Yep, you have a split second to react in these tight venues. A stuck throttle or a loss of brakes and you're screwed. At a local SCCA event, a throttle stuck on a miata and ended up a set of steps and almost through a building. The whole self tech thing is a load of bull sheet. EVERYBODY shoudl be subject to an inspection by a knowledgable racer with tech experience. If nothing else, two sets of eyes are always better than one.
Guys, we are hauling ass in these protouring cars. Every time I get out on the road course, I"m reminded of the importance of quality parts and maintenence. These aren't factory engineered cars. Things do work there way loose and wear out prematurely. We are pushing these things to the max!
