Weve all done them, things in the pits that most "sane" people would either not believe or wonder why.

I was talking with long time racer, and Max Wedge guy who has helped immensly on this project the mysterious "Mr M" and he was talking about someone back in the 70's with one guy jumping on either fender of a new car to wedge the car under the improvised lift to get the engine back in....my thought was "yeah so, sounds reasonable ( I would have pulled the tires and ran it up on drums or rotors" but , ive said before I can be a "hack" by nature. (Pits included in this case , Hotel Parking Lots, Parts Parking lots etc)

What are some of the sillier, stupider, and more awesome things you guys have done in the pits all in the name of MAKING it happen at all cost....

Modifications, improvments, etc.

I d love to hear some of the things the vet drag racers have done to make the pass. Smart repair items , duct tape rubber bands and tinfoil engineering.
