love ke70 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 i blame those wheels. sprinter wanted to suicide it was so ashamed to have such ugly 5 spokes... at least it really looks dorifto spec now, next step : matte black paint :'( Quote
Redwarf Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Fook, is that doing the Bathurust Hillclimb? I think they run it backwards up Conrod.... Quote
irokin Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Fook, is that doing the Bathurust Hillclimb? I think they run it backwards up Conrod.... That would have happened on the super sprint layout. They start in the dip on conrod and run though to the start line. Quote
CD_rollaman Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 wow thats hectic..... how goods the fourth pic its completely off the ground.... how fast was he going?? was he alright? cos isnt that his head all but hanging out of the window I'd say he is ok considering that is him walking in the 2nd last pic (red race overalls).

demuire Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Posted December 19, 2006 Rob: No idea. It looks more like what irokin said (super sprint layout). Quote
Nitephyre Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 f@$k me, what a shame... what WAS a nice, normal sprinter trashed... pic 4 is going to be a desktop though :'( Quote
deri2k3 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 agree, 4th pic is definetely a good one! what went wrong anyway? its good to see the driver is okay though.. Quote
78_7kRolla Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Ahh it should buff out! :'( Nah he is seriously licky he didn't get hurt. Great pics though. Quote
irokin Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 agree, 4th pic is definetely a good one! what went wrong anyway? its good to see the driver is okay though.. Looks like he was oversteering so the weight was already on the outside tyres and at some speed. All it needed was a bump from the kerbing and over she goes. Quote
demuire Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Posted December 20, 2006 From the original Toymods post: I thought I'd share with the Toymods community the Accident I had on the 2/12/06. I was doing the Bathurst Light Car Club Speed Weekend, which is a Conrod Straight supersprint on the Saturday and a Mountain Straight hillclimb on the Sunday. Let's just say I didn't make the hillclimb.... The Supersprint is from about 300m below forest elbow on Conrod Straight, through the Chase, then Murrays and over the start line. So I did my first run, a bit tentatively through the chase, but clean. On the Second run I came into the chase, probably doing 170-175km/h into the braking zone, jumped on the brakes, turned in and hit the ripple strip on the inside of the first left hander. The pics can show the rest. So I got out of the car pretty quickly and cursed alot. Ambos and fire crew were there in less than a minute, they checked me out and gave me the all clear. They advised me to go to hospital for a check up. I was ok, bit of a sore back but that was it, but I went to hospital to be on the safe side. At hospital they did an ECG, X-rays, CT scans, blood, urine tests, etc. and they kept me in the night for observation. Probably overkill but I'd prefer that. I was discharged the next day and I went up and saw the stewards and they checked my helmet, etc. and finished filling out the incident report. All the people from CAMS and BLCC were really good, couldn't have had better support. The blokes from my car club were great (Wollongong Sporting Car Club) sorted out the car and organised it to get back to Wollongong (It actually beat me back to the gong). Just a note, I was waring a full face helmet, Sparco 3 Layer race suit, I was in a Cobra FIA seat and had only a Lap-sash belt (I ran out of time putting a harness bar in). The car had no roll cage. So realistically I am very lucky to have come out of a high speed rollover almost totally unscathed. I was pretty sore for the next couple of days. Then I got to survey the damage back home. The Sprinter is a mess. Not 1 panel is salvageable. Engine and suspension is mostly ok though. Quote
Wood§tok Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) lucky boy. ive never seen a sprinter look more sorry for itself. i think love_ke70 was right about the 5 spokes too lol. cheers. Edited December 22, 2006 by Wood§tok Quote
