Driver killed at Heathcote Raceway, Victoria

[Smashed S15 Bloke]

there was alot of close calls this weekend alone.....
anyone know if the rat is still kicking?

I dont like the guy but I'm pretty sure he isnt dead.

Yeah he's okay.
Got a broken ankle & sternum.
He'll be fine - However, he'll still sound like a Kiwi.

wtf I went to auscarts 2 weeks ago. It would take a huge effort to get injured/killed there.

This is what I was thinking. Hire Karts aren't that quick anyway. According to there site they 6.5 HP hondas. Makes me wonder what sort damage I could do on the Rotax. Next time out my neck brace and helmet are going on extra tight.

Was that morg's go-kart?

Talk about taking the joke too far.

RIP

i agree with the statements above, most karting joints, let alone auskarts, arent that quick what so ever. i think its a case of her number was up, or a freak accident.. probably both.

wonder whats gonna happen with the cost of racing next year

rats gunna be ok, i read tho that because TKR is switching to falcs next yr, they can't really justify building a new car, let alone afford it ATM anyway, to stick another driver into it to complete the season, so its likely they'll have to rent something, stick a driver in it, or face a $250,000 fine per race meet missed from avesco..

That said, id hate to be the rats nads right now, i bet they resemble pancakes after a hit like that, 5/6 point harness's might be good for stopping submarining, but they're torture on the boys..
