a lap with franks at wakefield...

[franks]

hahaha.....well all i can say is russ and jimmy are absolute classics. the video has gone quite far actually, apparently spreading quite quickly throughout the performance car forums

i think its gathering momentum, its all over rexnet and is one very popular video at the moment

[dacow]

what ended up happening at the end when he forgot to break??

[wld33r]

hahaha franks... they are a classics, so as this vid now hahaha

i guess u know his son or... i raced couple of times with russ and jimmy at eastern creek few mth back... good old times...

[franks]

well from what wld33r says, looks like he's just damaged a wheel and tyre? afaik, luckily he didnt tbone the 02 sti, he just went straight past him, up the inside, and straight off the end of the track hahahaha....

[wld33r]

what happened???... luckly for russ noth much, oh well apart from cracked, damaged rim + tyre... pretty good considering they wher doing 130-140 i think...and nearly colected that sti

[wld33r]

yeah lucky sti driver saw him coming and braked... HARD hahaha its funny now but just think what could off happened

[franks]

oh...some funny comments but attrocious driving!!!

russ is a very lucky man, the 02 sti even luckier. i guess it was a case of russ's excitement getting the better of him.

[wld33r]

or presure from jimmy hahaha

russ is usually pretty calm and knows what his doing (a lot of races... used to race minis, i think, 15-20 yrs ago)... but it can happen to any off us

[dacow]

lol.. i was kinda worried then I figured he prob went straight off into the dirt.. i was kinda worried he might have hit the sti
