mate have seen zaps rat run the strip at Ravenswood and Kwinana many times over the years - he doesn't bounce it very often but that definitely would have called for a change of the grundies [:0][B)]

Ouch! He's been driving that thing in one form or the other for so long. Shame to see it like that.

Yeah, he'll be back.
They reckon he was on the phone ordering parts as soon as he got back to the pits.[8D]

We were sitting in the stand at the end of the track when it happened & he stopped directly in front of us.
My missus was peaking but i was pretty sure he was ok cos yoiu could see him moving around undoing his harness & shit.
Still a fucken hard hit though, would've rattled the bones for sure.

Both cars seemed to lose it at the same time. Coincidence or something on the track?

They had both run in the 5 second range during the day & it was going to be a tight race.
I think they both stepped up the tune up & threw everything they had at it & both lit up the tyres at about 60'.
Unfortunately Zap didn't recover.:(
