Word from Bathurst regarding the mower crash from Barney:
“I know it has been posted already, but this is a pic I took.
Have to say its one of the strangest crashes I have ever seen. Firstly I have never seen a lawn mower do about 80kmph, nor have I seen someone fly through the air like quite like this bloke.
I was one of the first on the scene and had the privilege of calling 000 and had to explain to the call centre that there had been a lawn mower crash at Mt Panorama. The woman asked what road it was on my only answer was Forrest Elbow. Didn’t think she was believing what I was saying.
I was standing at the marshals post that Mostert took out at the 1000. Then i hear the toot toot of a horn, look up the hill to see the bloke honking the horn on a ride on mower. This guy was flying, I recon 70 - 80kph, the thing was buzzing so hard it sounded like a Clubman kart engine just about to 4 stroke. I said to my mates he will never make Forrest elbow at that speed. Sure enough, he turned in, I could hear the scraping sound of the mower rolling onto its cutter shroud, then bang straight into the tyre wall. I could see legs-arms-legs-arms as he flew through the air over the wall bouncing of the Bentley sign boards before wrapping himself around a letter box pole on the other side of the wall about 8 or so metres from the mower. If you look at the pic you can see a blue mark on the wall, that where he hit and the guy in the high vis is looking at him!
Anyway we shoved him in the Ambulance and I believe he is going to be ok. Fucking strange thing to see”

000 seems more sensible than 911.

that mower does not look particularly modified... was he just letting gravity do all the work? removed the rev limiter? pully change for gear-ratio? I want to know!

yeah, not much to go on from the story, but certainly sounded like he was just giving a stock mower the full boot, perhaps no limiter
