Some rolling road pics from before just to cheer the thread up a bit, what a great day and a superb showing from the new engine.

Shame about the crash but as said the improtant thing is that no one got hurt. And that you're not utterly gutted and have high spirit to do some pulling and panel beating. It's all part of the game.

Gutted for you after all the effort you've put into the build but glad to hear you're still keen to get it straight again.

Its no consolation but the car looks great in the rolling road pics.

Was a sad sight for sure you also left the rear beam off the list of busted bits

True, hard to tell if the rear of the car is bad, front looks worse than it did at brands now its all stripped. At least I have a whole new rear end to use anyway

sorry to hear mate as long as your ok its part of racing, them strut braces don't do the chassis legs no good on impact but chin up it looks lovely in the pics like the air jack tanks lol

Strut brace did bend a bit but it was the rad crossmember that took the impact across to the n/s chassis rail. As you can see end of the o/s chassis rail was the point of impact and the whole lot got pushed over 2"+ bending the n/s wing badly that hadn't even touched anything!
Ah and I don't need airjacks, I've got Gary..

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

As Gary going to be helping out with the repairs does that mean a few upgrades at the same time or you limited to what your allowed due to the series you race in ?

Such a shame this happened, I see this prior, during and after to the crash on the day and it was stunning!

But onwards and upwards with it!
