do you need to have a bumper on the track to pass a safety inspection? a bumper support or a bash bar would be understandable but what is a fiberglass bumper going to protect?

yes, a stock production vehicle must have all body panels correctly installed. they made an exception after the chief instructor looked at the car after I removed the bumper and gave me the "ok" to finish out the day.

the problem with panels held together by zip ties is that they create a hazard for other drivers.

ask people that build and manage race tracks. bumpers hide and protect wiring, bulbs, radiators, coolant bottles, oil coolers...

Won't save shit, if your going fast enough shits going to break. regardless with your answer it's all about cosmetic to you, just like how you bitched about your bumper, it's simple you could of said no. You agreed to have your instructor drive your car you assume that he won't fuck up.

Just to let you know bumpers main job isn't to hide coolant bottle and the other shit you list, it's main job is for aerodynamics get you shit straight.

The fuck, I'll keep this shit alive just bc you keep responding back. Take what's coming to you, first of all you come in here asking for other peoples opinion on what you should do (you got a brain fucking use it), then you come in and give us some knowledge about fiberglass, front bumper protection and all this bullshit and information that many of us already know (nothing in this fucking thread is useful and has nothing to do with motorsports and skilled driving )fucking post in the right section for example bc you cant read and follow simple rules. You should of posted in chat. This thread fucking died as soon as you hit new thread.

And yet your lame ass is still replying..just shut the fuck up already..get your new bumper let someone else drive it, then report back here when something else happens to your trophy car, so I can come back here to fuck shit up again.

Unfortunately since this happend at a track usually when you sign your name on that paper they hand you.. they and their employees arent held accountable for what happens to your car.. How ever i would try to atleast tell him how much i would help if he could just maybe help you pay for it.. But if he doesnt want to .. theres nothing you can do really..

Also..that car is really nice.. i would consider getting the front bumper fixed how ever you can.. and then just keeping it a nice car.. ill gurantee you that car at a track drifting... WILL trash your car and it will just end up being a piece of shit...

Save up for a car that you know you dont care if your rear bumper or front bumper slams into a barrier.

As an instructor, I wouldn't drive your car if you ask me to pay for it. If I had to instruct you and pay for any damages then i'll just drive really slow.


At the track accidents happen, if you spun and someone hit you are you going to pay for their damage?

This is the bottom line. YOU chose to attend the trackday. YOU chose to ask for instruction. YOU chose to let the instructor drive the car. This is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, NOT the instructor's. Un-expected things happen on-track and it's in bad taste to ask others to pay for it. Now, I have experienced circumstances in which I thought that someone else should have paid for the damages to our Formula Atlantic car. BUT, yours is not one of them. The event organizers have already been more than fair with the two free trackdays, to ask for any more is just not right. Now, I'm not saying that the instructor isn't likely a dumbass. Really he should have been concentrating on showing you the line, rather than pushing the car. But it is all YOUR decisions that put you and him in that position.

Hell, I would let an instructor smash up my bumper for two free trackdays anytime.
