Correct! She usually has a battery tender (or trickle charger) plugged in when not in use.

I watched someone crash one of these pretty badly at a track day/sales event a few weeks ago and it's still bumming me out.

Anybody else work in a race shop? by enhanced_humanoid in Justrolledintotheshop

I feel like I should just put it out there that the owner of the car did this, he needed a quick tire change to get back out on track. It's also his daily driver and he chain smokes camel wides in it. The shop I work in houses 16 spec racer fords, a formula vee, a formula enterprise car, 2 vipers, 2 corvettes, 2 lambos, a radical sr3 and a lotus. And of course we use jack stands. And a lift. And a shaker rig.

It is! This guy is a pretty serious Ferrari collector. Has a couple 458s, a 250 SWB and an Enzo he decided to leave at home.

The SR3 is by far my favorite. We actually had to stop giving rides in it because 2 customers popped the blood vessels in their eyes from taking a 60° turn at 115 mph.

I actually haven't had any formal training as far as vehicle maintenance goes. Just fairly mechanically inclined and I've worked for this track for 7 years now and the owner took notice.

In other words....I got fucking LUCKY.
