Bathurst 2015 - Scratch one factory Ford1

One very big accident, driver has a broken Femur and Wrist, four of the flaggies with a few cuts and bruise while the fifth one is under observation.
Coming off the Dipper he clipped a very small kink on the left wall, ricocheted off into the right wall and shot back to the left, flicking the car up past the marshals station, then bounced off the wall and backed into the wall big time.
Make one small error of judgement and 'The Mountain' bites hard.

According to the Saturday medical reports the marshals are fine and the one taken in for observation has been released (and wanting to get back to his post!), while the driver has had surgery and is good.
He's out for the year and will be needing further surgery to insert metal rods into both breaks as they are are completely snapped clean breaks.
Top 10 qualifying was conduct in steadily increasing rain, by the time the quickest drivers from dry practice came out the circuit was soaked.
All 10 drivers did an epic job regardless of their qualifying position, David Reynolds (Falcon) topped the times by beating the heavy rain, and Shane Van Gisbergen (Commodore) put in an amazing run in pouring rain (sideways, drifting and way faster than he should have been) for P6.
Best single lap qualifying drive I've seen for many years!:triumphant:
Weather forecast for Sunday is not good, an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms!
Could be another win for the Pace Car.
One more enormous accident today, driver received a punctured lung in one of the 'Aussie Race Car' rounds when three of the cars tried going through the chase side by side!
Ironically, he was punted off by his brother.
Family gatherings might be rather strained for some time!:173go1:

Why am I not surprised?
That category is for low end of the driving gene pool and aimed at the Bogan audience.

You really need to broaden your racing horizons Ed.
'Ute Racing' is a misnomer.
