The advantage of cheap race cars...
...is that you don't really give a rat's *** when they get wadded up. Wanna race a Porsche ? Wanna race a Viper ? Wanna race a Corvette ? You're just upping the ante for the inevitable big "thump".
Please consider this instructive and not a criticism. I don't mean to discourage anyone who might want to race a car of some value, but....are you out of your freakin mind ?
Race cars are disposable. Race something cheap.<ul><li><a href="http://www.metricchemical.com/crash.asf">A somewhat expensive day at the races...good thing that there is beer in Wisconsin.</a></li></ul>

Pulled it off
the tree, hooked the back to one tree, the front to another and stretched it out a bit, then drove it home.
Just before the event the radiator developed a leak, so the radiator was only about a week old. It was wrapped around the fan blades, but never leaked.
Once home I hooked up a chain to the front and a telephone pole, and threw it reverse a few times to make some chassis "adjustments".
I drove it for a month or two, then sold it to a young kid who thought it was "cool" to have a rally car.
