Driver cut from Kit Car after Aberdeen Crash
I don't know any more details, other than this. Looks like the guy is OK, but it's not nice at all. I have my kit car at work today,
I'll be taking it easy on the way home.
Looks like a yellow seven of some sort.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

nasty, first I've heard of it. Seems a very long time to remove someone from a 7 style car 
hope they recover soon.
there's been an awful lot of crashes lately in the local papers and big ones too. Me and Missy passed that Audi wrapped round the lamp post and
I heard the woman in it had now lost her legs

Wow that looks a mess, the article says the driver escaped serious injury which is amazing given the state of the car.

Having been there myself, my rebuild is having a full roll cage and I am also strengthening the chassis. I did walk out of mine though so my thoughts
are with the guy and hope he recovers quickly.

If it it a Striker I'm not that surprised they struggled to get him out, the cockpit is tiny!!
Hope he's well though!!

I bet the firefighters took so long as the chassis rails run right past the drivers legs etc.
one slip and they would have messed him right up!

exactly the reason I'm going full cage on my striker this winter
One I know for sure is that I'll break my upper leg if I would get into an accident that's a bit sideways, I'm stuck between a
vertical chassisrail and the tunnel
cockpit in the striker is not comfortable at all for a 6'2" driver like me

I had a bad accident recently (photos and detials to come!) and the full roll cage saved me in another way. The front right wheel got ripped clean off
inc suspension and wishbones. It hit the roll cage about 2 foot off the floor and flew over the top just catching the top of my crash helmet. Without
the cage it would of spanked me in the head. The crash helmet saved any further injury! I always wanted a full cage for looks and safety. My next car
will deffinatly have one!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
