NASCAR Pit Crew - Jackman #1 

Imagine what it must feel like to be a NASCAR pit crew jackman.

Not only do you have to jack up the car, but you must also pull the right rear tire off after it has been loosened by the right rear tire changer. This helps to make for a quicker change of that tire.

You might say to yourself, big deal. The hydraulic jack lifts the car. All the jackman has to do is take off the rear right tire and get it out of the way so a new tire can be put on.

My question to you is:

Have you ever tried to lift one of those NASCAR tires?

Believe me. It's not an easy job, especially when every 100th of a second counts.

This is no job for a wimp.
