cbb and the twins were injured at wsid tonight. The car hit the wall with force and spun.

Hope all is well, fanastic car boys, good luck with re-build, it will be better than ever.

Mountains out of mole hills.....Not much damage at all only abit of fiber glass and paint....

Glad its not too serious - most importantly Mike is okay. I guess that is the only downside of such a fantastic graphic'ed paint job - repairs are always time consuming! Best of luck getting it back on the track to the CBB crew.

Oh crap.
Not a good story to wake up to.

Big Bummer.

I know these guy's will get her back together, but less testing time for Portland. :td::td:

Good luck with the repairs.

Damm not good Robin Hood. Hope damage is superficial and all is ok.

Yep , thats a little more then mole hill !! Tracks are real slick out there along edges at anytime . Motor sounds real mad (sweat) pulls those wheels easy .
Thanks for posting up video bug racer and you said drag racind was easy !

Crap crap crap :td:

Sorry to see such a beautiful car get damaged so early into setting it up.
The motor does sound absolutely awesome.
Best of luck with the repairs. Hoping for superficial damage only (nothing bent).
I am looking forward to seeing it run in the flesh!!

shame, but it didn't look like too big a hit thankfully. hopefully it's just panel damage.


dangerous - December 21st, 2008 at 08:43 AM

I spoke with mike and the car damage is very minor.
the wheely bars seem to have protected the whole rear of the car from ANY damage,
and only the nose will need to be repaired (quite easily) early next week.
The only other minor damage is one front wheel has a bit of damage that will easily be roll-repaired.

It seems that the track condition was just a little less than needed for this car, and the other three that crashed that night.
Once it was out of the groove he was along for the ride, even with total opposite lock.

Mike WILL be at portland,
and the biggest annoyance is the slight glitch in his development shedule before then.

Looking forward to Portland!!

Thanks again Dave for the update.

So wheelie bars are not just for controling wheelstands!


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - December 21st, 2008 at 01:49 PM

protection from wheel slides too!!


vassy66T1 - December 21st, 2008 at 06:48 PM

Good news!!
Anyone need a passenger for Portland? :dork:


pete wood - December 22nd, 2008 at 08:43 AM

slight glitch in development? i'd say this sort of thing is all part of the development. whether they like it or not eh? :fakesniff:

Hi

That's a real shame, as long the driver and everyone else is OK, cars can be fixed so no real harm done.

The car seemed to be running fine, any ideas what made it get out of shape?

Steve


vwkg - December 22nd, 2008 at 10:21 AM

Definitely a real shame. Glad to hear it's nothing overly serious though.
The car did sound insanely cool though:yes:


vwsteve - December 22nd, 2008 at 10:29 AM

13BVW - December 22nd, 2008 at 09:59 PM

wow dam shame, saw it at warwick, real shiny.
on the upside, it could have been worse, i doubt it was going too slow when things got out of hand. glad to hear all is well and fixable.

have we got any times for it at all 1/4mile that is? it sounds mad


twoguns - January 12th, 2009 at 05:25 PM

VWFREAK - January 12th, 2009 at 06:02 PM

Boostn - January 12th, 2009 at 08:00 PM
