I'll be sure to set up a handicap system just for you.

Everyone is mounting a 17"rim, while you get a 22".
Psshh.. Try mounting an 18" runflat on a TRD wheel for an SC430.. Talk about difficult, haha. It was funny when we had called the Hunter guy to fix our machine and we let him try a TRD wheel, and he basically gave up and left.

So to be clear you are not mounting a tire to a wheel you are mounting it to the hub and competing against another person.

No air tools either !

Yeah those are tough. But the one that is harder than the 18" RFT on a TRD would be the RFTs on a BMW 5 series. I think they come in a 275 which is very hard. I have to use a third arm sometimes.

Well you basically become a spector at that point and can come and go as you please.

You would need to drive in to be eligible for raffle, tees, etc. per the requirements stated by the OP.

You've haven't seen difficult AND PITA until you've tried a Honda Odyssey Touring wheel which is a Michelin PAX system tire/wheel assembly. Legend at work has that these tires are imfamous for sending techs to the hospital until both Honda and Michelin mandated a Coats APX90E as required shop equipment.

You get ONE ticket, though we might think about awarding a ticket to the tire change winners as an option. Don't count on it though.

There are still MORE nice raffle items to be posted over the next few days.

It always takes over an hour to raffle this amount of goods, so the tire change competition is going to allow the lower dollar items to be won instantly throughout the day. Grand Prizes to be awarded through the raffle tix provided and will be held at the end of the day.

Those who have gone to previous EOS meets know the details of our raffle process.

It works quite well.

Raffle rules to be posted on this thread in a few days.
