You are indeed correct Slim!.......my brother actually went and had a friendly word with the other Mini driver thinking they were the one off line but upon closer inspection of the aforementioned footage he realised and admitted he was in the wrong

Re: winton historics may
....they just talked about what happened.......nothing heated or anything........it seems if you can get away without brushing someone or something on the Winton short track you are doing well when they are put close to 30 cars out there.

Ripple strip happened... that's what.
Remember this at Bathurst in one of the Historic races? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVbBDcKDmqw
Dave Wheatley rolled his mini. Walked away fine from the accident but ended up in hospital later that day after cutting his hand badly on a bit of the car when loading it onto a trailer.

Re: winton historics may
Someone posted the Winton Historics vid on the Ausmini Forum. The Dave Wheatley one i saw on the news when it happened.
But yeah, i do spend my fair share of time on Youtube when bored.
