Stone-kicker should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Back in the old days of sand traps at Donington Park, the water used to collect in the sand on the exit on Mcleans.
This required the wearing of wellies instead of walking boots.
In came a sports 2000 (which always had flat bottoms) and the driver abandoms ship. At the end of the seesion we all make our way down to the car which has now settled quite securely on its floor pan.
Much pushing, pulling and lifting later, the car begins to move. So do I, backwards, and I'm almost full welly depth in the liquified sand - feet won't come out of the wellies - gravity takes over and I take the place of the Sports 2000 stuck in the sand trap, on my back with my lower legs at 90 deg. to my body still stuck in the sand.

Snatch tractor anyone?
