But the best 1 was when Lowndes had that really bad crash at Calder Park, It was really nice that drivers stopd 2 help him!!

Means a lot to me, and more importantly, to all the volunteers, regardless of what we do. Its ironic that since posting this, I have been inside a crashed HQ, and got two Forimula Ford guys out of a horrendous crash, both at QR. Oh well, it's all fun and games. Note to Jamie: Ban me from posting a week before the QR V8's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Dasha. Means a lot to me, and more importantly, to all the volunteers, regardless of what we do.

As you pointed out motor racing can be dangerous and unfortunately sometimes people are hurt or even killed. So I want to congratulate you on the work that you do because without people like you, flagies and just people that volunteer to help behind the scenes we wouldn't have any motor racing. So cheers to you mate and lets hope you never have to attend a fatal accident, well done and top post. Dasha.

Funny thing... I said to my Dad on the Friday of Bathurst in 05' that it would be funny if someone had an accident and blocked the track and the winners of the race got through and everyone else was stuck behind the accident. Well i came close enough, so that was a memorable incident..... Also Lowndes in 1999.... huge accident, but can't get over the way that all the other drivers stopped for him, great stuff (and the way that LP had a geez under the HRT car lol) Skaife/ Ingall at EC in ‘03 was a good laugh (although a very serious situation) did make for good entertainment.

The 1983 top ten shootout lap when Dick Johnson had the Green's Tuff Falcon absolutely screaming and then just before Conrod the back end stepped out & tagged the wall then the front tire hit a tire barrier and broke hid steering arm & sent him flying off into the trees. I nealy started cryn coz it looked that bad I thought he would've been killed. The car was like someone had just screwed up an aluminum can. And then there was the rebuild "ALL NIGH", and the car would've been OK if they hadve wired the alternator up properly, it kept on draining his batteries. I will never forget that, you can see it on U Tube just type in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ektTw5lpoyY The one that I will never forget is an oldie but goes down in Bathurst legend status.

It's funny, because I get to many things that the punters don't see, a privelege that I hold close to my heart, I may add. My most memorable experiences as a rescue official are all seemingly small things. I shared a bottle of Gatorade with Kerryn Brewer on a stnking hot day at Lakeside once, I have shared a urinal with half of the grid after the first pit stop at Bathurst, and even pit crewed at the QLD500 once! My favorite experince is yet to come: Its the next time when I get inside a crashed car and i see the look of relief in a driver's eyes and I say "Hi buddy, i'm John, I'm a firefighter, your safe now." That's what I live for. I hate all crashes, particularly ones that I have to attend…..

Agreed, Ingall/ Skaife at EC and Ambrose's "control tyre" (great call by Barry Sheene) are the funniest incidents. Got most enjoyment out of Skaife and Murphy both going into the wall together at turn 8 at Adelaide in 2006- after that I didn't care who won, but glad Jamie did anyway. And Skaife/ Perkins at Bathurst... in fact any crash involving Skaifey does it for me! Wow, that was a close one Dorothy.
