Just heard from a mate who is at hospital with Tony - fortunately he is not as bad as first thought but has chipped vertebrae in the upper and lower back, cracked pelvis and both legs/ankles damaged. Considering what has happened he is in good spirits and was just going in for further surgery.
Evidently a nasty accident just past the old club house and as a result of a coming together Tony hit the tyre wall which threw him into the air and he eventually landed upside down back on the track - his helmet was cracked and grazed from making contact with the track. Hope Tony has a speedy and full recovery.
Also heard that there was another accident this morning at Taupo (FF?) that required another driver airlifted to hospital.
