Yikes! This thread turned on me real quick!!
There is certainly something to be said for that... during this build I have certainly figured out why these cars are half the price of a german car... you need to be careful what you lean on for sure!And Porsche steel is good strong German steel.

Geze guys. Lets do this right. Denting it out on the track would be a little bit of fun, but wouldn't it be more if a tow vehicle accidently backed up into it? Or maybe some kids bike? Worst case I know a guy at LRP who could help and is experienced with a tow truck.

I have a great video of those LRP tow truck drivers! I was asked by LRP to keep it to myself... they really are wrecker drivers!

Only goofing on ya bud - no plans of becoming Banzai Ben of New Hampshire again :-) We got those bimmers to worry about. You, me and Steve got to work out a plan...
Maybe we start by pitting the Jim Locke Motorsports guys against the Autotechnic guys by using fake FaceBook posts about their...orientations - then when they wreckout behind us we race each other!

Figured I would post up here rather than making a new thread... The RX8 ITR car is almost done again!!!
After this accident I was a bit worried at how long it would be before I got it back on track!

It's finally showing some progress and coming along nicely. Mike Lavigne at Auto Re-Nu-It in Manchester NH did an amazing job fixing it. This week we just finished re-painting the entire front of the car (Shell) so now we will start putting everything back together. I have purchased all the parts I think I need and now it's just a race against the clock to get it back together! I have a lot of work committments but I can say with almost certanty that I will be back out with it at LRP for The NARRC Runoffs! It took a little longer than planned because I did that WC race but I am very excited to get my own car back out on track
