I love learning about new techniques for jacking.

I never thought about swinging it around in front of a car to twist it before giving it a single pump.

“No more cranking it up, Mike. Let’s do it like old times and crank one out.”

These guys make it look so easy. Wild.

Operating a single-pump jack takes a decent amount of effort just to get the car to go up and then you're basically throwing the equivalent of a full carry-on bag behind your back as you run around a car.

Wasn’t there a video last year of Gragson literally throwing his entire body in to hanging off the ground and he couldn’t get the car up? 😂

I freaking love Bozi so much. Hearing him on actions detrimental this week really made me wish Dirty Mo would give him a tech podcast to be on. Relevant tech topic from each week. Would be fantastic.

Agreed.

I really like how in depth he gets with things. During a broadcast they can only scratch the surface, but he can really break down each part of whatever he's talking about.

Wait until Harbor Freight becomes the official jack provider of NASCAR and the jack man has to keep pumping to keep the car up while the tires get changed.

That looks so clean!

I'm all for innovation but this seems to have many bad risks involved...hit by another vehicle, tire, etc...but at that point the pit stop may be already going to shit

NASCAR pit stops in general are way too risky, way too complicated, way too slow, and way too expensive.

NASCAR pit stops are the most athletic version of a pit stop that you'll find in any series and the fact that manual jacks are still used adds an incredibly cool element to them.

u/mechanixrboring Briscoe 23h ago

It's a hallmark of the series, in my opinion. If they asked the NASCAR Garage 56 program to bring a manual jack to Le Mans, you know it's unique enough to show the entire world.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't give a shit. I don't watch racing to watch people dance around a car.

I watch racing to watch drivers drive.

u/joshjarnagin 1d ago

Then why spend all your time complaining about pit stops?

u/shewy92 1d ago

Dude complains about everything.
