Mistakes Were Made

Post you pictures of mistakes resulting in some sort of failure.

First one is mine. Wires came loose and dragged until I could no longer start my kart.

This second one is the result of not righting the main bolt on a vortex clutch.

:astonished_face: good thread topic. What do you mean by righting the main bolt?

Like the one time I raced my x30 with no cooling and can’t read without reading glasses so I ignore the mychron saying “Hey Dumbass, you are Chernobyling your engine!”?

Jerry when I coasted quietly and slowly into pits…

I can help you here.
It’s not because I haven’t made my share of mistakes. I’m usually too embarrassed to have any photo documentation.
I left a wheel loose once. That is my biggest shame. Not only the fact that it ruined our sessions, it cost $50 for penalty but mostly because I could have hurt someone.

@Brianf60 I’ve done that. Tire made it to the apex before I did.

It was a typo. I meant “tightening”.
