So we have some bad news to share ,my luck ran out or did it? in the weekend and we had a decent roll over at manfeild ,hard to say no footage of accident but maybe 4 times and landed on our side, it was the second to last corner of the day it was a autocross so they had cones set up on the straight as chacanes to slow ya down ,how ever I thought I'd try it foot flat and its stepped out on exit of chacain bit of sideways before somethings bit in and sent as on a barrel roll dwn the Tarmac stoping maybe 30m ,not yet sure what ignited the fire we were seen to be a
couple meters in the air mid rolls already a fireball ,that was the scary part been in a few roll overs but no think involving fire, end of the day it's Motorsport the safety gear did its job me and passenger were unhurt ,as for the Datsun we believe we can rebuild her better than before and will jump into it after we take a break to reflect on how lucky we indeed were .ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Horrible Photos, worst fear, great to hear all are well. The wee car is amazingly intact considering the story, must be well built with a really good cage.
