Both Money, who desperately attempted to press his physique as he slid uncontrollably down the track, and motorist John Jackson were OK, but the pile-up meant they were accomplished from the competition. Money pronounced he was not disturbed by the fraudulent pattern of the track: "Its bobsleigh, not ballet dancing."
