Carnage pics

[DieselSJ]

OK, first round of pics of the damage to our old car. Sorry, the lighting sucked, but this is what they sent. I'll be out there over the weekend and will get some better shots.

Ouch. did they snap it in half?

What caused the damage? Did you guys crash?

 

[Justpunchit]

Was there a fire too? (bad pics sorry if I'm wrong) I hope everyone was ok

Just the stresses from racing accumulated over the years.

Our beloved station wagons were never meant to haul that type of groceries, haha.

How long had that car been racing?

 

[DieselSJ]

It was actually one of the first Jeepspeed cars ever built. It won the first JS race. Rubicon Express raced it for a season, then it sat. We picked it up and raced it for 4 seasons. The car had been rolled once (we tangled with a Trophy Truck) at the end of the first season and that is when we started chasing the cracks on the firewall. Nope, no fire. The cracks really started coming during the 3rd season. I'll get some of the fenderwell and spring bucket and shock mount too.

It all depends on the perspective of the person telling the story. But it is just one of the dangers of racing. Wasn't at Primm though.

gotta love the unibody honestly I am surprised it held up so well, with such a long racing history. Kudos to the builders, she had a great run!
