Just got a text through from Markus - Mentl had a DNF in Heat 1....

Mentl was going good until he hit the wall all on his own. Will keep you updated throughout this evening. :)

Congrats Mentl1. Unfortunately Mum had camera trouble with it conking out so I haven't been able to see any of the racing other than the youtube video's, and going off what Dad's told me. It sounded like ya had a wicked time. Dad said he tried to get ya up the wall at one point but you were quick on the brakes :D . Years of spectating and Online racing helping you avoid some messy situations. From what I have seen and heard I'm impressed.

I've also heard that your going to see the bank manager on Monday first thing, something about getting a loan out for a new hobby? ;p .

The hit on Dad looks quite impressive ae! He got some serious air. For the record Chassis is still straight as! Motor fires up straight away. The only thing that was wrong were those circle things that usually aid in ground clearance? Yeah he losted them. Everything just let go at once, definitely going to get a welder upgrade. If you take away all the damage that was caused by welds breaking or cracking then the only real damage is the the right rear axle snapping, and part of the cradle missing??? 1 Metre wide (plus) piece of 75x75mm 5mmthick box section gone? If we were racing this weekend we would be there :crazy: .

P.S - Chassis' have been ruined and people have been ruined from hits like that in much softer more expensive cars that have spent big $$$ on a han's and, racetech seat etc. Never raced again because they were too seriously hurt. There is nothing wrong with a high-tensile flat chassis and a good ol armchair seat. Dads got a cut on his nose from his goggles but he's all good.

:larf: yeah I saw him in the mirrors afew times and thought hmmmm Im not sure I trust him so I moved outta the way lol
In fact the whole last race I was just putting around trying to keep out of all the carnage just so I could finsh the last race :larf: man there was carnage everywhere :D

Trust me there wernt that many in my mirrors I did trust lmao!

Your dad wasnt the only one trying to get me up the wall which I saw coming I was hard on the brakes alright, even thou I killed the brakes in the first race when I ripped the front wheel off :(

Man that crash of your dads bro was sick!!!! All i saw was this explosion of wheels and sparks with this car way up in the air :eek: and thought right away "thats a red light" :larf:

awesome awesome funn!!!!

He wouldn't have hit ya to hurt or cause damage. He would have just hit you to have fun and a knock around.

He wants me to say he plays like Mike Mac _b . Those two have a had some memorable battles, come to think of it so has my brother when Mike came up here, I think I'm next :larf: .

Yea bro, sorry I couldnt be there. Hasnt been a big Speedway year with work hours and all. Would've loved to have been there with a banner!

Good effort bro, you looked pretty good out there and thought out, no rushing things even tho it would have felt like 1000 miles an hour. Nice tidy tap on Marty after his antics too _b

Shot Ments and shot to the 58b crew for letting the man live the dream
