For short mains 5-10 minutes, you really only need that pit man to have your truck at the starting line so you can rev it, and keep it hot for the start. Theres no sense in trying to fix a truck, or refuel it during a short main. You'll lose too much time. Longer mains the pit guy will be refueling for you, and possibly wrenching.

When racing...be sure you have some spare crystal channels and abide closely by the no RADIO in the pits rule...

This Sunday AT DirtBurners I'll be a volunteer PIT man as needed for anyone who needs help...I can tune and fix (not a TNX though...never even seen one yet).
