    Chris Greenhouse big crash at Pacific Forest Rally

    Chris Greenhouse big crash at Pacific Forest Rally

    Pacific Forest Rally in Merritt, BC, Canada didn't go too well for us, as we suffered a pretty serious crash on the first stage



    We still finished the stage, and the next stage too, until we got back to service and were unable to continue

    Yeah, ouch! Hope you guys were ok afterwards. Keep the videos coming, you're my best source for rally videos, other than the WRC app.

    Care! Deceptive!

    Hah, sorry, glad you're okay. Yah I did that in snow once in a relly's Neon, got away with it better though. Figured my mistake was letting off the gas too sharp when I realised the arse was loose, brung it all the way then.

    What is the advantage of doing a full clip vs. a whole new car? Just curious as it's kind of an intriguing look at what race cars and teams go through.

    I would think it's because if you started with a new car you would have to start over with race prepping the car. Stuff like stripping all the seam sealer and ect. off so that you can weld up all the seams in the body would all need to be re-done. Any custom work to motor and drivetrain mounts would need re done, also the cage and any other associated race prep stuff.

    I suspect you'd also have to get it recertified/inspected, which means all the little tricks could be seen. (I kid, I kid...)

    at long last I have some pics for the neon faithful of both our destruction and our resurrection!

    all we need now is alignment, exhaust system, and redo the digicamo wrap in the rear

    What I don't understand, is the golden opportunity to make a Neon wagon, wasted

    Oh right, homologation...

    Though, in GT and sportscar racing there were those "breadvan" specials....

    I cannot take credit for the body work. Juergen Baumann of Plain City OH was responsible for the clip, and my crew chief Gary Cupp did most of the rest of it.

    Jon, I have a friend in the UP of Michigan by the same name who is a big-time rally supporter and volunteer of the Lake Superior Perf. Rally

    If you had a Neon wagon, would you call it a "Naggin'?"

    Wow, I don't know how I missed this. Glad you guys are OK, and I'm also glad that you'll have the car back in prime shape soon. It's amazing what you were able to do with it.
