Although i remember not happening to me thankfully, a mate was practising around the track and pulled off...when walking down to get his car some marshall decided to place the car in the middle of the track...another car came full speed behind it and broke the chassis right in half... think it was a HPI chassis Spectator saw the crash and said that the HPI flew about 1 m in the air straight up and crashing to the floor with two halves of the chassis plus the hub carier still attached to the wheel was rolling around somewhere. OH Dear
at Castle Hill my dad put his pro2 on the track infront of the drivers stand were i couldnt see it, i ran a little wide onto the straight and destroyed the rear bulkhead on it, my car was fine. Adz did the same thing, but it just stripped the ball jont off the threads of the shock shaft, my car was alright again.
would anyone like to put their car infront of mine while im going down the straight, im going for a guiness world record

NSW OFF ROAD TITLES
My bad days were at the NSW titles when i had driven about 900kms to race at the titles and in 2 days i only managed to finish 4 races.
This was due to radio problems.
The fact that it cost me about $1000 to go there just compounded the problems.
SInce getting home to QLD i have found out it was my receiver was too dirty and the wiring on my speedy wasnt up to scratch so its getting fixed now.
