Important thing is he was ok…but I dont a passanger would be. Hardest part was seeing the look on Berto’s face after it was all over. He lost something very important to him and it hurt me to see him like that. One thing that stood out about that incident was the amount of support he received from the drifting community and fans. People were running around the crowds collecting donations for berto, he cashed in pretty good, enough to pay some of the towing fees! Its great to be part of this community and I encourage all those interested to join. RIP #77…Berto, dont let this damper your spirits for drift and please let me know if I can do anything to help u get back into the sport. ---

I know I would be willing. Get berto to find another chassis and I’ll help swap over the parts. I got the hoist sitting at waynes and the rest is not all that hard. 2 weeks max. We get a few guys together and its an Easy job. He just won’t have a purdy body kit anymore. But function first. Andrew. ---

We can rebuild it. Find another chassis and tow it over. Give it a couple weeks, and you’ll be out there again. Bobo, if you need anything, let me know! None of us would be drifting if it wasn’t for you! ---

Wow, thats what my car looked like the night before DX1 when i slammed it into a curb, jumped the curb, took out a big fence, and went offroading. I broke my TC rod right in half, bent my suspension, couldnt steer the damn car. It wasn’t quite that bad, but it was pretty close. With a car like Alberto’s most of the parts can be swapped fairly easily. If you can find a new chassis, you can have everything back to normal within a couple weeks, and it won’t cost much more than buying a new chassis. Anyways it sucks to see people crash, I feel bad for Alberto cause he just put the aero on and got a nice nice paintjob. I’ve totalled 2 S13s, its a really crappy feeling. But its all part of drifting 😃 [/img] [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/driftmania-06-26-05/86761.md?page=2)
