F1 Double Pitstop
probably because the Paoli pneumatic wheel guns cost ~$7,000. (pit crew has 8 of them, primary and backup per wheel)
Couldn't find a modern price for the wheel nuts, but they're 1-time use and were a few hundred dollars each 10-years ago.
So, why do they need my car for a full hour when I need new tires?!
When pit stops go dramatically wrong
Luckly there was no other race cars coming down the pitlane. See the snap reaction of the wheel gun guys on the far side, ran straight into the driving lane (I think this was the F1 era, before pit lane speed limiters).
After an investigation by 'Intertechnique' at Benetton's team factory, FIA (the sports ruling body) revealed that the team had been using an illegal fuel valve, without a fuel filter. This pumped fuel into the car 12.5% faster than a normal, legal fuel valve that had a filter.
Edit: Just checked that in 1994: Pit lane speed limited to 80km/h in practice, 120 km/h in the race. Fire-protective clothing for all refuelling crews Burns treatment material in each pit obligatory. Still, I wouldn't want to be hit by a F1 car at 120kph.

That was awesome. I want an AR15. I didn't even know that was legal in the states. That made my day. I'm moving to Arizona!
Every state should be open carry. And these news shills need to stop making a controversy out of our 2nd Amendment right.
Most states it is legal to own semiautomatic weaponry. A most pistols is semiautomatic, except for wheel guns, and those creepy auto pistols.
In Arizona it is legal to carry a weapon openly, just about any weapon even edged weapons.
BTW why is the sift so slow today?
