who it was, sounds horrible but I was hoping it wasn't "one of the lads".
I honestly expected a hospital trip but it was a real stomach turner. |

thats true.
I saw the red flags out and thought someone else had been offroading, till i passed someone (turned out to be dave) laid out on the deck. To be honest there wasnt much movement and i thought he was knocked out!!
but after it, you can only laugh or cry |
