SCM Team Wins Race!

The SCM team members John Park, Skip Heidler, April James, John James, Steve Bosley, Terry Parrish, Linda Robinson and Ted Robinson started 12th in a field of 20 cars at the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the AWI convention.  Crew chief John Park organized the team in descending size order to effect the fastest changes.  We went from 12th to 4th in the first pit stop and stayed in the top 5 the rest of the race trading places from 1st and 2nd a few times.  The goal of each pit stop was to exchange a team member in and out of the car in the passenger side, properly connect the HANS device and the 5 point safety restraint system, fuel the car (we used a water can) and clean the wind shield and front of the car.  We had a team of seven and we all had jobs to perform every 5 laps.

The last exchange was with Steve Bosley from Superfici and he was in and out of the car in record time, under 30 seconds.  We won the last crew change and our driver ended up winning the race by a few feet.  We all had a lot of fun and thank the AWI for arranging this event.  It was a highlight of the AWI conference and a great team building event!
