No. But he had reached the end of his power cable, and the sudden tug knocked him over. ;) :lol:

The fastest speeds I saw were 30mph. They have two races, the first is the high school kids and the second race is the "open" race.

The guy that crashed cut the corner too close and caught his front wheel which sent him over.

The corner prior to the above 'crash' corner is a tight hairpin corner, there were lots of crashes there, so I think that will be my setup spot for next year.

First thing i spotted :lol:

It's a great shot, something different for this forum yet still very much in the right place.

Send it to the Green Party and see if they still think electric cars are safe :D
