After looking at the picture of your unfortunate Spit, if I was doing tech
at the SE VTR I'd want to be sure the deck lid isn't going to fly off and
hurt someone and that there's nothing inside that might come out. I'd also
want to make sure the rear end's still attached properly and pointing
generally in the right direction and that the tires aren't going to be
making contact with the body anywhere.
Given the venue (airport taxiway), its possible that this could have some
fairly high speed sections so you'll want to make sure its safe.
Hope to see you there..
