Oh no!!!!
What happened to Joe Pants? Was it him or you driving? Is it only light and tub damage?
Oulton is tricky in the wet.
Senor Joseph was doing the driving I'm afraid...
Was a few minutes before the end of the day...
Light, FG bodywork, Ali diffuser, and it may have punched a hole in the fuel tank...
So is this Joes car or yours?
Ah well - poor Joe. Is he bothered or will he get straight back onto his next booked track?
Is the tub repairable Pants?
Did it happen at your "special" corner?
Is this another question?
FFTS - Joe's

When I did mine, he said, if it was him he'd get out and kick the c**p out of it. So did he?
Where did it happen or don't I need to ask?

Oh dear
Thats why I stopped doing trackdays - after 2 crashes and one serious engine blowup...........in just four trackdays
I feel for you, always faced with the issue of trackdays and your cars safety. But as mentioned earlier, atleast it gives you something to do 
ha ha no im not bothered at all to be honest, a bit of polish and it will be reet, i had a great day out today, lots of new faces and lots of other
fellow locosters there too.
Shame about the car, but as i went to get on the track the fella said theres 8 min left mate, so i was pushing hard to get some last laps in.
I had full wets on the back and 888's on the front, to cut a long story short the wheels with the wets would not fit, a bit of head scratching
and some bright spark though maybe some washers to space it out might do, but then again 2 threads on the wheels nuts actually might have saved the
car, lol., but also might have fallen off. 
.
Steve thanks for being there as pit biatch, tea boy, photo lad and a good mate .
I must say though wets on the rear did help, i took mr dangle out for a few laps and i would say must have passed at least a dozen cars in the pissing
rain, could hardly see .
Mind you this chap did 20 min, i followed him back into the pits, he was gutted.

Quality - Nice one Joseph!
That 106 looks like the Lotus from "The Spy Who Loved me" now....Not that it helps him now!
Gutted for you Joe,you looked to be really enjoying yourself in the wet as we left,did it happen coming out of druids
Paul was having loads of fun thats what its about , lost the front braking for cascades but it snatched back and i spun in to the armco barrier
.
With the wets on the back although it was really good, when the car wanted to slide the car's rear would stay planted to the track and the front
was just like a water ski, when i had Steve in the car i lost the car coming out of the Hislops chicane, was a very weired feeling, juddered the car
infact.
Any how its done, just packing for the ski trip to Austria tomorrow, but im still smiling from today. Cant wait for another session, hopefully a dry
one.
That was really unlucky then Joe,to hit a armco down there ,chin up,and have a good holiday
Have a good hols Joe!

Unlucky Joe, at least it's only car damage.
So then Steve, what we thinking? should he gone for the washer option
Seen on another forum, it seems a clio glanced a wall too
Chris
Yep - coming up the hill into druids - clipped the barrier on the left and span round.
Left a right load of muck on the track ;-)
Sorry to see your bump Mr Welderman.
Should have shouted as well - would have taken you out in the 5.

JOE! OH NO!
Gutted for you mate! What happened? I feel terrible for you mate, you must be SICK.
I am guessing you are ok? Anyone else involved?
I hope it is a simple fix and you are back on the road soon.
I guess I was right about you pushing harder than me, I didn't have a kahoonas for it, so mucho respect for going the full 100%, and the
momentary 101% as you crashed
I don't think I got much above 75%!
Give me a shout if you need a hand with any of the work, I'll get in the way mostly, but I'm good at making tea.
(let me know if you want a hi-res copy)

Steve, why wouldn't the wheels fit and how would the washers have helped?
