Just talking over the rabble here...

There was a story of a race car on a trailer behind a car leaving Hume Weir on the dirt road below the dam once. Something went wrong, dust was flying, cars spinning and all sorts of mess... the tow car and the trailer finished up on their wheels off the road...

But on close inspection it was found that the safety chain on the trailer was wrapped around once!

I think that was the same meeting that some tough guys held up the rear end of an MGA as the owner revved it and did all the things that should work, and it wasn't going anywhere....

Then tough guys dropped the car... with a fair heap of revs on and wheels spinning madly... and were run over because the car was in reverse!

DOH !!!!!!!!

i have a sad one.

heading out to a local speedway near corowa for a day meet ..we came across a man standing in the middle of the road..just staring off into a paddock...we stopped got out to find he was sobbing uncontrolably...we looked to see what he was crying about ...what a mess ..there he was..he had spent 3 or 4 weeks building his race car (allbeit only an old LJ Torana) but he had put everything into it and was off for its race debut ..when minding his own business travelling at about 80 or 90 kph he was confronted by a sigma coming backwards out of a dirt road (P plater hooning along a dirt road and of course didnt see the intersection until too late and jumped on the brakes and lost it into the main road) he swerved to miss the sigma but plowed into a tree beside the road...the torana came away from the trailer and basically wrapped itself around a tree completely destroying it ..if that wasnt enough his fairlane tow vehicle was hit very hard several times by the jacknifing trailer and was basically a write off...fortunately no one was seriously hurt ..but well over $10,000 worth of damge was done to race car , tow car and trailer I would say..and all he could do was cry..

it was sad to see something that someone had put so much effort into destryed by a stupid fool who should have never been there..i dont know what happened but i hope that he payed every penny for all the damage he caused.

Coming home from ameeting at QR last year, come over a crest on the Cunningham Highway near Ipswich and there's a brand new car Hilux 4x4 dual cab ute, on it's roof. I could tell it was brand new because underneath was all clean and shiny. It was still connected to a car trailer which was sitting on its wheels. On the trailer was a very tidy HZ Street drag car, which appeared ton be undamaged!
