Could This Be The Slowest Pit Stop In The History Of Motorsport?

[Kel]

Grab some popcorn, settle in and have a chuckle at us attempting a speedy NASCAR style tyre change at the 2003 Wakefiend 500....

LOL very funny.

But good on you all for getting out there, it would have been a blast.

Hang on a minute, I wasn't the tyre changer. Nower days I would control it all.

I was just the new boy holding the wheel bolts and that stupid plastic thing.

Where's the footage of me ripping off the front bar after Duncan punched some poor hapless fool up the bum because they were too slow?. And where the footage of wanker longhurst almost running you over Kel?.

Jokes aside it was brilliant fun

A few laps after this stop we got a safety car & mandatory petrol stop which got us to the back of the grid.

From there the boys drove like demons, not to mention our driver changes were a little quicker, and we ended up taking the lead about two hours from the end of the race.

About an hour from the end we were about to lap 2nd place (!!!!) - not that we knew it at the time - when we developed a misfire due to a failed alternator.

Lap times dropped from 1.20 to 2 minutes something, but we still managed to limp home and hold 2nd place, only getting overtaken in the dying minutes of the race (mind you in the pissing down rain, with no wipers or lights thanks to the dead alternator!)

Make a great storyline for a sappy racing movie.....

[sh@un]

and you thought Alonso had it tough at Spa last weekend...

[MBS206]

It's alright, if you did it bathurst style, Duncan could have climbed out, gone to the loo for a number two, and come back out and gotten in and still had to sit and wait...

[Duncan]

that race was heartbreaking....we fought for 6 hours, smashed them, had it in the bag.....and then lost it due to an alternator shitting itself.

the pit stop was cool....crew done great for a bunch of rank amateurs

its a real shame the video only goes for 30 min....its really hard to imagine just how long and hard 3x 2 hour stints in a race car really are.

Jess....I've given up on the year for the state champs so I'm lining up a few other events instead. MRA at wakie is on the short list with W500, national supersprint at Phillip Island, SAU Oran Park day. And we are definate for 1hr enduro at Oran Park and Mt Buller sprint too. Hell of a mixed year

[Marlin]
