AdamR Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well, I was waiting for this - done quite a lot of racing (probably 15x 20 min races, or more) and a lot of track days (20+) in the last few years, and I've finally hit something relatively solid. Bit of a 'one step forward and two steps back' scenario - got engine and gearbox back in the car last week, car was running sweet, but managed to overcook it a bit and scrub the armco after the exit to Cascades... We're both fine but my passenger says he now has a bit of a stiff neck, sorry Adam! 'Enjoy'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Ouch! I hope there is not too much damage Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Oops, not so good and it looked to be going well up till the point of impact, but those kerbs and lines can be slippy when damp. I hope there's not too much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 At least you are ok both of you - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Cheers guys. Damage looks quite minimal at the moment - numberplate, fog light, some fibreglass and a squished fuel tank - but the armco seemed very forgiving and I don't think anything major is bent! Yeah, the painted bits were still slippy at that point (I'd learned that one at Lodge, just a few corners before!), but I don't think I did anything 'wrong' at Cascades other than a bit too much power a bit too early. C'est la vie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyH Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Adam Sorry to hear your news. The main thing is your both OK. I'm sure you will soon have the car fixed and be out again. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellski Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Sorry to see this Adam but as others have said, good to see you're both ok and remember even the pro's have mishaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Freak Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 sorry to see that mate, and hope the car can be repaired easily- h ave to say the previous corners you seemed to be pushing your luck a little, as you were quite tail happy on the exits unfortunate though that you happened to come off where you did- over the other side of the track there was plenty of space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
