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

I was going to mention I was scared as hell but I didnt want to seem like a wussy, lol. I will definitely bring another pair of boxers in case of a mishap but lets hope for the best.

Bring your camera and post some pics. Not of the underwear.

Oh yeah. If it's moving hit it. If it's not moving. Hide behind it.

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
