Yeah, an arm hanging off...LOL...yeah it's done.

Body tucks, ballcups, even loose wheels if there's someone handy with a wrench. I wouldn't bail on turnmarshalling to fix a car, but most of us are fully capable of watching AND snapping a ballcup back on. The race comes first, of course.

I wouldn't be at a big race where it mattered...or where people would complain about you helping someone...LOL...

For our bigger races, the marshals should hand the car off to someone if it needs to be fixed.
