ok, away from the more serious crashes for the moment...
heres one to make u both laugh and cry at the same time
We had a motorkana with out club over here at an old air force base and a beautiful p type ma61 showed up and raced... went all day without any mishaps except the odd 180/360 and then on his last run, proceeded to find the power pole that none of us even knew was there...
he went down the strait into the sweeper a little too fast and she crabbed out, he saw the power pole a tad too late...
inspecting the damage afterwards, the dent goes in that far tht it literally exploded the tailgate window and pieces of the glass were found in the engine bay (he was running no bonnet)
on further inspection after he got it home, the dent stopped less than an inch off that huge chassis rail style thing that the mk2's have got.
but, some good news and the reason we all look back and laugh, the car is fixed and you cant even tell that its happened 
at least he did this at a controlled event, not out on the streets
i wont post the pics in here as they are quite big pics, but heres the links to them

as a further little laugh, this is the same motorkana i came inches away from writing off the nose of my celica... i'd been using the handbrake to get round the tight corners and it had been holding all day and then suddenly the rear wheels just let go and i ended up doing a dance around a different powerpole, rear wheel marks were a perfect circle around the pole and the nose would have been about and inch or 2 away from it....
also same day, an turbo sw20 almost wrote himself off as well, got carried away, spun off the track and stopped a matter of inches before a tree slammed the passengers door...
suffice to say, we never having a motorkana there again...
