OUCH!!! Although if I am seeing the pic correct the body looks okay. How did you manage to get 5 feet of air under it? :?

I think he was practising for the Little Monte track Randy!

Time to rethink the body mounts maybe?

yep, time to rethink body mounts. pins are maybe the the better solution.

randy, i was carrying back to the track after glueing back on one of the diffusers. i actually don't have a clue why it slipped my fingers. ..
