i didnt see it but heard there was a lot off wheel spin off the line and car was skippin from side to side going towards first corner then the nose just went towards the wall, could have broken a steering arm leading to the crash i dunno

Ye he just seemed to catch grip with the arse of the car or lose it wit the front and straight into the wall, lower arm was broke in 2, tension arm snapped, and pulled the steering arm straight out of the rack. He must of pushed back the chassis to because he got out the passanger side door, alloy was twisted in a hoop to. Also the pd lads droppin it from the teleporter couldnt have helped.

Prodrift need a big screen and replays :-)

The level of driving and cars is gone through the roof, its awesome we have it in this country.

Duane was snaking like mad off the line, it was always gonna take a miracle to get that right into the first corner, fair play to the lad for pushing as hard as he could though, gutted for him.

Hard to pick any really stand out drivers as everyone was completely on it, but Adrian Walsh and John Hickey were exceptional. Adrian looks like a pro driver with ten years experience.

Its going to be an unreal year, can only imagine how determined the likes of Alan Sinnot and James Deane will be come Punchestown, not to forget Wez and Dan Moorehead still have cars to come, and possibly Christy carpenter too. Some year to look forward to.

I still can't wait to get back out there

Ps. What happened James Deane?
