No parts are being parted out. Minus the body ... the car is actually not in too bad of condition. Motor still runs fine. At this moment we have a few different options in front of us.

A) Get a full front clip and just swap it over and re-straighten the rear.
B) Cut off front end and cut off rear end .... and TUBE CHASSIS!! (my personal favorite since we needed to cut weight anyway)
C) Shell is just totaled and we need to find a whole new shell.

Luckily Kevin is in NASCAR country so its full of people who know how to bounce back from accidents like this.

not to run my mouth but hitting a wall sideways really doesnt show the strangth of a wheel ..... drop it from 10 feet off the ground and see what happenes..... glad everyone is ok, cant wait to see you guys back on the track asap.

I'm not a physicist but I have a feeling going into a wall at 100mph is a greater test of strength than dropping 10 ft.


I'd love to trade my sf-winnings for some te37-sl.. some day.

Definitely glad Kevin is OK, and bummer about the car.

When you guys figure out what your next step is it'd make a pretty epic rebuild thread
