[U WERE MINE]

[XrSiSt]

I heard a rumour that there was some prang last night. Anyone

can confirm?

[Rac33r]

Indeed there was..! a pretty unlucky night! 3 spins!!

first spin was Nissaner (GTR)...spun on a right hander..!! lucky bastard....! did abt a 180 but hit nufn!

I was the car behind him!!

Second spin, came only a couple corners later on the first sector..! R32 gtst..! ended up with some front and rear body damage..! I was the car in front of him that time

3rd and worst came..in 3rd sector..! Myy800 (as pictured above), spun and hit his front againts the barrier and then hit the back too!! Again I was the car directly behind him.

The type R came out of the spin pretty bad..!! but managed to limp it home after some Rally style modifications and without 1st, 3rd or 5th gear.! Lucky he had a 6th gear to use on the freeway..!

I guess it was just one of those nights...! I think we all jus pushed it just that much harder..! For the first sector before any accidents we had like a s15, Clio, type R, GTR, R33. R32, integra vti-r all up each others ass..! all going hard..!

Man maybe I'm unlucky or sumfn..!

I'll post up some fotos here soon guys.!

btw xrsist where did u hear abt it!

[Guest DFLASH]

damn Yeek... sorry to hear.. shouldn't take it so hard.

lucky I wasn't there, but I wouldnt have taken it that hard anyways, just got my car back so don't want nuffin to happen to it.

lucky GTR, most expensive car there and didn't hit nuffin...

oh well, hope you guys get your car fixed with the least possible $$$..

[Rac33r]

well I was alright..! and yeah i think just one of those weird nights!!

Yeah.. u realise the Type R matches the GTR in price..! but insurance is good..! excess for type R is like 150 so yeah shud be back on OP soon..! Its at the panel shop now!

[U WERE MINE]

omigod guys this really pains me to hear.. 3 smashes in one night man? what were u guys thinking??after the first spin u all should have slowed down..

but u kept pushin? have u guys got rocks in the head?? no offence but this is the exact reason cops are now patrolling this road alot more than before.. cause there are ppl out there who dont know there limits.. ive been doing the OPH quite regularly for about 2 years now.. and cant believe how hard some ppl push it and it always ends in trouble.. why do u do it to ureself.. cant u guys go on the track and loose it there so u know where the limits of ure cars are??

no offence guys but that is just absolute stupidity to have 3 smashes in one night.. and im not telling u to drive liek a granny.. anyone knows me.. knows how quick i can do the oph.. but learn the road.. and learn ure cars.. there is nothing wrong at the rear of the pack.. at least u have a car to drive home..

at this rate there will soon be a fatality guys.. please be carefull and do ure share of racing on the track before pushing a car on the oph, natio run or whatever..

[Rac33r]

Yeah well..! first one didnt even touch the sides and the R32 only had minor body damage..! It was the third smash that was bad..!

and yeah the type R that smahsed has had a lot of OP experience..! knows the roads pretty well.! it wasnt a problem with knowledge of the road..! it was more a problem in the drivers head..! distractions in life..! but yeah...not all of us have the time to go to the tracks...or can afford to go all the time..! I disagree with ur comment in that I dont think u need to do ur fair share of track b4 OP..! I agree that u need to learn ur limits and learn the roads..! I mean, wen i first started I took it heaps easy and learnt the car and the roads..! Last nite marcus came but he was near the end as he was jus learning his car..! we encourage ppl to only take OP as hard as they are comfortable with...and not push it past that. All drivers make mistakes at some time in their driving life and most drivers have accidents...whether it be their fault or someone else's. When u race on the streets, u are more prone to have an accident...true?? Of course, more expereince and better driving limits the risk..but the risk is still high...the guys at the front were there because they were the faster drivers and more experienced..! I persoanlly ask every driver jus b4 the beginning of OP where they wanna go and see how hard they wanna go..! We ask ppl that want to go slow or are learning their cars to go behind those that are faster so the slower ppl do not feel pressured to drive fast.

It is a split second choice we each individually make....through each corner...and I can bet u that there have been some corners u have taken that may have been the wrong choice and may have caused an caused some sliding. Maybe by luck or skill made it out of the corner with no damage but still..u cannot say to me that there hasnt been near misses. These near misses sometimes turn into an accident....! This accident was not one of pure careless idiotic driving...the driver has had experience on OP and taken it many times before. He was driving near his limit, true...but that one corner...was a bad choice..! his tyres are really crap...maybe he might have gotten out of that spin on another day..but last night he spun it and hiot the barrier!

Accidents do happen wen u race on the streets, and u do ur best to limit the accidents by learning ur car and learning the track, but there are always times when that wrong choice is made and we have to live with those choices and hope that no one makes a choice leading to a fatality. No matter how fast u r going, how great u are at driving, or how well u know ur car!!!! There are too many factors involved in street racing!

don't i know that too well...

hey, sh1t happens and it was just hard luck it happened three times last night. it's all good in the end if no one is hurt. who gives a crap about a hunk of metal

[Rac33r]

thats right..! the type R basically said that to me last nite.! this is jus a car..! He was jus glad he didnt hurt neone..! Things can be fixed!

[XrSiSt]

Unfortunately accidents happen everyday due to many reasons,

rain, tyres, driver error, road condition etc etc. As with anything,

if things happen more in a certain area the cops will be onto it.

Rac33r, sorry. I didn't mean to stir anything was just curious on

exactly what happened to warn others on here of a particular

part. Maybe a weather change affected a certain section of the

road? With this cold weather and the water i've seen on that

road I can definately see something like that happening.

As ONARUN said, glad no one got hurt.

I overheard a conversation.

[Rac33r]

nah man...u didnt stir nefn up..! hehe..! all good..! Neither did URMINE..! jus thought I wud give my point of view on accidents..! hehe! Yeah tyres cud have been a factor..! But I think that was it..I took the corner right behind him just as fast and was okay..! I was jus saying that accidents occur to the best of drivers..!! obviously a lot less to the best..but sometimes u are jus pushing that fine line between an accident and a fast corner and u may come out of it the worst...just thought I would remind pplz of this fact..! and that this is the "racers life"....deal with it...!

But it was dry..! but yeah normally second sector is pretty damp if it had rained anytime in thelas tcouple of days..! yeah i know wot u mean..like if the road is a darker colour..be careful..! but yeah I thought the road was quite dry.!
