We went from open trailer , pick up trucks with gaskets stacked behind seats to
70 plus foot rigs and dual deckers but u don’t have a gasket set or tools to tear it down?!?!
And aren’t the parts on the car supposed to go back on the car where they came from?
Indy should be fun!

I am guessing there are some that buy their engines from an engine builder and have someone assemble the engine and transmission in the car then go racing. They probably have no idea what gaskets to bring with them if they did not get a set from the engine builder. Some may not have the knowledge or the physical ability to take the engine apart and put it back together and race the next day. I don't haul an engine hoist or engine stand with me to the race track but I have plenty of tools and gaskets to take a head off.
