Did anyone see the v8's today?

I was watching a bit of the v8's today around lunchtime and saw one of the Falcon's hit a drainage grating... The damage that grating caused was insane! It ripped the shit out of the floor and damaged the underside of the driver's seat. He's lucky to still have his nads judging by the damage. Apparently the grate also went straight through one of the roll cage tubes and damaged the diff housing. The gaping hole in the floor was like a meter long and 200mm wide in places.
I want to see pics... does anyone have a source for them? The v8 Supercar site is useless.
Normally I wouldn't care about the v8's but I do like seeing them get damaged. One of the Commodores got some awesome air when he hit a ditch in the gravel trap. That was cool too.

he can't get the car off the line, its been his week link for years. 20VBTSECA, yes he pushed ingall off, but you need to under stand the rules that the race officials rule by and you'll find it was a legitamate pass because he was more than 50% up the inside of the car.
And its not like russell hasn't gotten off for multiple events in the past so i say he deserves some back. Him wonder where the nick name 'enforcer' came from.
Anyone see the racing between richards and skaife that was interesting sitting side by side thru a number of corners, with a couple scrubs and thats it.
The drainage system was nuts, so many cars came a croper with radiator failures after clipping shit on the track.

So no-one's got pics or a vid link to the damage the drain grate caused? I wanted to show my Dad because he missed it and Sports Tonight didn't show it.

Talking about the one in race 3?
As far as I could tell, they were coming to the corner leading into pit straight, Russell was in front and hit the brakes to take the corner. Skaife just kept going full throttle into the back of Ingall because he was wanting to go straight ahead into the pits instead of turn. He wasn't up the inside at all.
Granted it is a bad place to have a pit entry, but damn you be ready to hit the brakes when you don't know if the car in front is going to brake for the corner or continue for the pits.
But hey, its racing and you win some you lose some. All drivers have gotten away with stuff in the past.
That grating was insane, imagine what would happen if it had been an F1 that hit it!
