I’d like to see a whole Race like that.

I’m gonna do some testing on short video captures and see if I can make that work.

Mama is on a “Spring cleaning thing” so I gotta run for now.

[Chode]

200 Grid spot Penalty!!

Hey, got a ?

On the stop that they had the Wheel nut stuck in the old rim, why did they have to bring that wheel/tyre assy back out and get the nut off it?

Am I thinking of Indy Cars that the Gun Dude had a spare on his person/belt or was it F1 and they changed the Regs?

[nascarnation]

I’m guessing that they must have a tab/sleeve or some mechanical feature that retains the nut to the wheel but allows it to spin on. Definitely one less thing to jockey when changing the tires.

Yes in Indycar and Nas the tire guys have a spare(s) on their tool belt.

I prefer the entire Nascar pit regulations because it makes things more difficult, puts more emphasis on the crew skill.

[mabarker1]

No, the nut comes off with the socket. It is locked on the spindle with the tabs shown in this pic.

and should stay in the socket as it comes off and is reused with new set of shoes. The socket pushes over the 2 Tabs and allows the nut to come off the spindle. Then upon reinstalling the nut the Tabs are collapsed as the nut/socket go on the spindle and pop back out as the socket comes off the spindle.

The nut does should not stay with the wheel assy.

IIRC they used to have a spare nut on the Tyre Changer. I'm taking a guess that has changed.

Is that how Yur lawnmower is Sarge?

I know Y'All do things different in Da 'Bayou...

Well back to Septic Tank Land again- Gosh!- I so much LUV going into the TurdZone.
