GT-R Festival has been the last few days, with the final day Sunday coming up today. We have been busy, with tons of people and cars coming through. With a super sticky track, lots of driveline carnage and other parts breakage.
Here is a protip from someone that was in the US Navy for 6 years, and around pro racing for 20 years.
BRING SPARES!!!!!
Do not leave it at the shop. Its better to have and not need vs need and not have.
In the Navy, everything has a backup. If you are out floating around the ocean you have to be your own support. For racing, if you travel thousands of miles, and spend tens of thousands of dollars to get somewhere, not having that part costs you a weekend. When we raced I brought 3-5 engines, 3-5 transmissions, and anything and everything else that would fit in the trailer. I would bring a entire spare car. I have had to use the spare car. I have had to borrow parts from street cars. If your shop doesn't look like it was robbed, you didn't load right.
