    Roadster wreck?

    Does anyone know about this wreck? Was it a Factory Five Roadster? The body is definately fiberglass, but so are most of these replica bodies. The trunk, however, might be metal. At about 0:59, you can see it bending a lot, and it looks more like metal than fiberglass to me. Factory five uses a fiberglass trunk, which I would think, would break and spliter before it bends this much.

    If this was a Factory Five, he probably should replace it with a Challenge car if he want to return to the track.

    This was a Backdraft, not an FFR. Note the absence of arm restraints!! And a low rollbar. Very lucky man.
