I was under the rear end of a JBL in the pits at Willow Springs years ago, some guy was asking a bunch of questions, I was going to crawl out from under the car to try and answer them, slid out from under the car and while doing a sit-up on the asphalt, all forward motion of my torso was stopped when "PING" my left front tooth hit the quickjack. Immediately put hand to my mouth to see how much blood would be pouring out from what had to be a knocked out tooth. None. It hurt like heck,but didn't get chipped, broken or knocked out. I thought it had to be cracked,so I kept sneaking a peek in mirrors the rest of the day to check if it was still there. I don't think I got to answer any the guy's questions, he split when the profanity started.
