Dumbest newbie thing,you did at the drag strip.....

Not drag strip, but circle track racing if that counts. Under yellow flag, car in front of me pulled into the pits, and for some reason I followed him into the pits on the back straight, then realized what I did and pulled back out on the front straight, did get my spot back since no one touched my car. Another time sitting in lineup for the feature, I had a funny feeling that something wasn't right, checked my seat belts, they were ok, still had the feeling, finally reached up to check that my firesuit was zipped up, and felt my helmet strap hanging down, unbuckled, pull of my gloves and buckle the helmet, just in time to pull out for the feature, as I am getting my gloves back on.
