Soaps654 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 I'm alright thanks guys, bit sore and i think my necks a few inches longer than it was but other than that ok. There are some other photos on the crashattack website of the inside of the car which you should see if you haven't - i was very lucky to walk away i think!! Cabs - i was a bit wobbily on my feet, and i'm fairly used to that!!! Infact i was a bit like that saturday night in Partners!! And as for Danny Hunt, i can gaurantee you he knew nothing about it, he is not a cheat. He's obviously very upset about it, and as for when hes won championships before, hes been stripped and found all legal so don't go on about cheating before

Mac219 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 New for the summer the 654 saloon convertible 26688[/snapback] Glad to hear youre ok Soaps On the Danny Hunt thing...Obvious oversight from engine builder, Extra lube to Cam is hardly world beating stuff. Didnt somebody use an illegal diff and win world last couple years? Think thats a more obvious 'cheatin' advantage. Cheers Mac p.s Soaps phone Robin Copland, He'll come down and finish the car for ya !

FireStorm Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Big hit your very lucky to walk away with the top of the seat to be bent like that.
Andymek Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Glad to hear youre okay Soapsy!! You did indeed look faaaaaaaar better when you popped your head around the garage door to say you were goin to Danny as what you looked like when you climbed out of the car anyway!! As you mentioned the biggest problem you had, apart from the fact you had taken a hefty knock and wasnt feeling the best you ever had fealt, was the fact the roof had bent the top of your seat down, pushing your head forward and with your seat also having the head restraints on both sides and your steering wheel being in the position it was, getting out of the car in a fit state would have proven difficult nevermind in a dazed and upside down position!!! As for the issue of folk questioning Danny Hunts "legality" as such in previous championships he has won, Well that aint nothing but a load of old 's as the cars has been spot on when we checked it before. CHEERS folks , that's my rant over!! P.S, Nice picture there of the damage firestorm and indeed on Crashattack site,Looks like a pro took them dunnit!!

Andymek Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Statement released earlier on tonight on the SSCA website regarding European Result... Following the Saloon Stock Car European Championship at Cowdenbeath on 14 August 2005, the SSCA confirms that the first car across the line, #382 Danny Hunt was in contravention of rule 2 Engines – Camshafts. Hunt was found to have a cross drilled camshaft. Therefore second placed driver #17 Kenny Purdie, who passed post race scrutineering has been awarded the European Championship. Allegations have been made regarding valve spring seats, and these have been unfounded. The SSCA is fully aware of the problem with valve seats being machined and the rule being unpolicable. This matter was discussed at an SSCA meeting on 13 July with the view to introducing a new ruling for 2006.
NightOwl Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 the problem with valve seats Dunno about the problem with valve seats but I know Soaps has a problem with a bent Kirkey seat! Glad you're ok Soaps. Shame about Danny. Deserved the title for the way he drove all weekend. Next time.
Soaps654 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Andy - just like to thank you and all the other officials etc for your help in getting me out the car. I wasn't too sure what the hell was going on at the time so thanks again to you and the others.

Glad we all could have been of some assistance to you, Hopefully you wont get up to anything like that again though!! Good to see you're feeling fine You and Eddie etc still gonna think of coming back up again this year for the Superbowl or has that put you off? Andy. Edited August 18, 2005 by andymek69
thekirker1 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 well done soaps, nice to see the officials get appreciation for once
Soaps654 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 When your out there racing your all wound up and quite often the officials do end up getting a mouthful, i know i've probably done it myself, sometimes you get the odd one thats a bit "thats more than my jobs worth!" but in general there all out there on your side, and without them who would wave the flags and pull you out of your wrecked cars!!!! So cheers guys!
Soaps654 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Just heard a rumour aswell that Danny Hunt has been banned for 1 month - therefore missing the world final. I hope this isn't true, i'll find out later
Shaft Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 One month thats a bit lenient its hardly going to deter cheats is it!!
Badura_Racing258 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 You only race for the world final, and if you miss that...that's big enough. You lose if you don't win the world. Game over.
Jrusselluk Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Hi, Just seen on the news page here that Hunt has been suspended from racing for one month, and may return on 13 September. James
