Just saw a pic on mx5nutz. Looks like the ND has taken a fairly big shunt on track. Anyone got any more details?

Nutz is the place to get info but from the horses mouth on there.....

"Ok guys time to fill in the details.....
Yesterday one of the drivers (not me) had a coming together with one of the beetles fun cup cars...
We suffered a large amount of damage
Bumper, rad, suspension arms, wheel, steering rack, head light,engine cradle, both engine mounts, inlet manifold to name but a few.....
With the help of everyone here we got the car repaired and back out for the start of the race....

I was the first driver out and on lap 3ish I don't actually know... I lost control coming into the start line. This resulted in contact with the pit wall...it won!! So unfortunately we won't be racing tomorrow.
I'm not sure if we had unforeseen suspension issues as we do know we was running a sick car that had a wheelbase longer on one side than the other. End result isn't good though, but we did give it our all!!
Sorry for letting anyone down sponsors drivers supporters...
We will be back!!"

Cheers. I only saw a post on the nutz FB page which consisted of a picture of someone's tv on pause ha. Not ideal for getting good info.

Hi guys
I was the driver that hit the wall....and bloody hell was it painfull!!

On lap one the car was pulling left under braking and steering from the rear on power. Looking back maybe we shouldn't have run the car.....who knows but the racer in me wanted to race and finish.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. lol

The end result is the car is a total loss. But we will be back!!
New car orded today to re build.....

Oh fiddlesticks. I'm assuming these are similar words to the ones you used when you realised it was not going to come back from it.

Nothing ventured nothing gained etc. smile
