The poor Alfa guy... he is a nice guy, he was paddocked next to us. He got back on track and then pulled off after the incident, somehow ventilating his engine block in the process!
Susie restarted and backed up about 50 yards to the berm in a safe spot, the bugeye driver left his car at the edge of the track where it stopped, bringing out the black flag after a couple more laps.
I'm not into hun cars but there is a strong vintage FV group down here.
FV ran in the small-bore prod group as well (with split start), Mike Jackson cleaned house in the old Shadowfax... I have to get his new engine together so he can get back in his TR-3!!!
