Ok it's not what you think honest........



I managed to reform my front right wing slightly, & have a nice gash across my right rear light. Nothing too major I'm glad to say. It was entirely my fault having excecuted a near perfect skandi flick on entry to a lovely right hander. Only the left rear tyre clipped the grass ever so slightly which had sufficient effect to modify ones planned trajectory into a.......

















Tyrewall

It was at the Haynes Sprint Track I had been drifting for all of two laps & was getting cocky. Nothing more than a bit of drift damage par for the course me thinks. Apart from that a blindingly good fun & very technical track.

I have not done so much grass cutting for a long time

No not hurt or sore in anyway, It was all rather amusing once I'd seen how bad the damage was'nt. It was one of the slither in & rotate moments

Ah, Haynes sprint track:

That's were I had my old off so far I too was getting a little to cocky drifting round Spring Back to Lagonda's Leap and got a bit too sideways. Recovered the slide with no more room and clouted a pile of tires in the middle of that island before Masser's Mayhem. Only damage was a broken weld on my top rocket arm from where the offside wheel ran into and over the tires. Didn't notice till I got home though

As an asside, the South West Tiger Owners Club will hopefully be attending there again this year and we will more than likely have spare places if you're interested?
