I'm gutted but lucky to be alive

Conditions were damp today at Gurston.

Good launch and fine into hollow bend lifted off before carousel and she snapped left.

Couldn't hold the slide and hit the tyre wall/ bales sideways which pitched me into a complete barrel roll and landed back on the wheels sliding backwards into the trees.

Spent half an hour in the ambulance but only have a sore head and neck but as you can see from the photos my heart is pretty well broken.....

This is the risk you take when racing.

Best you get the Zed Shed mk2 finished so we can rebuild her then mate :)

 

I was looking for a project after the V8 conversion anyway :)

 

 

As I said on the phone just take it easy for a couple of days, we can have a chat on Tuesday when I see you mate.

Flippin hell :scare:

 

Thank god you're ok, that looks nasty and not surprised you were being seen to in an ambulance. Close call there chap, but it does look fairly bad for the poor Zed.

 

If there's a way, Chris'll fix it, he's a wonder with the angle grinder.

 

I just hope this doesn't distract your feelings for the Zed :(. :console:

Oh Andy I am absolutely gutted seeing this mate :(

 

As others have said at least your okay but non the less the amount of love and money gone into this must be heart breaking as you say.

 

Is the car even possible to repair as such? What sort of damage are we looking at?

 

Ps. Dibs on the spoiler - sorry had to be done :p

 

Hope your ok though mate
