Can any of you "car experts" tell me how to change a tire?

1. ROTFLMAO!!!

Thanks Underpants!! I've already forwarded this to my Boss and his son, who drives for Mazda. Usually I wouldn't share with Repugs, but this is too funny!

6. I tend to shy away from the

filter feeders. Someone made me eat crab once and I blew groceries all over a restaurant.

3. MMMM...Doing a sherlock Holmes, I suspect that the Man was...

not hit by the car but was standing on the other side of the tire.
The car came down the ramp, caught the tire in the right front tire (of the car), pushed the tire outward...as seen in the photograph, and knocked the man's feet from under him...

Elementary ..my dear watson...

7. It really doesn't matter which racing venue is involved

There have been similar mishaps in F-1, CART, Indy Car, SCCA, etc, etc, etc.

Anytime you've got a situation where you're trying to refuel, change tires, etc, in a very high speed evolution, you're going to have the occasional mishap. Aside from the obvious injury factor, it is NOT in the best interests of the team to have a problem. You want to get the car in, serviced, and back on the track as quickly as possible.

There are also similar accidents on the sides of public roads.

10. One of the funniest thing I have ever seen.....

I think it was last year (might have been two years ago) a car ran out of gas WAY up the pit lane and the crew had to run and push it down the pit lane. These guys weren't too accustomed to running. It was both sad and funny.

11. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

that's hilarious; I hope that they had their post-race coolers well-stocked to ward off the effects of all that exercise. And, I never posted on your previous thread, but congrats on the propagation, I'm sure it will make the holidays that much more memorable :D

12. Thanks

Yeah some of the pit crew never actually made it to the car. About three of them got it rolling and as the car got to some of them they helped out. Some of the guys were so winded they never touched the car and I am talking about maybe 100 yards of running. Even the play by play guys were making fun of it but in a "aren't they proud to not excercise" kind of way.
