So I guess we will never see you in CM where many cars:
1: Get started by a off-board battery
2: Do not have cooling fans on the radiators and need moving air to stay
cool.
3: Do not have alternators to recharge batteries on those cars that do have
electric fans or start off of the on board battery.
The car I drive has on-board start and a fan. There are four drivers. This
means the car would have to be started 24 times in one day at Nationals
between time on the charger at night. We could probably do it with a brand
new battery, but one with a season on it? Probably not.

Personally, I would never field a car that is prone to overheating by merely
idling in grid, or won't restart under it's own power because it requires an
off-board battery to do so. That's my choice and I would have to live with
the weight penalties. At the same time I refuse to listen to arguments from
someone who runs with no on-board battery or alternator or generator just to
save weight and then cries because their car can't be restarted.
C'mon folks, it's time to get acquainted with a nice little philosophy of
mine called "personal responsibility" in which one accepts all repercussions
from their actions without trying to place the blame on someone else.
