good to see safety doing their job!

by **BBJ** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 9:08 pm

Mind you they used a fair few fire extingiushers to put it out, had to get some more brought in.

Good to hear everyone was OK. Pity about the bikes though. Well captured John.

BBJ - great captures

It can be a expensive and dangerous sport for this very reason.

by **BBJ** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 9:52 pm

That it can be, i was sort of standing down that way earlier and moved on and was saying i have never seen are accident on that straight and well later it happens. Thats the name of the game.

BBJ, awesome capture, thats one hell of a fireball

Jeepers!!

I've never seen anything like that since Yanagawa's get off in the Supers! They certainly made sure they did a good job. Nice capture John! Glad the riders weren't too banged up, but can't say much for their bikes. Were there any TV camera's around BB or was it just a local race meet?

nicely captured...

cheers

Great capture John,

Sad to see, feel sorry for the riders / owners, a very expensive Bar-B-Q :cry:

by **BBJ** on Sun Mar 12, 2006 9:29 pm

Thanks all for the coments, well one of the riders that was pulled from under his bike was back into it again today on another bike. His other bike is cactus but Jase i do believe someone got the incident on vid cam and no tv as this is a Victorian club hires our track for the weekend.

There was another startline crash today but not as firery as this one.
