My driver from last year's Ohio Rally finally tore down the wreck

That’s not gonna buff out.

For those who missed it last year, a misheard pace note sent us off the road and into a very large tree. The crash totaled the car, but shockingly the motor is in good shape, with the only damage being a cracked motor mount. The driver is currently working on putting it in a new shell.

I’d say that’s what is scientifically classified as: “Well and Truly Fucked.”

“misheard pace note...” I’d like to hear what the co-driver said after that. After the “Oof...”

That’s some nice looking scrap metal you got there

interesting - didn’t know that middle tunnel area was a “crumple zone”

I probably said this this first time you posted photos but that is impressively bent. I don’t think I have seen a wreck where the trans tunnel has deformed like that.

Anything is a crumple zone if you hit a tree hard enough.

Nice. What pace note had you delivered and what did he hear?

How hard do you have to crash the car to deform the trans tunnel? I’m guessing the tree hit the bottom of the car a little more than the rest.

He thought it was a Right 5
