After a very long time Trent is back rebuilding his car after rolling it at a private test and tune.
The car is back with City Performance . The car was totally stripped checked and new body has been mounted. still along way to go

good to hear that the beetle is being rebuilt ... any pics of the rebuild .

a few photos of car after accident

Thanks for shareing.
It is sad to see this,
but is there anything you can share as a cause
that may help keep other racers safe?

i would say ladder bar.but it's just a guess.
the poor thing looks pretty banged up.can't wait to see what bucket loads of cash can do.they always come back badder ,bigger and faster,good luck.
city perfomances moto is if you have to ask how much you can't afford it and you are in the wrong shop.

That sounds like any drag car really.
The parts are killer, but the labour bill will test anyone's finances.
That is probably why it has taken two years to get the ball rolling again.

Looking forward to see Trent "sneak up on it" this time.

After looking at all the video footage , the problem does appear to be the ladder bars. They were purchased when the car was in early build stages. As turbos got bigger and power increased , no one thought about strength of ladder bars and set up. Costly mistake, but its all learning.
The car will have several changes when complete. An early model body used, original dash will remain, fiberglass doors , turbo re located , new rear wing design and increase in compression .

shit! not good...ive like this car, stay positive boys good luck.JVL
