Lending out race car parts.
Throughout a race season all of us at one time or another loan out a part or borrow a part. And 99.99% of the time we remember who we borrow the parts from or lend to. This past season I loaned out a MSD Pro Coil (new) and never got it back. And do you think I can remember who I loaned it to? Of course not. And yes I usually right down who I lend to. And I'm sure the person I lent it to forgot as well. But as most of us know after you reach 50 the memory isn't what it used to be. Wouldn't even noticed it was missing but going to the dyno this week and was going to use it and it wasn't in the trailer. Maybe I'll get lucky and its a member of Classracer and he'll read this post.

Re: Lending out race car parts.
Bob,
Funny you bring this up. I bought a set of Roadster headers from someone and it took me a while to see if they fit. Then when I got around to trial fitting them a lot of "Life Issues" came up and I forgot who to pay. I can't even remember if it was someone on this forum or Inside Comp Racing forum. Are you sure it wasn't a set of headers you lost instead of a coil? Bob, now my wife tells me that she thinks I paid for them....OH, No!

Re: Lending out race car parts.
We keep a dry-erase board in the trailer and write down everytime we loan a friend something. Makes it easier

Re: Lending out race car parts.
I have some Tools "SO RARE" that I could sell them at Mecum for a huge profit.
I lent them out and they got returned !  Dan |

Re: Lending out race car parts.
Borrowing parts, pieces, tools are all a part of our racing community! I have borrowed, rocker arms, push rods, head gaskets, electrical fuses, bolts.....I hope that I replaced everything! I also have lent out, and or gave out what ever someone has needed, if we have it. Our policy has always been if we need to borrow something we need to replace it and carry what ever it is as a spare. If we forget remind us.....it would never be intentional.
