Hot Rods Willy Mammoth Willys Crash

I just seen these pictures of the Willy Mammoth Willys that crashed yesterday at Millan Dragstrip. The driver was hurting but okay.

 

Glad the driver was OK. That won't buff out....

 

What caused it?

 

I can’t tell if that car is metal with gl*** fenders or the whole thing is gl***...

 

Looks like it rolled--driver is very fortunate.

 

Not sure that a fibregl*** body would dent...they usually shatter.

 

Looks like the cage did its job.

 

Good deal if the driver is Okay

Nothing like having the tires on top, then walking ( Running actually- fear of fire ) away.
No not a sanctioned race. Hurrying to the weekend .

 

I’ve spent over a month doing a complete cage byNHRA/IHRA spec/SFI spec. I’ve never been sorry about spending the extra time.
Don’t know who put the cage in but here is one inevitable fact. Better to have and not need than need and not have. I spent a full month putting mine in my Willy’s and I won’t discuss how long to do the Kadet /and the Prefect.
When it comes to our hobby it’s not if it’s When We always think it won’t but the fact that he walked away is proof enough that it was worth what ever he spent. And it’s the nature of g***ers/altereds/and feds.
God is good. And yes I would fix that in a heart beat. Glad you are safe most of all.

 

Sorry to hear this. Always enjoyed watching the Mammoth run at Byron. Hope it can be rebuilt to run again.
