Tire Changing on a Dirt Late Model

[a25rjr]

Anyone remember what happened to Bloomquist I think it was last year at Bubba Raceway Park when he had a RR tire go down? The tire wrapped itself around the entire beadlock cover? I had never seen that before. The crew had knives out trying to cut enough away to just get to the dzus fasteners.

yep, I was there watching that fiasco from the pit stands.....there was more knives flying around than at a Japanese hibachi grill!

A lot of times, as has been hinted at, the lr is forward and behind the body. Makes it difficult to get on or off. I almost joined a Francis pitstop at Mansfield last year to pull the rear bumper down while it set on the jack. They were killing me.

That's why you jack it up under the rearend and not the frame.

Changing tires on the fly is a rare occurrence in a late model. The time used to practice pit stops that aren’t going to be used too often would be better used doing maintnence or getting new stuff together for your next set of races.

Exactly. That is what they were doing. Only reason adding weight to the rear bumper would have helped them. It still doesn't get you to ride height, usually.
