I wonder how much notice he was given to convert it this time?

All the shit turned up for it yesterday, they new 2 week's ago but eh gear only just turned up...

[Snowman]

So 3 more days of snow now for Mt Buller!

And the weather forecast for next weekend ain't all that special either. Sure looks like an interesting weekend ahead of us.

Quick update, Kel and her driver Geoff are OK but had a big hit this morning.

[sav man]

saw that on rally live. seems a few have been dropping out.

Heres whats left of Matts clutch and bell housing.

[Marlin]

Plenty of bad luck getting around!

Matt and co had some look luck however having legs intact judging by that pic!

[Neil]

Just spoke to Kelly,,,she's okay,,,very sore but in good spirits. No piss-up tonight for her.

Great News indeed.

Cheers

Neil.

[Duncan]

hmm still has the neck brace on but they think it is all fine.

estimated impact was 100+, head on to the bank.

[MBS206]

From what I've been reading on FB, if she's not in high spirits Neil, then it has to be the Morphine doing the typing!

Hope she's all okay and outta there quick smart!

[Neil]

Yea mate got the same,,,cheeky girl is in love with roll cages and her hans now. She said something about running again in January.

Just very happy your wifey is okay mate !!!.

Cheers

Neil.

[Duncan]

yeah same....imagine the naging I would get if she wasn't!

Matt....what is this faceplace you speak of?

[Duncan]

interestingly for the nsw-ers who know her too, Alex Hailstone (-alex on sau) was navigating in the other team car and had a great run in her first event.. excellent to hear Alex is still keen to be part of the scene, and diving right into it. props to her for getting in the silly seat of a rally mx-5

YT is no longer the winner. There was a timing error, and Weeks is now the winner.

and sad news to hear that John Batkin died of a heart attack on a transport stage

[Neil]

yeah same....imagine the naging I would get if she wasn't!

Matt....what is this faceplace you speak of?

I beleive it's called Facebook mate,,,while I am somewhat of a member,,,I only use it for Radical racing stuff. Dump is hurting SAU!!!.

Cheers

Phew, Glad Kel is ok!! I saw it on facebook and kept checking for an update!! Good to see one on here!

[MBS206]

You do know, to stop the nagging, you just need to unplug the driver/navigator intercom right?

Facespace... That's facespace Drunkan

Extremely glad to hear she's all good, although, I feel sorry for the doctor who said she wasn't allowed out of the hospital to go drinking tonight!

Any word on exactly what happened? I understand head on into an embankment at speed, was this a mechanical failure or a normal racing incident?

I so wish I didn't get car sick whilst trying to read notes... It seems the easiest way to get into this stuff the fun way!!! As you encountered, even me trying to use a phone to browse the net for a minute or two made me ill and we were cruising on a public road!

Absolutely great to hear Alex went well, I was following her facebook postings, and initially thought she'd just gone down to spectate!

Hrm, now to find out the easiest way into it as a driver... If that won't work, official!

[Duncan]

Well both driver and navigator confirmed it was not a navigator error.......so driver or mechanical failure

either way, scans and xrays came through last night and nothing serious.....no doubt she'll be very sore for a few days though
