Ok, so just got an update on the kid that got taken to hospital from the Go Karting that was going on on the North Track.

Had the kid been wearing a cheaper helmet, he would have died.

He has broken his cheek bone in 5 places

Broken Jaw as well.

He was in a coma, and they are removing the drain plug from his brain today.

They are unsure if permanent damage has been sustained.

One of the girls i work with, her cousin was racing in the go karts.

I'll keep updating as I hear.

But wishing him a speedy recovery.

Hey people, I was @ the race watching the whole thing as I went to help my mate (his son Stefan finished second in the rookie class as this was NSW title race)

This kid Ryan 11yo, from QLD the latest according to my mate he is going to make it fine, However still more tests to be done.

It did look bad as he was coming down the straight missed a turn clipped the cone and kart fliped to left side when he made an impact with a conrete wall at end of the grass hill and they red flegged the race immidiately.

All the boys were taking the accident really bad as they made friends during this 5 day meet, My mate son was crying when he herd what happen.

He 's now buying top of the range helmet/neck brace as well.

I was there to see you all and I must say all the cars looked and sounded great and some of you are real dare devils taking that left hander after straight.

My boy loved Duncans car and other yellow 32gtr awsome machine.

I was going to bring my baby as well but radiator top tank intake snapped of last saturday so getting new alloy one this weekend.

See you next track day!!!

I hope someone got a vid of that massive lockup of the white silvia (?) headed straight for the tire wall.

LOL....that was me!!! It was the first lap that day that I really got some speed out of the corner onto the straight and completely forgot that my brake booster was adjusted days before and that new braided brake lines had just been fitted, so I did what I normally do and that was push the brake pedal really hard to get the brakes to apply (I used to have to push the brake pedal in really far before the brakes would work!!!) and that was the result......MASSIVE LOCKUP .. I now know that I don't have to hit the brakes that hard anymore.

BTW, great news to hear that the boy in the Kart accident is going to be ok

Demon I got the whole thing on film, I was standing at the end of the pit wall - got about 5 frames then had to take a step back because I thought you were going to hit the wall! ;)

Pics should be up in the next day or 2 people - my PC has been hit with a 'slow virus' so what would've taken 2 days has taken 7 days. :D

Bugger! Youtube disabled the audio. I'll have to cut some different tracks for it and repost it.

OK - sorry 'bout three posts in a row.

Here is the revised version with YouTube happy sound track (geez took three goes!):

(Turns out YouTube doesn't let you use ACDC "Back in Black" - shame because it is a great track tune.)

Thanks folks, I figured that everyone would like to see their car so tried to get lots of shots of different cars. Also walked all over the track as you can see from the different angles. I was so worn out by the end of the day.

Glad you all like it :)
