" Oops"
This, when after getting about 1/2 lap in from pitstop, my trug just stopped dead. Motor running, just wouldn't budge. Marshall couldn't figure it out, so I called it, had pit guy bring it in. Pulled the body off and found the fuel cap stuck in the center diff.

Driver: somethings broke the car feels wierd
pit person(drivers wife): what

End of the race the car had a broken rear shock tower at the bulkhead he still won the race by a lap....

This was when I first started so give me a little mercy... please.
I was pitting for a guy and was doing OK till he flamed out. Went and grabbed his buggy, put it on the starter, put on the ni-starter and pressed. I'm screaming "Give it some gas !!!" and pressing with all my might. He screams down "Flip it around, it's backwards" So I flip everything around, buggy AND starter box. He finally runs down from the drivers stand and flips the buggy around and it fires right up. I'm like "DOH ! Sorry about that" He's cool and just chuckles. He goes back up to the stand and I set his buggy on the pit ramp. While he's walking up the stairs he gives a little pull just to keep the motor running and the buggy drives off the pit lane and wrecks into a concrete barrier... and dies. I get it fired back up and he's off but I'm pretty sure he finished last.
