Wow! The door is embedded in the wall and tore off like it was held on with velcro! Are there more details on the crash? How'd the driver fair? And who made that cage to look like nothing happened to the door X!

[smdubovsky]

The door on cup cars/etc are just a VERY light pc of carbon fiber. If you lean on them then will break off (seriously.) They provide zero crash protection so no big deal it came off. Just for aero & cosmetics.

That one was bad in the fact that the car flipped over the catch fence and continued on well past. Seem to remember that this one happened not too long after the Hamb launch and roll. MO in the news....

This one just makes you wonder how?

[Potomac-Greg]

This one just makes you wonder how?

If you look carefully, the rear suspension is inverted (struts/coils below). That doesn't explain much other than how the rear wheels are still lined up.

[smdubovsky]

VWs use a single trailing arm (often called a torsion beam axle.) Think of a big U w/ the wheels at the tips and attached to the body at the bottom. The shocks are the only things that limit the droop. Since those are obviously broken its hanging straight down.

x2. Doesn't explain much else:)

SCCA lets 16 year olds into their comp school with zero track days of experience. My girls started doing DEs at 15, but that was with an instructor in the car, not a time trial.

Slightly OT: At Road Atlanta they ran a PDX during the Sunday "quiet" period (10-12) and I was shocked to see that they ran without any corner workers. I suppose they had spotters around the track, but the flagger buckets were empty. This was on a damp track. On guy balled up his 370Z pretty badly. His repair bill will probably buy an SRF.

Electrical issues can cause all kinds of strange things on new cars.
Wet floor was probably due to the door electrics 'thinking' the door was being opened and lowering the windows 1/8" like they do these days.
I'm sure if the dealer replaced the harness and grounds from the get-go all would have been fixed.

BTW this is the reason I'd never buy an early version of a new car...I'd wait a year or two to get all the bugs worked out. Not that I can afford a new car these days anyway.

[Potomac-Greg]

If you're a Pirelli World Challenge fan, you might notice that there is a well funded team racing Kia Optimas (FWD, 4 door sedans) and they run stupid rear cambers like the Honda. If I had to guess, I'd say it was to keep most of the rear tire off the ground to allow better rotation in turns (it being front-heavy and FWD). It looks moronic. But maybe that's what the "stance" guys are emulating. (Not.)

[Lupin..the..3rd]

Yes, but when you needed the item on the 22nd, and you're now unlikely to get it before the 27th!!! Getting the few dollars back from the cheapest way "express" way to ship doesn't help.

[BlackTalon]

Uh, uhm, well, duh! Yeah, he's already fuched. And chances are he paid a premium for shipping and then got fuched. At least get the premium $ back and bitch to the vendor.

Fed-Ex and UPS also has fuch-ups like this. it is NOT limited to USPS.

Please do your research about this car if you don't know much about it. Its a fun car to drive I just don't have the time or money to keep up with the high maintenance. This is currently my daily driver. I drive it from waldorf to Andrews afb almost every day. I am looking to trade it for something more pratical. I'll entertain all trade offers. It must run and drive. I have done alot of work to the car just call, email or text and ill tell you everything about it.
The bad list --
--Power steering belt off due to the rack leaking the rebuild kit is $40 havent had the time.
-odometer is broken (common issue with this car stopped at 120k about 6k ago)
--Paint has some defects but not bad for age
-crack in lower left corner of windshield not visible from inside.
-one crack on driver seat leather. Is patched
THE GOOD!--
YOU WONT FIND RUST HERE--body is made of aluminum so you won't find any body rust probably ever
-Interior is in good shape has mostly been recovered. These cars are known for cracked leather and plastic at this age.
-The engine runs great, -has a very nice sounding full stainless exhaust (headers back welded not bolted)
-Power windows, driver seat, moon roof, mirrors and rear hatch lock all work great
-Rear tires like new
-clutch is fairly new and shifts great all gears
-No engine/warning lights
If you have any more questions please call, text, email- 240-595-818one any time

Greg, there's ample opportunity for many PCA-kart-enduro jokes to be inserted here. I've learned my lesson though, so I'll refrain from making any. See you this weekend at the races, I'll swing by and say hello. Which run group is SRF? I know Sunday's race order is reversed...

Another 356 at SVRA event in Indy.

Yenko attempts low % pass at 9:24 and meets Mr. 356.

Eventually lets go at 11:20.

SVRA Group 3 Indy Feature Race - Yenko Stinger YS037 - YouTube

[Dr K]

Similar to the Glen for me. The 356 by anybody's rules had the corner and the Yenko should have backed off, but there was no reason for the 356 to come in so tight to the corner if he knew the Yenko was around. Yenko was at fault. Either car could have avoided it.

We're Group 6 so I am anticipating a pre-lunch race on Sunday. I'll be there tomorrow knocking the rust off me and the car.
