Just got home after a brilliant and very quick day at oulton thanks stef & sidc !

But hows the driver and passenger of the Listers MY 01 went to the scene and it didnt look too cheery to say the least hope all ok and if anyone knows please let us all know never nice to see a big off.

Thanks

Tim ( TKH ).

All Ocupants are OK according to Rob Mac.

Great news

thanks John.

Both crew are o.k as the passanger is here, now and laughing and joking about it as its not his car and hes fine!.

What went wrong mid lift off or to energetic on the gas on the way out and is the car repairable ?

im sure we'd all love to know now we know you're all ok.

They had a bit of a slide on caught the rumble srtip anb because they were sideways this flipped them Steve Wright

Actually the rumble strip itself didn't flip them, it was the soft earth on the OPPOSITE side of the circuit that did it.

And I was betting that it would have been another car to go off first as well... but I was wrong.

So was I Rob, http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif but i did warn said person in the morning about that corner, seems he listened and had a good day. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

You know who you are http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif LOL

I think i know who you mean ( could be a darker coloured car maybee say 5 or 6 years old ) only car to pass me who then proceeded to brake very late into the next bend locking up all 4 and going sideways into the corner just missing killing the 3 cones sealing of the full track , and i have to admit wondering wether he or not he would make it round Lodge with or without wing mirrors.

you know who you are ( Mr Brave ).

regards TKH.

Thanks for your concern. I was that driver and am pleased to say I'm OK!

Drifted wide coming out of Lodge, caught the rear nearside wheel on rumbles went into slow 180 spin across the track, and as someone already said, the wheels dug into the earth and turned us over. The car was up against a grass mound on drivers side, an I was stuck for 20mins until they could remove passenger seat to get me out. Full marks to Oulton Parks rescue and paramedic teams! NB. anyone got any pictures I'd love to see them. IanMWoodward@AOL.com

Once again great news you're o.k. didnt take any photos as they might not have been in the best taste at the time no what i mean , however i can now give a full description upon request as to what the suspension set up on the new model looks like as viewed from underneath and have to agree that you were fortunate to be in the very capable hands of the track team see you at the next track day.

subject MY 01 Write off !!! good pics car looks better for it

I do hope you were not betting on me going off. I certainly had a few puzzled looks from drivers under braking as i caught them up, not to mention a stream of passengers wanting a trundle round.

Great pace Andy and no i didnt manage to get to Ladbrokes but have to admit i don't know how you sorted that lovely slide out but 10 out of 10 for doing it only wish i had the camcorder rolling.

Incidentally whats the secret big brakes big boost or just big b***s or have you been given 3 months to live.

Respect.

Tim

John/Rob.
Oi you loggers!!! What's this poo about dodgy betting shops?????? Cheeky barstewards! Where's me winnings? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Ian.
Good to hear you're OK. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Stef.

Stef the odds were as follows.

3:1 Somebody came off at lodge.

5:2 somebodys m.a.f. would go pop

4:3 i would need new tyres by 2 pm

66:1 it would be icy on saturday( bet placed friday mid day )

Dead cert : everybody would have a great day.

unfortunatley the betting slip got sucked out the window at dear leap which is a great shame because an accumulator bet would have paid £ 66'666.66

Regards.

Tim.

Tim, 20 years rallying and racing up to International level may give me a slight edge!

Andy

I assume that you were the chap who gave me a lift round Oulton at about 3pm. Sorry I didn't ask you for your name, but I was too busy gritting my teeth and saying various prayers, particularly going through the chicane where I think I managed to keep my eyes open after about the third lap.

Got to be one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had in my life.

Cheers

Phil

Better than the chicane up in Yorkshire Daly lad???
