We all have done the pit scavenger hunt right?
2 of my favorites were...

At Laguna Seca I needed to replace a little pipe thread to AN10 fitting that was leaking oil.
I asked a friend at Bruce Canepa's pit area and he came out with a 5 gallon bucket of used fittings.
In that pile I found what I needed and made the afternoon race.

At Coronado one year the bumpy track pulled out and stripped a 5/8 inch diameter lower upright bolt.
On a Saturday afternoon my wife and friends drove around San Diego looking with no luck looking for a 3/4 inch diameter fine thread 2 inch long replacement bolt.

Robby Gordon's big hauler with his off road trucks were at the race too.
I asked Robby's crew member if they had any 3/4 inch fine thread 2 inch long heavy duty bolts.
Inside his semi trailer he opened a drawer and there was 2 of the exact bolts I was looking for.
We drilled out and tapped the uprights for the bigger 3/4 inch bolt and made the Sunday morning race.

Every race someone comes over to our trailer looking for something and I try to help them anyway I can.
