Barry, I would completely and totally NOT fix that dent. The car is a LeMons car now. That's it's lot in life. Accept that you'll never put the passenger seat back in the car. If the door won't open, crawl in the other side with your grinder and cut out as much structure as you can. Then weld the damn thing up from the outside!
You'll be left with a welded passenger door (who cares?), 30-40 pounds less weight, and a fantastic "character" dent.
Another perspective on your "hit and run", Barry. The course workers can't see everything. (often that works to your advantage, you get a little dent or scrape and no penalty!) Sometimes they catch a car spinning off in the corner of their eye, but don't catch what CAUSED it. What can they do? They've got to flag the car for going 4-wheels off. That's their job. It's all part of the game. Gotta take the bad with the good.
On another note:
ANYBODY DOING NELSON LEDGES BESIDES US?
(I think we're going to need some crew. If anyone's interested, contact Philippe.)
