Can all be mitigated, but I like sharing my mistakes if someone learns anything at all from it.

I had a similar thing happen to me at my first race weekend at Roebling with NASA. I made it back during the session before my race after getting some lunch and had to sit there and watch as all the SpecE30s headed to the grid. I had to wait till that session was done then rush across the track and get in my suit and get the car out on track. I think I started 2 laps down, haha. I told myself I would never leave the track for lunch again, and I haven't missed a race start since.
