Good point !! To some car folks, there is a fine line between being 'constructively critical' (for safeties sake) and 'harshly critiquing' their rides. Not sounding like a know it all but easing into giving sound advise is the trick if you really want to help the guy/gal build a SAFE car.
Re this car in question, one could buy it for a decent price and rebuild it SAFER than it is now. Make absolutely SURE that it is COMPLETELY out of the legalities of this event though. It'd be a total SHAME to have it taken from you after dumping time and money in it.
IMHO, I'd 'recycle' a dead racers car as I'd want someone to recycle mine if it was not totally totaled.
