Default CAPA Stunt Utes had a head on.

Not sure if any one saw it. But the CAPA stunt Utes had a head on at Sandown yesterday. It happened at the end of the back straight. It was so funny. Does any one have any good photo's of it.

Matt Mingay? I think he rides for them.
His brother owns a sweet Twin Turbo Mustang up in the NT.
Verry nice!

Yeah i was filming that when it happened. Went out too wide, hit the ruough stuff and lost it. I felt so sorry for the driver and the people who got hit..

It was ironic how dad said just before they started that it was really stupid and dangerous to have cars going at this speed around the track, seeming there was no safety fences..

This will sound dopey, but in what way? Was there not sufficient spectator crash resistance barrier?


Anyhow, I've made a note to not go see them, 'just in case':-)

SO true, cause the make of car you drive does actually have some impact on your driving ability, I mean the moment we all jump into a F1 race car, or a Ferrari, we are instantly transported and able to drive just like Michael Shumacher...

It would be interesting to know if a higher percentage of young Holden owners are involved in more crashes then young Ford owners

Fords are just as cheap! There's just not as many of them on the road anymore.
