Kelly Linigen's sprintcar roll at Parramatta

I managed to catch this so thought I would share it with everyone. It is a news snippet showing Kelly Linigen's roll at Parramatta speedway last Saturday night, where she flipped her sprintcar right over the catch fence. Luckily no-one was hurt.

30th March 2008 - This looks like the end

Well last night I ran 2 heats (lead popped off the coil in one and finished 3rd in the other), but my back started hurting so I decided not to risk damaging it any further and parked the car up for the night.

I’ve been thinking long and hard about my racing lately and I think it’s time for me to quit while I’m ahead (sort of). I just keep getting injured which tells me it’s not meant to be. After 18 months of working hard to get my neck healed enough to race, now my back is playing up and I can’t go through the disappointment and frustration of being injured again.

So I have decided to retire from racing. I’m in my 40’s so it’s probably about time I started acting my age. Maybe I’ll take up knitting! ;-p

Anyway, I’d like to thank everyone who’s helped and supported me over the years. It’s been fun (mostly) and I’ve made lots of friends. I hope my friendships can continue from the sidelines - I’ll be the one cheering the loudest!

See you at the track. :-)
