Mangled cars

[Craig 201 MPH]

To anybody who races:

I watched the end of that speedvision race (gt) yesterday. Bobby's crash sure looked painfull, to both the team and car. Now I know that an emphasis is put on a perfect condition frame for drivability reasons when buying a used Viper so what do you guys do when a Viper gets smacked hard enough to bend the frame? Do guys replace or repair?

Thanks

Craig

Well alot depends on how bad the frame is balled up. There have been many Vipers wrecked at the Viper Days events and I believe many have had the frames sectioned. That means that either the damaged corner or front/rear clips are replaced. If you can salvage the frame without transfering everything over to a new frame it is the cheapest way to go. Most racecars have cages which keeps much of the damage centralized to the whacked area.
