Greenhouse big crash at Pacific Forest Rally
Greenhouse big crash at Pacific Forest Rally
Pacific Forest Rally in Merritt, BC, Canada didn't go too well for us, as we suffered a pretty serious crash on the first stage

We still finished the stage, and the next stage too, until we got back to service and were unable to continue

Ouch.
I am glad to hear that you are O.K., Chris.
As Bill said..... The 'safety equipment' (i.e., the car itself) did it's job - And that is something to be thankful for.

Man, something about watching the car at the end of that video come tearing around a corner with the back smashed like that just looked so wrong and bad-ass at the same time. I'm glad that you guys are ok! Hopefully you can get that rear clip on there in good time.

As much as I winced at seeing the damage in the video, it just goes to show how tough our cars really are. Eager to see the donor clip installed and the car racing again!
EDITED to correct grammar error.

Theres just something amazing about making a horse costume. Cutting off the back legs to sew onto a different front set.

My best guess is it looks like the trunk floor, fire extinguisher mount. Right below the strut tower. Probably don't see it in the 1st pic due to the angle.
