Buddy,
I did what Genolan did and I never did get a bite though I came close a time or two. When you are racing and the adrenalin is going and you come into the pits to stop sometimes it is hard to remember. I think the old saying that Once the Helmet goes on all common sense leaves is true. My near bite came when I dropped a wrench and it went under the car a little bit. I started to reach under there and felt the heat from the pipe and got my hand back quickly and then moved the car to get the wrench.
