Smallest or cheapest?

What's the smallest or cheapest thing that has knocked you out of a race? Just curious lol.

Last night.....mine was a #12 X 3/8" long bolt.

Happened to be the bolt that held the wire terminal on the solenoid jumper wire for my mini-starter.
Came loose......I was in staging for round 3. Hit the starter button....barely tried to turn over then the dreaded click click of the solenoid. Thought it was a dead battery. Back in the pits found the wire but it was already too late. The wire was just laying there and was arcing enough to try and make the starter spin.

O-ring in a push-lok fitting

The little plastic piece that holds the throttle cable into the pedal

With all the stupid issues with the damn throttle cable it got the boot and now have a 1/4" rod with heim joints on both ends.

Drain valve was open on the radiator catch can. They backed me off the starting line for a water drip.
