OMG!!!!!!!! after seeing the vid maybe not
I Wish we had a tyre changing comp somewhere in AUS... iv changed enough tyres at work i rekon id give the 49 seconds bloke a run for his money... lol
There actually is one Josh - it is held at the NSW - CDKC Junior Development Camp in January each year. Held on the Thursday / Friday before the National Breast Cancer Foundation Ladies Race Day. You have to take the tyres off one side of the kart and swap them to the other side and vice versa. Only the mechanic and driver allowed near the kart. Standing start to race to karts then go for it.
Fantastic competition - Think I finished sixth this year (and yes there were more than six people in the race :) )
i might need to time my self.....
Big Darren Rae from Geelong. The man can pop a bead on a inflated tyre with one hand. Matty Hayes would get the vote for quickest complete axel change. Normally a makes his mind up to do so after the 3rd and final call to have your kart on the grid. Also he's pritty quick at a complete kart set up from a frame in a box to a complete kart on the grid. Not that he's destroyed many to get the practice. though.
I'll just stick to the tyre scissors and save my hands. About 5 mins is good enough for me.
those dudes on the you tube are unreal.
I wonder how long it would take to bead em up as well.
JESUS that guy on the left was a machine lol
jace lindstrom was in that comp i think, not sure of his time tho..
Scott ask DV how quick he could change a set of YEQ's while working for John Wright.
