No plans. De dusting my clothes.
Truck had to swap a hub. Parts were delivered onto the race course were a different lug pattern and had 3/4" studs vs 5/8. And they had no lug nuts. They managed to weld two oversized nuts on with a gumball welder. We found them with the nuts backing off making the truck undrivable. The race was over and we were headed out of the pit. We didn't have any major tools since we went a different direction than the rest of our crew. So we were at a loss. Turns out they had a chase truck behind them somewhere that had the welder. My brother in law ran back to find the chase truck it was buried in a lagoon. Got the welder came back to us. In the mean time. We shoved the screwdriver in there as a temp wedge so we could reweld the lug nuts. Then decided we should weld it in as well. The truck managed to get to the hwy. 60
More miles of dirt. Really fun fix and day.
The driver was Nick Baumgaedner. (Probably spelled wrong). He is a professional snow boarder. Really cool dude.
