It would seem that there will be 1 less competitor at the rerun of the Nostalgia Drags.
For those that have not heard, Burgo managed to destroy his A coupe at last weekends Nostalgias at Ballarat. Fortunately he walked away unhurt. Pretty amazing when you see the accident.
Here's a video:

Here's a pic of the car at the last round at WSID.

I love prangs and accidents like that where the competitor comes over as quick as possible.

Sort of goes from wanting to "kill" the other guy to helping them out, it doesn't get any better in my eyes.

Who remembers the big crash Craig Lowndes had at Calder Park at the end of the main straight a few years ago? I was there and saw it happen before me as I was up that end. To see how many cars stopped racing and went to his aid was a real eye opener.

Cheers  M

isn't that odd....

you can have a drive a 1000hp machine champing at the bit which is not street legal, but riding a pushbike is way too dangerous...

LMAO

as long as it has a motor huh.i think there's still a chance of a nostalgia motored pushbike class!
we could also put electric motors on them and argue the point that they run em at bonneville(i think the record is around the 100 mph)i suppose it is a motorbike frame though.

100 MPH on a Pushy would be scary for us old folks :o :o The Dexon at 60MPH on those  little mini bike wheels makes your heart pump .......FC427......

100 miles an hour is scary for most anyone ,let alone on a pushbike,

security guards don't like fun .it makes them have to work ;D
