Title: WPK brown Split-Window-Dragracecar should crashed this mornig at the Super VW Na Post by: Helge/DFL on May 27, 2006, 18:34:16 pm I get a call this morning at 11.15 that the brown WPK-split-window-beetle crashed. Nobody should be injured, but the car should get destroyed. Does anybody knows more about that?

It still was a split window beetle... I wish him to find the force to start again with a similar, fully detailed project!

Note two things:a) The car only had a rear roll-cage – see how far the front of the roof has been crushed? Racing = full roll-cage... b) The seat appears to have broken. Lightweight seats MUST have some means of support to the back of them to stop this happening in an accident. If the seat breaks, then the seat belts become loose... Combine a) and b) and you have the potential for a bad situation... Glad Rudy was OK. Looks like he was lucky.

All the best to the WPK guys.

All the best to the WPK guys. Couldn't agree more... the driver is the most important part... After checking this car out at Spa last year it is a shame it is wrecked :( , but thank God the driver was not hurt.
