Philip Island Historics 2012

[Rod Grimwood]

according to Rob G the accident happened in Fridays practice ...the driver was thrown out onto the track...very lucky

No, Stan was in his car, he has seat belts and plenty of them. The unfortunate guy who got exited from his car was the driver of the Cooper Bristol which hit the pit wall very hard and he had no belts ? not a nice site when you are working on car and hear a almighty thump and sprapping noise, look up and see a wreck (it was a mess) sitting in the middle of track and then notice no one in it, walk out as an official sprints past and a women is screaming her head off up the pits a bit, look out pit fence and about 50 metres up the the track is somebody laying spead eagle like a starfish on his back on the track. It was pretty upsetting for every one.
