The way he looks back after hitting the wall.....Has that "Oh $hit Im in trouble" look about it.

The number plate looks familiar (could be wrong) but I though it was at nationals last year? Someone will know for sure.

Thats just sad...what a mess!

He does look stunned...almost seemed to be looking around to see if he was hit by the other car!

Sad when he reaches the point of no return.

It looks like Heathcote drag way.

Is it just me or was only one wheel spinning in the burnout. Perhaps he only got traction on the right rear tyre and that pushed him into the wall.

Very sad to see.

Cheers

Gotta agree Mike, even just prior to hitting the wall the left back was not driving....almost stationary. :eek:

Maybe he broke an axle...gotta feel for him though.

hmmmm
 
I had a good look, and think that when he realised he was in trouble he hit the brakes but must of hit the brake and the gas pedal as well. It would explain the locked wheels.

Easily done in a cobra.


happened so quick.

I think he probably looked back at the starting line saying to himself "tell me this is a dream and nobody actually saw this!"

This is the classic example of how you can walk on two broken legs. Jump out of the car "Who me? No I'm fine! Not a scratch on me!"

Later you see him on the stretcher leaving in an ambulance when nobody is looking.

I think it could have been a stuck throttle.

Looks nasty.
