Hmmmm my best advice from one who has been there and done that..... watch it all unfold form the comfort of the grandstand with a beer and a hot pie, (or what ever you blokes have there to munch on) as it so friggin scary getting lined up by 1.1/2 ton of steel and just waiting for the crunch... better you than me mate... have fun... and take a clean pair of jocks... you will need them... lol

Well done mate.... well if you only got out of it with a sore neck thats a good result, i hope you consumed sufficient quantifies of suitable liquid pain relief after the event???? now just a word of advice for next time, from your pics i see why you didn't blitz the field..... you gotta get a real car next time, the bleeding steering wheel is on the wrong side... that way you will see the buggers sneaking up on you...lol
