Crew members turn. I worked in an assembly plant for the one of big 3. I'd get up at 4:10am and drive 37.5 miles one way to work as my job was transfered from my home plant. I worked 9 to 10 hours a day on an assembly line rated at 65 jobs an hour. Jobs I did were installing transmissions, or A/C Compressors, Serpentine Fan Belts, all in less than a minute. At the end of my shift I would go straight to my friends garage to work on the race car. Using hand wrenches as we don't have any air tools, bead locks were rough. My family would meet me there sometimes so we could have dinner together, we did this many times. I would take naps during my breaks at work as I was only getting around 4hrs sleep at night. Come race day we would climb into the Suburban and tussle with my buddies dog for part of the back seat (she thought it was all hers). Off we went with the tool chest rattling away behind me so sleep was hard to come by. My feet cooking on the floor board with headers and turbo mufflers adding to the noise and heat. The A/C had taken a dive long ago so it's 4-70 air, 4 windows open at 70 mph. Coming home from a race and half as sleep when the clutch fan locks up and scares the daylights out of you. Or some drunk who want to prove he can drive a race car. Getting home with the sun coming up sometimes. Using vacation time so I can go racing for 2 days. Pushing the car by hand cause we didn't have an ATV, right turns were horrible. It was tough on us too especially when you drive 3 hours to a race and it's cancelled. Getting run over by an agressive driver in the B when you are both in a transfer spot and nobody is near you. Or the driver stuck it in the wall during time trials resulting in another sleepless week. Been there it's not an easy sport is it.
