I put this particular animation together for another forum to because there was some debate about the possibility that the individual images were presented out of sequence. I figured that as my animation is being passed from forum to forum, I might as well let you guys see it.



This happened very recently at a "Cruise" event at the local circuit race track. It was a "low speed" cruise event, so helmets weren't required, and the poorly installed 4 point seatbelts proved useless in a rollover.

Fortunately there were no serious injuries. The passenger (on the left side ... the car is RHD) received grazes and needed stitches for a gash in her head from hitting the roll bar, but was back at work within a couple of days.

The car is an LJ series ('72 to '74) Torana. That generation Torana is basically a late 60's Vauxhall Viva with the nose lengthened and an inline 6 installed in place of the Viva's 4 cylinder. They were small, light and fast. The one in the images has had the inline 6 removed and a small block V8 installed in its place.

It's a 9 second drag car, but the suspension and tires are exactly what you don't want for drifting.

That looked incredibly nasty. The second or third to last picture looked like somebody may have had some serious damage done.

They were both very lucky to get out if it with no serious injury.
