I think it's the difference between 1 big nut VS 5 lug nuts. wink

WOW wonder what the payroll is.........jim

There is also the force fed fuel filler system - not legal in NASCAR. The gravity feed cans take as long as changing two tires - 2 cans = 4 tires. So even if they had 8 guys doing tires with one large nut, they'd still be waiting for fuel!

Which of the 8 guys had one large nut ? biggrin biggrin

The large nuts are always in the middle - 5 small nuts are on about a 5'' bolt circle. :^)

I still think Nascar guys have WAY more skill than these guys. Did you see the incident on Sunday where one of the pit crew actually jumped over the hood as the car was leaving! lol. Amazing timing.

I had to do the jump over the hood thing when my mother inlaw left one day, 91 still driving, she put in gear then had to put her seat belt on ,stood on the gas instead of brake. Keep your eyes peeled for a black dodge concord....I don't want to be the one to tell her to pack it in ..........THATS SWEETYS JOB..

21 guys and a car coming in dead straight try that with 30-40 cars at once Those open wheel cars are as interesting as watching beer go flat

Formula 1 drivers are the best.
Nothing special about the pit crews.

F1 stopped fueling cars a few years ago in the pits. Now they carry as much fuel as they need to run the race.

No fuel being put in on this video.
But note the 8 air guns, two for each wheel. Just in case.

Forgive me, I haven't watched F-1 for about a dozen years or so. I find it so un-relate able to anything in my world. ....but they used to force feed 'em. wink

I still watch the odd race but it seems it has become more of a follow the leader series now. Who ever makes it through the first turn first seem to win all the time.
