A very sad event, my thoughts also go out to his family.
And only yesterday while at the SLROC TYRO event I was thinking 'this is a very slow, safe form of motor sport' how wrong was I?

Just seen the updated page.It was Andrew Guinan or "muddy porcupine" as he was known on the forums. Can't believe it, he was a good mate mine.

Very very sad to hear about it. It's awful when you know the family a little and knowing what a great laugh Andy was its just such a waste of a good life. Lost 2 Landy mates in the last 6 months now.

I had a family member at the event itself. He was a great guy and will be missed.

Was he in the trayback he built? Never got to see it finished in the end but it sounded like an awesome truck. Think there is a statement to come from the club but something must have gone wrong.

I think it was mate. I have more details but can't put them on a public forum. I'll give you a call tomorrow.
