RX8 kart gets crashed a little bit

I though teaching her her how to drive a difficult car on track would be a good idea. Now we have to make the car better. This is just a good excuse to build a bash bar up front.

The bash bar will look something like this

Crash evidence and the culprit

Any crash you can walk away from with a smile is a good crash.

Much better than my friend’s crash on track...

No, it was a 2004. He lost control, went lawn mowing backwards, hit the tire wall at an oblique angle and it flipped him twice.

Looks like it held up well given all it went through. How did he fare? Back on the horse with another car?

Yah, he walked away. Full welded cage and 6-point harness. He picked up another race-prepped '8 with a blown motor and just got his first win it last weekend.
