Japfest 2004 Track Day (Ouch)
|
Tyre wall?!?
|
Whoops :(
Shame i couldn't get a ticket would love to have gone ;) |
SEEN IT HAPPEN. THE BLOKE DRIVING WAS GIVING HIS EMAIL TO A BLOKE WHO FILMED IT HAPPENING. WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKED FROM THE OUTSIDE....
|
Was a friend of mine. Everyone was ok luckily :D I'm sure he'll be on to tell the tale in a bit!
Tyre wall at Camp corner at a large rate of knots :( |
Looks expensive!
|
sorry to see your misfortune :eek: , You were going well up till then too!;)
I looked for you whilst I was there but couldn't see an obvious candidate. I have doors and a wing and probably a mirror for your car - in blue - off the shelf, If I can lessen the pain give me a call on Monday. David API |
Close-up of front wing, rest of this side is worse! :( :(
-- Imagine this down the whole length of the car: http://www.sidtech.co.uk/iu/sidhead041134615186.jpg |
Assuming API David removes his name... Ouch, sorry to see that mate...
Cheers Ian |
photos all over the net of this one, one with a partial of the number plate that made it easy to see who's car it is, so remaining anonomous is not going to be easy :(
Sorry to see any scoob in this condition, takes the fun out of trackdays for sure. Dave http://www.scoobyphotos.com dave@scoobyphotos.com |
That sucks :(
Combe isnt very forgiving. |
:( hmmmm, yeah nasty - hope it gets fixed soon.
But a good chance to use it as an excuse to upgrade while repairing and fool the mrs into thinking there was more wrong than appeared ;) |

another pic. my condolences to the owner. |
Looks even worse from that angle :(:(
|
Many thanks for the all support guy's :D:D:D
I could real off 100's of excuses why it wasn't my fault :( But it was quite simply a bad misjudment of the entry into the corner and poor driver control on my behalf on the exit :( I failed to remove the opposite lock quick enough. I had full power on so once the front wheels regained grip, it drove the car where the wheels were pionting :( at the Tyre wall :eek: but this was the first time understeer wasn't the problem ;) At least this was a driver developement day in a safe envirolment and I have learnt a lot :cool:

Thats about as good as we can seem to get off the camcorder. (Only Digital 8, not DV unfortunately - Must upgrade camera :) ) There is a Mpeg which comes in at about 29 meg, think that slightly better, but not worth the 45 min upload time!! We are still working on getting it from tape via S-VIDEO, which SHOULD be much better. If it works, we'll post the update and let you all know. |
What I want to know is WTF caused all the deep cuts and holes in the bodywork? :confused:
Bad luck mate and hope your insurance covers track use, best of luck getting it sorted and dont forget to post the fixed up pics ;) |
I have 100MB blueyonder space, or I can use my sidtech one, so size is not a problem, wont take long to upload unless you're on a modem :eek: - just wondered if you could do a betterer one. No worries.

Not good Tony :( Never like to see a car bashed about like that. I'm assuming you had good track day insurance cover (please tell me you did!).
Chris |
Tony seeing that is horrible, understeer then oversteer then I guess you lifted off, which sent you towards the tyres :( gutted for you mate, glad all are OK :)
|
Gutted to see that
|
Gutted for you mate and you killed a wasp.
|
Yep sure looked painfull :(
Pleased to hear you where both ok just after it..... Simon |
I'm so sorry to hear about the "whoops" :(
However, I'm glad both you and passenger are OK though. After all, it is only a car :) Shame that this type of thing shows off the the Internet at its worst :mad: Still, there is some good to come out of this - at least I can guarrantee my students that for the next few weeks, they'll get some work done, rather than being interrupted by that noisy bast@rd motor when you drive down by me ;) :D Take care Tony - speak to you tomorrow, and again, if you need anything, you know my number :) Dan |
