He was in the winner's circle for winning Heavy Custom last year. Ouch! The "dragon car" wasn't a fan favorite from what I heard this year, but I still don't like seeing someone's car getting munched.

That's without a doubt a complete loss.

That is a real shame--I'm glad he is OK.

I'm guessing it was just some common people-mover......therefore, who cares what happened to it!

It looks like he was rear-ended.
I've seen it happen before - lots of nice show cars coming from or going to a show, and someone driving down the road is looking at the cars and drives right into the car in front of them. It happened on Power Tour a few years ago.

It's a damn shame.

The plastic door skin is adhered to the plastic door casing. The impact just broke the adhesive/glue.

I've seen that car at the local cruise-in, not a fan of it, but still hate to see that happen. Can't imagine how bad that would feel.

Glad they escaped unscathed.

Sucks for them, but unless the engine was heavily modded (other than a lid and red loom), then I don't really see much of a loss, just another wrecked T/A

Fan of car or not.....someone MUST suffer for this! Bad enough that there are no more new birds out there, but now people are out there smashing in to them.
