You’re prepared for the track, but are you prepared for when things go south?

If you're not prepared for things to go south, you're not prepared for the track. /thread.

My first wreck...I rented a U-Haul truck (Saturday late afternoon at Lime Rock) and 10 guys lifted the car into the truck.

One of the pleasures of Chumpcar (or any crapcan endurance racing) is seeing the immense talent for problem solving/mechanical talent. Seeing a frame/body pulled with a pickup in the paddock area and back out they go. If you have ever seen the JB Bug team they swap the motor in 20 minutes.
