George just had a heavy stack @ Syd Dragway. Near halftrack, looked to have dropped fluid and gone head on into wall. He's okay but damage probably won't buff out.

Yeah first time ive seen it since its gone auto again, launched hard but fcuk as soon as he clicked 2nd some sort of mist appeared underneath and then it was all over. Hope you're ok bud, as they say, thats racing. Not to mention, there was some sort of evil against VLs @ wsid tonight, I blew the a water line off my turbo, another VLT smashed a top control arm on his 1st pass.... As long as everyones ok

Very sad to hear, car's can be rebuilt or replaced but as long as George is ok, that is the main thing. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Anth reckons he will have it fixed by the Jambo, front and rear passenger side quarters are pretty smashed in. They dont know what happened and dont reckon it dropped anything though it really looked like there was a whole heap of something on the track when it broke loose, and they dragged the tractor. so i dont know. The rear end is all locked up so they think that is a possibility, though it could be a result of the impact, the body is pushed on to the tyres. I am sure they will have a autopsy result tomorrow on here.
