Yeah I can see it now...air jacks, real center locks....Randy pulls in the hot pit in the middle of a 20 minute DE run, crew runs out and swaps wheels for fresh rubber all in 15 secs!

You have it kind of right.

I pull in in teh middle of a 20 minute DE session

Crew puts car up on air jacks

Crew inspects RA1 to see if too many cords are showing.

If RA1 acceptable, car is lowered and I go back out to run tires until corded

Changing tires before the cords are showing is a sin

Flat Out Cheaters.......this is the best so far

Ahh so getting this special part is the gateway to acceptance. Well knowing that looks like this really is a 2 car team.

Even though I have studs, I'm going to buy this tool anyway as I'm certain Randy will lose his at some point

As far as names go, Mark Hicks (Chin Director fo those not from these parts) affectionately referred to us as "The Sebring Posse" when I was checking in about 6 months ago. And surprisingly named off just about everyone associated with this group. Impressive memory. Anyway, I kind of like it.

Once you iron out the team name, nick names should be assigned.

I'm already aware that I'm "Backmarker". Ugggh. Need to do something about that.
Nick is Manpurse or Metro
Mike is Bionic
Peter is Reter although that could be improved
Eddie... I have a few names that come to mind but probably politically incorrect. Let's go with "Green Card" or "The Claw" for now
I don't know even know where to begin with Randy.... Bully comes to mind..
Not sure about Erik or Rad. Peter and Randy will have to work on that.

If Erik is Reter's Mini Me, he's going to have to do something about all that hair
