bob, we’ve had our quarrels in the past. but i can put all that behind me and say that i hate to see this happen to someone as determined as you. unfortunatley, thus is the risk of our sport of choice. keep your chin up and here’s hoping you find something new soon. ---

Bob I still can’t get the picture of you hitting the wall out of my end. Main thing is you are ok and there are plenty of parts on that car to be used on the next one. Begin the search for another chassis, something will pop up for sure. With luck you might even be up and running later in summer. Andrew. ---

Let it burn a nice hole… people need to understand the risks are involved and how real they are… Plenty of parts can be used… and to be perfectly honest the new chassis is even better then my old one… Late summer? Probably not… this is a ground up build… Think WELD style, except with a JGTC equivelant motor… with more power… ---

The important thing is you are okay and you walked away without injury. Sorry I can’t say the same thing about your car but if your can get your hands on a front clip and a few more other parts your back on your way. Good luck bro. ---

sucks but after you do this new chassis are you gona be scared to drive it after the crash? chances are high of another crash, all the work and money you put in can go so fast unless you have a sponsor. always good to see people come out of crashes ok. ---

What would be the point of building it if I dont drift it… parts can always be salvaged, and new and different chassis can be found… The risk of crashes are always high, for any motorsport… This wouldn’t have nescessarily happened if we weren’t drifting an oval with concrete walls right there… You know that I won’t be scared… I’ve hit far to much, and broken far to much, and I still go out and do it… This is no different… ---
