pitting on gilligan's island had several other inconveniences, the location (the staging area for the drag races, was landlocked by the race course, and crew members were unable to leave once the race began, teams sent the only pit crew to gilligan's island, and once they were there, they could not access the garage area or their transporters, to collect spare parts/tools, the only repairs that could be made were routine tire changes and refueling, as well as major repairs, if a team pitting on gilligan's island dropped out of the race, the crewman were unable to pack their supplies and prepare to leave (a common practice at other tracks) until the race was over.
