At least you finished the school. Now you have time to get your car all straightened out before your Novice Permit expires (a whole two years) You'll get it back out there in no time. I saw a VW T-Bone a CRX at
100+mph. It moved the CRX's roll cage back about an inch!! I think he just replaced the subframe and was good to go, so you'll have no probem with this.
Good Luck and have fun!

A good frame man, cash money and some beer will get a lot of that pillar area back in shape.
Dave...
First - sorry to see that, especially during your first event.
Second - that can be fixed! A good body shop can pull that out and get the door to shut. Trust me... I know. DOH!
The CRX is a tough car and as long as the four corners are straight and true, you will still be able to run well.
That split between the rear wheels is what someone mentioned in an earlier post... it is a weak spot on the car. You can have it welded up and then add a bar across the rear suspension points (you can find them online). But remember, you can't use a sta-bar in the rear and front... only one or the other.
Don't let the wreck discourage you. Unfortunately, it is part of the sport. You just got it done earlier than you would have hoped to.

Ask around where a racecar friendly shop is. Cash, and be specific that you want it functioning properly but are not as concerned about cosmetics.
Too bad about this happening, but don't give up and before you know it, you'll be out there again.

Thanks everyone
the place I took it to was a guy that does alot of race car repairs and he did not even want to touch it
one option is to take it over to the local Junior collage, they have a frame machine
this is one bad a** car
