Scott is OK

Back again, This weeks post is rather dramatic so I must say first that Scott is OK, a bit battered and bruised but nothing major!
Scott had a nasty and spectacular crash this weekend. It was very fortunate that there was no one close behind him otherwise the result may well have been different.
It was the last lap of the final race and all day there had been hard close racing. Scott and the other junior were racing from the back of the senior Rotax fleet because there were just the two of them. It was shaping up to a photo finish between the two juniors and one of the seniors. They were spread across the finish line going for the flag (junior flag) Scott was on the wall side and pushed his luck perhaps by going for a gap there. The other junior moved across, not realising that Scott was right there and their wheels touched. Scott's cart hit the wall and he was flung out, became air born, then landed, rolled and finally slid at speed down the track. It was right on the finish line, Grant was right there and jumped the barrier, I was way across the other side of the track and came running back with the worst thoughts running through my head.
The medics were on the scene in seconds and Scott was well taken care of. He was very, very fortunate to have good quality safety gear on. His helmet lost a few layers of its surface, his neck brace saved a serious neck injury, his rib protector saved that area and his race suit is looking much the worse from sliding down the track. He has nasty bruising around his shoulder blade area on one side, lots of bruises on his arms and a twisted ankle that is in a short term plaster. Xrays were fine, nothing broken...just a bit of pride and one kart!
I was getting some photos and had my eye on Scott, next thing I see this blue suit and white helmet face down flying across the finish! Jake and I ran back, Jake took the camera from me and took a couple of shots, It was all very confusing because I no sooner got to Scott after running 1/2 a mile that they told me to get off the track, I never want this to happen again! Grant thought that it was his young body that helped him, and if he had been racing he would have broken every bone in his body.
OK here are some photos - just remember Scott really is alright now.
