Without it, you will miss a session or race that you've spent hundreds or thousands to be there for. As racers get more serious, their trailers tend to get bigger, as they acquire more support equipment to make sure they are operating at maximum efficiency with maximum support. $25 for a couple of plug ends is one of the first items of support equipment a racer should have. Even without a dedicated booster battery, you can use your street car in the paddock and find aid from others on the grid.
