Hmm. If I am going to remove all safety devices then I am going to wear a condom when driving. I will put some extra ones in the 1.8L Miata toilet.
Or have to put the pull cable in a place where my co-drivers in endurance racing won't hit it as they seem push/pull/hit/break all kinds of stuff when in there.

Seriously That is a good idea. Don't play with fire. We have witnessed two MAJOR fires at NHMS in the last year and I really don't want to see you get hurt. I can't imagine why ANYONE would ever leave a pin in unless on accident, leaving it in defeats the entire purpose of a fire system...
PLEASE TAKE THEM BOTH OUT!

PS: I didn't even get into how you should get new co-drivers if they trash your car getting in and out because this isn't really a joking matter.
I started doing it in the Saturn when I was having trouble heating up the rear tires on the pace lap. I drag my brakes almost the whole lap. Then i also found I could get a few hundred more RPMs when I'm on the brake and the gas waiting for the green flag. When grid starts to yo yo you don't have to keep coming off the gas to keep from hitting the guy in front of you. We've all gotten caught at that very moment you come off the gas and the green drops.

For me?? You mean instead of the person saying (in a whiny voice to Kathy) "I couldn't see. My car is too low. I'm too short. I don't have radios"
Suck it up. You fucked up. No excuses............ And I bet 90% of the field did not have radios.
Or, if you prefer, we can talk about how you hit three cars in two weekends..............

"I don't have radios"
Yeah, LMAO. How many drivers really have radios? You weren't that far back in the field either. I must say that was one of the biggest false starts I've seen yet.

I had a big laugh at NHMS at the expense of a SM driver/friend. He got seriously snookered at the start and came out of the car in impound griping at his crew for not giving him the green call in time. I was all like, "Dude, radio? Seriously? You were on the pole, look out the f*****g window!"
Geez! Baklava, pacifiers, condoms!?!!? Kinda glad our A car is not ready yet....you guys woulda been callin' me "that effin' old Kraut" by now!

I was hoping to make an appearance, but have lots of work in the shop... a good and bad thing.
Chris Rallo "the kid"
-- "wrenching and racing" -- "will race for food!" -- "Onward and Upward"
So in case nobody knew the secret to avoiding this stuff, it's to grab the pole and drive away from the field.
Ummmm, Matt will be making a wall of Gold if he keeps having his customers crash into other customers of his. Maybe that's why there are rumors of Matt convincing Lawton into retribution with Mickey? Or was that Abhi? Or Diane? LMAO
See you boys at the Glen next month.

I saw the field compress and popped to the right to avoid hitting Chris.
Note my "sudden loss of talent" at the 13:45 mark on the downhill.
