OOOOPPSS no one likes to here bad news like that..
Glad he's ok.
Glad he's ok, shame about the car but feck it, there's plenty more cars out there, spare legs, arms and heads are harder to find.
glad to hear he's ok shame about the car?
Sounds like another one may have gone off in the day, Dave R5 into the wall backwards as well & a few spins !
All ok I hope, I suppose with the wet or damp conditions it was inevitable that some would spin etc.
Nick walked away, looked a little spaced out understandably, but gave us the thumbs up before being bundled in the ambulance for checks.
Cars a right mess, sure there will be pic's up here soon enough, i dont know how it happened but the car was a good third of the way down the main straight following "elbow" corner, from what i hear it came off track, dug in the grass and flipped a couple of times, before coming to a rest on the barriers.
Main thing is Nick seams OK :agree: I hope if you read this buddy your smiling about it, nobody can tell you, you were not trying :goodJob:
sh*t sounds like a bad one?Quote:

10 to 15 minutes towards the end of the last session.
not gd hope hes ok. at at the end of the day its only a car it can be replace
was bad glad he is ok i watched it happen. he caught the grass and the car started sliding and it dug in and and rolled over about 3 times and came to a rest against the barrier. At least he is ok thats the main thing
hope he is ok.
**** man. He helped me with mine after my off hope ur ok bud
Yeh he seemed fine :agree:
I was right by the barrier he crashed at, and overheard him speaking to the stewards.
Had a great day, not long got in, Sadly nick did write his car off - but in bloody good fashion, so fair play there :) I hope that he is ok and recovers well & gets a replacement car for future events.
Just got this from facebook, looks like nick is ok :-)
"Tory Bullock Unfortunate end to a great national day but nicks ok just bruises and whiplash (could've been alot worse!), thanx to everyone for the support and concern x"
I have 1200 pictures and pretty much a pic of every car that went on track... caught a few spins (including 1 of nick before the above accident) :)
didnt get to go:cry: but its never nice to hear that someone's had an off. hope both dave and nick are ok and sort out some new cars quick.:wasntme:
:( hopefully somethings salvageable. Atleast he's ok.
Nick will be back stronger and better than ever, thats the way he does things. He will love have this tale to tell.
His bruises will heal, age is against him but he will heal.
We Love you Tarmac Trasher!!!!
:agree:
Top guy came to help me on thursday never met him before but he came out of his way to help.
I was out on track when Nick went off. I came into the pits and there was half the paddock climbing the side wall. The other cars that came in were parked up in the pit lane to see what the commotion was about. I saw the car and honestly thought someone hadn't walked away from the crash. Nick was walking about, clearly in shock but at least he was ok.
Sorry to hear this Nick - I hope you are OK and get well soon!
BTW - which car was it? The green Clio or the Williams lookalike??
It was the Willy look-a-like.
Glad to here he wasn't hurt and is ok but did bring a real shock as what can happen at a track day, as Adam said was really amazed that he walked out of it.
I got 2 pic's of the car when they had moved it off the track.
I'm just glad Nick is okay. He got out of the car, pulled his helmet off and popped his hat on! :laugh:
I can't imagine how Tor must have felt when she found out though, that's really been playing on my mind. I really cannot believe that I looked over the barrier and I saw the destroyed car....and then Nick walking around next to it. Insane and extremely lucky! We're all glad you are okay Nick, now just take some time to rest up, relax and let Tor look after you. :agree:
The car held up pretty well without a cage.

Glad to hear your alright Nick :agree:
:niceone: :niceone: :niceone: Millie & I are so relieved that everythings OK with you mate!!!
We were having a proper ding dong on the track just before your big accident!! Finally you had a reliable/well sorted car under you & the track was dry & us in our Clio's were on fine form!!
After much trying you eventually let me past then on the next lap I realised you weren't behind me & we were being red flagged!? :confused:
As Adam then mentioned we were all ushered into the pits & everyone was rushing to the wall to see what happened & I just caught you picking your (now) Lucky hat up off the track & putting it on your head! :laugh:
You'll be pleased to know that I videoed the recovery truck pulling your car off the track so you'll have something to show your grandkids when your giving them the "so you think you're a smart driver do you eh?" Speech!!
May pop round tomorrow morning if you're about & I can leave you an A-Frame to help you recover the Snotty Clio :laugh:
That's just harsh when the man's down...................Quote:

Sounds like a very eventful National day, and I wont be missing one again!!!
nick glad t hear your ok.
That doesn't look too healthy, glad to hear you are ok bud :agree:
Hi all :)
Thanks for all the messages of support, Been back to mallory today to inspect whats left of the clio :( I really don't know how i walked away from that :eek:. That was a proper crash!.
I can remember the whole thing, I came out of the corner to shallow which put me across the track the towards the rumble strip and i thought i might just make this, the drivers back wheel touched the strip and then the back end let go and car started to come around anticlock wise. It dug in and then it became a light aircraft with no wings. Im sure it rolled twice, i just remember hanging on to the steering wheel and ducking down thinking this is not quite what i had in mind. When it finally landed i looked at the drivers door and thought i don't think thats going to open very well, look at the passenger door and umm. so i went for the dukes of hazard style exit out of the passenger window. I looked at the car for a sec :scratch:( that will not T-cut out ) then the boys in green arrived and carted me off to the hospital, not before i rescued my cowboy hat off the track.
So to sum up.
Dont drive like a t%*t on a wet track with crap tyres on your car as you might not be so lucky as me! Lesson learned the hard way :crap:
On a brighter note, the F7R megane engine that was i the clio seems to have survived and its still got coolent in it :agree: The willy wheel i need to have a good look at. Interia might need a hoover!
Cheers all.
Nick.
Lucky boy Nick !
Glad you're OK :)
Glad your ok nick :) :agree:
:yeah:Quote:
