Default How this for engine damage!!!

No its not a new two piece crankhousing;
This once was a KHM tuned NovaMega .21 engine (cost; a whopping 700 euros)
In the a-mains this guy flipped his car on the straight and another car hit him at full speed.
Looking at his car after the race, he said; *the pain is too much*
One can imagine it was
Only leaves you to imagine what the rest of the car looked like...

I KNOW!!! Sick aint it?! I race 1/8th on road gas, as well but I wish it wasnt the most radicle class around, cause engine prices have gone way way WAY out of hand! I cant bust a grape in a fruit fight with my engine against top guys, because my engine is *just* (how cynical) a 450euro NovaMega evo2... s h i t e

(Serpent and Picco are currently planning to break the habbit, and promised to produce economical fast engines. Lets hope they can make it happen and save 1/8th on road)

Open the wallet for a new case, etc. etc.

What the point of building world champion engines if the aren't affordable to the common man??
