"Micey" Manning was the man of the day at the popular Caymanas
Jump. He hit the jump flat out on the gas. We watched in amazement
as the Evo 5 defied gravity until we realised it was necessary
to engage running mode. Everyone started to dash for cover in
the cane ground as Micey approached for landing. Parts started
to fly as his car returned to earth. I watched in disbelief
as the car bounced from left to right as he tried to correct
the car. I thought this was the first time I was going to see
Micey crash, but my fears were laid to rest as he skilfully
regained control. It wasn't the same Evo though,  as
it sputtered and limped away. It was shortly out of the rally
with damaged suspension. Micey was totally winded from his jump.
He hurt his back and was unable to breath for a few meters when
the car landed. However, he had already made a great impression
on the Jamaicans. Everywhere you went they were talking about
him and wished he were still in the rally. |

| The things I heard fans saying about Micey were
quite funning, especially in a Jamaican accent. One of the spectators
said "When we first see Micey, we see this man walk to the car
like so," and he began to demonstrate in a "squeeze up" nerd
walk (Micey is kinda slim). "We say, im nah go win nuh-un. But
when de man come through de 90, nuhbody nah see im! De man ah
come through dey faster than anybody else. De man a lunatic!"

Wilbert Hinds suffered a painful pinched nerve after hitting
his head when the car landed from one of the jumps. He was taken
good care of at the hospital and we saw him later that evening
having fun at the prize giving ceremony… with a noticeable stiff
neck.
