[s-cars] belly pan

[Robert Rossato]

FWIW, I have never had a problem with my belly pan (not that my belly
doesn't have a problem).  I was actually referring to somebody else's
escapades on they're way to S-fest a few years back.  From what I
understand the 3 fighter pilots in tight formation had to do an
emergency stop en route to either reattach, finish removing, or go pick
up said belly pan before resuming they're flight plan to S-fest.

Yeah, track officials get real pesky when stuff starts flying off your
car. You will be given the "meatball" flag for sure.
