The Life of Opy: The Nissan Juke Multi-Purpose Racer Part 4 – To Laguna Seca and Beyond!

,

Opy wound up off course in a bad way.
And this is why you build a stout cage.
You can see the whole front of the cage took a solid impact and minimized the intrusion into the passenger compartment.
This is by the B-pillar of the cage on the driver’s side. The cage held solidly.
The GoPro case got destroyed, but the camera survived without a scratch.
Lars and navigator Adam were a little sore but Opy’s cage kept them well protected.

Opy, the most multi-talented Nissan Juke that ever existed proved out what the Multi-Purpose Racer could do even on a small budget. With a lot of hard work, creativity, and custom fabrication, Opy started off with a hill climb. After the first performance shakedown, Opy went wheel-to-wheel road racing with USTCC driving down the Corkscrew. After swapping out a few parts, Opy attacked the dirt at the Oregon Trail Rally. Then Opy changed disciplines again and participated in Global Time Attack. Opy’s final event was again visiting the Oregon Trail Rally. Opy definitely demonstrated the versatility of the Nissan Juke platform. So what’s in store next for Lars Wolfe Racing? There’s a Multi-Purpose Racer 2.0 in the works…
