He was fine not even a bruise or scratch and everyone was OK in the crowd.
What happened was we have had problems with bad tyre shake which some times is so bad Tony has to shut it off because he cant see it's so violent and that can be caused by all manner of things, but we went with the fuel system and changed a few things, this picture was the race before last had a good launch.

So we left the set up alone but this time it carried the front wheels higher so when he lifted off the car came down hard and broke the front N/S A-Arm causing the front to dip down and the rear O/S tyre to break loose and shot the car in to the wall at about 170 then it ended up on it's side and slid the rest of the way through the gantry with a respectable time of 12.2 seconds :biggrin:
