Lee - driving a Rover 216 Sprint covered
in CRY logos - leapt over 9 other cars in front of a large and
enthusiastic crowd. The CRY car survived the jump intact,
although the heavy landing did leave Lee without any brakes!
Fortunately he did manage to bring the car to a stop using the
handbrake and a boggy patch of the landing area!
His fantastic feat was captured in the
brilliant photos below, and also on video
(click to play).
Afterwards, Lee said: "I
would like to thank everyone involved especially Jim for allowing me
to go ahead with the jump. It was a fantastic experience and if Jim
will allow it I want to try 12 next year once my neck has fully
healed."
Later on in the day, there was a raffle at
the Windmill
pub in Rustington, with a prize of a meal for four, with wine, at the pub.
The winning ticket was drawn by Lee.
Many thanks to all at The Oval Race Club (www.ovalraceclub.co.uk)
for helping to stage the Car Jump.
