First hit in the front would take out the radiators, the rear might fare better depending how long it takes to damage the end of the tranny.

We're going to build one for a local "corn field derby" which is basically a dirt circle track in the middle of a huge field. I'll make sure to share some pics. Really going to do it to prove that the IMS Solution isn't harmed by off road experiences and a harsh environment, as some competitors claim the oil feed line is vulnerable to "road hazards" which is simply not true.
Yes, the car thats being used is in fairly good condition, at least it is for now. I don't expect much to be left of it when its all said and done. Here's a shot from last year.
