greenandmean Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I see the grass bank at Shelsley claimed another victim at the weekend, Wallace Menzies hit it at about 125mph, car looks very second hand but fortunately Wallace got away with a broken cheekbone. Not sure how he managed that but a very lucky bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellski Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very lucky indeed http://youtu.be/2EClOWH2dYg I hope he has a speedy recovery and is back competing soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Bloke Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It was a big off but credit where it's due, the DJ held up very well.Single seater 'offs' always look really bad in the aftermath as so many bits break off (as they're meant to) but the tub stayed intact as it's designed to. Credit to the marshals and rescue crew who did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sounds like the car changed down gear repeatedly locking up the rear. What was especially surprising was that in some photos it looks like his helmet was coming off. I'm glad he escaped with minor injuries.

Scottish Bloke Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I did see that too Ash, hope you've not suffered too much damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arm Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 No, car is stripped already and the tub is undamaged. Few bit required but its all fixable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
