They will want to pull you off the track immediately. They won't take time to fiddle with your stuff, so be sure it's quickly and readily accessible otherwise they will tie onto whatever they can.

thanks.
is that plastic strip under the tow hook necessary? I should probably cut it off. I want to make the under cover into 1-piece again when i address the cover under the IC and the missing bumper tabs

Youll get it fixed but @ first i thought the tow hook failed. The track exposes all faults for sure!

ah. the nose ring saved me from the embarrassment of (again) delaying an already late track day. the AAA guy still preferred to winch my car with t-hooks though
guess now i have to learn to service the clutch

yes the clutch is, I'm hoping the mitsu throw out bearing is fine. this is the first time i'm hearing about a "monoloc" solution to this seemingly common issue. I did change to SRF fluid and upgraded the line to the slave cylinder so that probably got me into this issue
