we brought 50lbs of tritip...

in 2007 we were in an accident really early on, and had to pull the frame rails straight with two pickups, and tie straps, so the pics are the before and after. the hole in the windshield is where some piece of steel bounced up and went through. if it wasn't for the 90 minutes it took to pull the frame straight, we would have been on the podium, i think. such is the 25

duct tape and cardboard are structural
