For the record - there is no rule in AWS (or even generally in most RGE leagues) that forbids to rejoin the race after crash,so basically instead of stressing yourself you could just telepit and rejoin. Understandably a lot of time has been lost due incident,but still it a worthful experience to complete a race distance.
not worth rejoining.
also, the fact you said "complete a race distance" doesn't make sense because I would always be lapped around 3 laps into the race BY THE WHOLE PACK..
