Title: grasstrack sidecar crash
Post by: firko on November 18, 2013, 09:59:15 pm

WILL PENFOLD CRASH at 2013 Poacher British Grass track. Reminds me a little of Peter Lawson's motocross sidecar crash at the Pt Pirie Nats a few years ago.

gulp.

Hope they are ok.  Looked terrible.

that happened to my mate.  when it landed on him he had a very very long stay in hospital and struggled for years afterwards (and to this day)

Still mad for it though!!!!

That was sickening to watch the thought running thru your head as your propelled forward thru the air at that speed would be terrifying hopefully they were ok couldn't imagine the chair being much good after though!

AL.

The sidecar landed on the bikes of Dutch grasstrack rider Mark Stiekema.   Fortunaly nobody was hurt, but his 2 bike are total loss and who is going to pay the damage.
Still no news from the Insurance, makes you think again.
