I have. Complete with flame I havnt processed mine yet, though!

It was a fantastic meeting, I hope Chris Maries is OK. That was one hell of an accident and looking at him with his head flopped down and not moving was just horrendous and something I never want to see again.

Roll on next year when I should be able to photograph all the rounds!

Bit gutted they spelt my name wrong in the program. Matt Selfe instead of Matt Sayle

I thought Matt Selfe and Sayle was bit too much of a coincidence.
I missed the accident, was round at Druids at the time.
Where were you camped out?

Yeah so did I when I got the last BARC programme! It was only when I saw the pictures in yesterdays that it clicked

I was here there and everywhere! I did the first NW quali on the outside of lodge, the second on the outside of knickerbrook, the frist race at foulstons and the second at Old Hall and then shot over to lodge.

I was driving down to the podium from Foulstons and saw a flying caterham type thing in the cornor of my eye. So I slammed on the anchors and jumped camera at the ready. Soon put it down when I saw the wreckage

I do believe that he is OK and has only (I say only but it was a huge crash!) has a broken arm and broken rib!

Basically, coming over hil top, there were three caterham type things three abreast, chris in the middle, he brother on the outside. Chris gets squeezed, goes up and over his brother and tehn just goes end over end over end.

Punctured lung I believe as well. Lots of pins in his broken arm.
