What not to do at the strip.
This guy aquaplaned doing around a tonne.
Through the fence down the side of the runway



Poor guy
Poor scoob

Thats Bob Rawle unfortunately at SSO last weekend.

thats what happens with Toyo R888's when you hit a huge puddle at speed.

He text me that evening - it happened just after the lights and his speed was 126 mph He described it as 'interesting'

You can replace a car
Not a person.
Dame lucky in my book...

Ouch! Is that the exhaust poking out from under the side skirt in pic 2?

rear boot spoiler going half price

Yes thats the exhaust coming out of the side
so who knows what damage was done under the rest of the car.

Not good, lucky to get out of that one OK. As mentioned cars can easily be replaced, so as long as noone hurt I guess you have to put it down to experience - tough break though, feel sorry for the geeza

Whats the deal on these 1/4 mile days - can you insure your car like you can on a trackday ?

I think you can get special track day insurance for these events.
Dont think this geezer had such insurance though

I was at Elvington on Monday at a sprint and had a look at the end of the 1/4 to see how this could have happened, i thought it must have been standing water, the runway surface at the end is very uneven and the amount of rain we had that day it's hardly surprising, I saw it happen twice, the first scoob was more fortunate and stopped just short of the field lucky man, its amazing how much faster you go on the green stuff.

Hope the scoob gets sorted, not nice to see.
