Hot hands for Hotshots’ Moresby

Ryan Moresby said his hands are healing well following a nasty fire in his Hotshot Racing Holden Statesman on October 31 at Perth Motorplex.

Moresby was pedalling his way through a wild pass when a blocked fuel nozzle set in place a wild chain of events.

“The car was a bit of a handful off the start line, I pedalled and grabbed second gear and then one of the nozzles blocked to cylinder eight and torched the head gasket then torched into the car,” he said.

“All I saw was orange I couldn’t see anything, then hit the fire extinguisher and was getting hot so just had to pull the car up and get out.”

The car came into light contact with the braking area walls and Moresby was able to get out with just some burns to his hands.

“The burns are going well, I had a small skin graft but the safety gear worked a treat,” he said.
