What an unusual accident,not many people do a pirouete before going jugs up.That may well be a testament to his skills.He has built many a pro car/chassis.

And has been racing powerfull cars with short wheelbases for years(and years)
All the best to him and lyn.Hope to see them back soon..

Blimey, must take some balls to plant the right foot again when yer spinning like a top! Best wishes to Frank, hope it all works out.

Nice to hear the bikees going totally quiet then cheering when he gets out. Unlike some Oz and US clips when the crowd cheer a crash......

The track at the Bulldog is notouriously treacherous. Bikes with muddy tyres screaming up and down it all day then a couple of powerful cars doing demo runs at lunch etc, with not alot of track prep in between.

Tony stuffed his Altered there in much the same manner years ago.

Good to see the emergency crew at the scene within seconds. Well done Shakey Crew!

Yikes! That could have been me at Gary's Picnic if my car was runnning well and that dodgy front tyre of mine let go at the top end of a run (yes - awaiting the "wouldn't have been going fast enough" gags)...

He'll be gutted but good to see him on two feet. There's a HELL of a lot to be said about full safety equipent in these cars.
