Race Control chisek Posted May 31, 2013 Race Control Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Racing all day is hard. By the time the checker falls all most of us can think of is getting to bed. It is during this time that people forget things and leave them behind. I make a sweep of the pits/paddock at night and before I leave in the morning which has netted me some good stuff - fire extinguishers, fuel jugs, chairs, gloves, etc. Sometimes the team who lost the item contacts me and I can give them their stuff back. Most times not and it goes in a pile in the barn. So, here is your official lost and found thread. Lose something? Post it up here. Find something?

Race Control chisek Posted May 31, 2013 Author Race Control Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Lost at Daytona - small black Skip barber bag, and inside there was one radio, the headset and 2 chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcakes Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Jim lost his cooler on pit lane stall 30. I think the GoDaddy team might have mistakenly grabbed it after the race, that's the side it was on. Can't remember the color because for some reason I never remember colors... It had dog food and maybe some PBR in it. Probably a good thing the beer was out of reach because I got pulled over by the cops on the way home that night with no lights or tag on my car trailer. I think the cop was a chumpcar fan by the time he let me go with a warning - he asked a million questions about the race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin9 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think we left a bright green power cord in pit stall 31... after the bbq the guys brought the stuff back to the truck while I cleaned up the mess... and apparently we are down a power cord... i guess... I had two, now I have one... for all I know, mom may have borrowed it from the team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick House Racing Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Looks like there was a run on power cords. I am missing an orange 100 footer on a reel from garage #9. Had a repaired end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Cobra Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 SD chip, blue with smeared red writing on it. I know that is a long shot. A team member lost his car keys. We looked everywhere for them. Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcakes Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I lost $96,413 at Daytona. Anyone find it? I'll bite. Gotta hear this one. Lots of napkin math going on at this event because of the huge turnout. Popular speculative consensus is that the Chief Chump went home from Daytona with duffel bags of cash too big to be allowed as carry-ons when he boarded his flight home. The airplane might have even been too heavy to take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.0 Fugitive Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I lost $96,413 at Daytona. Anyone find it? I think 120+ teams of mental patients found it and had a good time with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im curious as well but if so, so be it, he deserves something to make up for the races where he caught the entire bill, his sandbox and one hell of one, kudos !

I think the cop was a chumpcar fan by the time he let me go with a warning - he asked a million questions about the race. I think that we have the cooler. It was grey with an expandable handle and wheels. There was no PBR in it, but there was a half eaten chicken and a few Gatorades. It was in the corner of pit stall 29. We have yet to unload the trailer but I am pretty sure that is an accurate description. At a fuel stop halfway home we realized that we managed to “antique†the entire interior of our trailer with a premature evacuation of a 10lb fire bottle somewhere inside. We the can bring the cooler to the next race or figure out someway to get it back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember some nasty chicken livers in there that were for Jim's pitbulls. Thank you so much - I guess our team managed to get to the PBRs before you picked it up. I hope the squirrel didn't get too much of the extinquisher powder in his fur . Be sure and remove all of that stuff from the car because its highly corrosive and could cause body panels to rust which I am sure is the last thing you want to have happen to your concours racecar. Just keep the cooler as a gift from your pit mates. It was great racing with you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Our fire extinguisher walked off at Watkins Glen. Easy to do as they are all red. It had a tag that said it was last serviced in Lakeville, MN. Our new Fire Extinguisher will be heavily labeled/stickered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEADSLEDLINCOLN Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Our new Fire Extinguisher will be heavily labeled/stickered. With what I've heard about the amount of TBR stickers that "appear" on random items at races won't that just make it blend in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
