Nostalgia Drags, Australia Nuttn Fancy

Just received email from a friend details below, didnt make the drags myself but my thoughts are with the Driver
On Saturday there was a bad crash at the Nostalgia Drags in Ballarat, Victoria Australia, 1/8th mile on Airstrip
Burgo the driver is reportedly OK, his ride NUTT"N FANCY is toast.
Body and Ch***is would be stuffed maybe he can save something though

Thats tuff to watch. Hope everything turns out ok .

 

here's some pics of the crash
the guy walked away with a couple of scratches and bruises but has already started rebuilding. Unfortunately his wife is making him get rid of the blown and injected small block

 

Burgo the driver went to work on the monday after the crash saturday and 9 hour drive home on the sunday. Looks to me like that cage paid for it self double time, that is reason we put them in cars.
Very lucky.

 

Wow that is unfortunate...glad to hear he is standing.

 

I don't know which looks worse: the stills or the motion. EEK! Glad he's OK.

 

And started the engine the Monday night. Fired first shot.

 

WOW!!!! Glad he is OK and it seems like it hasn't scared the life out of him. Who ever took the pic of the crash did a hell of a job. Good luck and hopefully someone will post pics of the re-build.... If the guy is not a HAMBer... he should be.

 

HOLY ****!!!!!
Glad he's ok - WOW!

 

OH NO !!!!! Glad he is OK, hope it can be rebuilt to it's former glory....

 

Thats a rough one. Typical Aussie comment at the end of the video, "yeah, he,ll be allright "

 

What a great lookin' A.First off,glad he,s ok and then hopefully, able to put the pieces back together.Nostalgic

 

Al is not down and out; he has been hot rodding and drag racing for too long to give up. He was planing his next project before he was released from hospital. Glad you were not hurt too much and lookin' forward to seeing the new ride.

 

SON Of A *****!
That looked bad, glad he is alright though.
Doc.

 

Props go out to the driver of the Mustang for getting there first. That's sportsmanship fellas! I guess that crashing is also one of the risks of driving and racing these old cars. Glad to hear he's OK!

 

WOW..........glad to hear that he is alright.

man that hurt`s to watch ! glad he`s OK . but that poor model a
looks like that right rear tire started slipping ?

 

Glad he's okay. Any clue what happened? I was wondering if the steering/suspension broke before the swerve. I doubt the driveshaft let go, or if it did that it could drop to the pavement.
