Sorry to hear about your incident buddy... is it bad?
Also your bumper and splitter are bowing at high speed... maybe look at reinforcing it.. well unless that is out of the equation with the oops.
I hope you get it back together the car looks real good!

thanks! its not BAD, in a sense that everything that was damaged can be unbolted and replaced... the rear quarter panel didnt get damaged, thankfully! the passenger rear door is mangled, both passenger side wheels are bent (luckily i was using my rotas at the time and not my NTO3+Ms), bent a coilover, scracthed up my fender and sideskirt extension, and took a big chunk out of my side skirt... hurts, but could have been much worse with how hard i hit!

and the bumper is another story..lol... if you look at the first 2 pics, youll see it has the splitter/undertray, and theres no flexing/bowing (was doing about 130mph in those pics)... at the end of the first session, i hit some grass and ripped off the undertray... so the bumper was very flimsy after that.. but still held together suprisingly! its 100% fixable as well

Nice looking action shots!

Sorry to hear about the off-track adventure

Were you there with a guy named Zhong in a GG IX?

Gotcha... I figured as there was a missing canard that there was something prior.
What suspension are you running? You bent the coilover as well?
I hope you get it back together man soon!

Jesse. No doubt you drive hard. Ran Fontana back in Feb & was not on a transponder but we estimated my lap time around 2:02 or so.

1:57 is really moving & as you know the track is super fast. Hit 5th 3 different times on track (Although 1 of the 5th's I could have done in 4th)

The track is unforgiving in some spots due to the K-rails. Glad youre Ok but the Viper needs some work

Not sure if you bumped into another EVO driver (GG Evo9 probably blue taped up front. "Anthony")

Nice shots & even the one w/ your Lady.

Peace, Joe (Will run Fontana this Nov =)

The high speed shots look real cool...sorry about the crash, but good to hear no major damage.

BTW took the advice in your Blox motor mount review...mine just arrived today

Good luck with repairs...

yeah, the 1:57 was on my first session, on stock evo 10 tires.. then switched to my r-comps, and they were horrible, just couldnt get them to grip..which aided in my crash.. and yeah, its a VERY fast track lol... but fun!

im pretty sure i know who your talking about, does he have an apr wing on his car as well?
