Clearly the Evo's fault
The supreme driving skills of the pilots and road holding of the scoobs saved the day

No idea Pete i didnt even know it crashed until i saw the video posted on another forum....The track was greasy all day and i lost count of all the cars that went off. Another guy in our club went off on Old Paddock Bend just after The Esses....His car now looks like this..
