SAAC-35 I was running the track and the rear brakes were getting to hot. When I pulled into the garage I started ripping out the carpet behind the seats so I could open up a panel and get some air to the brakes for cooling. The various wives hanging in the garage were aghast, almost scared, as I tossed pieces of carpet here and there, cutting away with a razor blade.

The guys hanging around never missed a beat, totally understanding you gotta do what ya gotta do when it comes to track time.

Oh,,, I didn't enter the show part. I suspect I would have lost points for the carpet, not to mention that shoe lace repair dangling from the throttle linkage when a bolt broke. Hey, at least it was a racing shoe, shoe lace, a guys gotta have some dignity.
