...During nighttime, by rule, you can't send the racers out by themselves. So you have to stop the racer. And you have to fix this yourselves. AAA isn't coming – or if they are it's going to be a couple of hours, at least. There's no such thing as “Race SAG”. Bring the other van back – if they can get here faster than you can fix the flat, they can support the racers while you finish up. And since there's nothing better for the racers to do, they should have something to eat. (and try to relax). 

How'd you do? One of our crew members complained that a lot of the answers to my crew quiz "sounded plausible". That happens on RAAM - you reach a decision point and someone suggests something that sounds pretty reasonable - but it might be dead wrong. If you don't know better, you might just go with it. 

Crew meeting in 5...4...3...2...1....Woo hoo. Here's a crewing question for y'all: 

1. You are in the follow vehicle. It is night (of course it's night – ultra racing is just like horror movies; all the bad stuff is probably going to happen at night). BUMP! The follow vehicle just got a flat tire. What do you do?
   
   

• Send the racer ahead and fix the flat as fast as you can.
  
  
• Stop the racer. Call the other van back to help. Start fixing the flat and instruct the racers to remain calm and have something to eat.
  
  
• Call race headquarters so that the race SAG can come and help.
  
  
• Call AAA. That's what they're for.
