What happens here

Upon arrival at the track, an unforeseen challenge is encountered: a trailer tire blowout. To address this, safely locate the jack and any necessary tools from the tow vehicle. Position the jack securely under the trailer frame near the affected tire. Using the jack handle, slowly and carefully raise the trailer until the damaged tire is off the ground. Once elevated, proceed with the tire change by removing the lug nuts and replacing the tire with a spare. This critical roadside repair ensures the race car can be properly unloaded and prepared for competition.

Goal: Successfully repair a trailer tire blowout to ensure safe arrival and car unloading.

week or so at the most. >> Never fails. We have the spare. Wow, that's amazing. I didn't think we did. This jack is supposed to be for the race car. Hopefully, it is beefy enough to do the trailer, too. We'll find out. >> Anything to get to the truck, right? >> Yep. And if this doesn't work, we can always drive over a curb somewhere. >> Yeah. >> Um >> Well, there's truckers over there. >> Yeah, we'll ask them. At least I'll get this one off first. >> Yeah. >> A little bit of creativity. Unhook it from the truck so it doesn't have to lift the truck. Leave the jack in the back so it can pivot on it. And that was enough to get it up. I hope this isn't a recurring thing. I don't want to have breakdowns or issues every time we drive the track. But now we're two for two. Anyway, now we can fill up the gas cans. Fill the generator like we were supposed to. And the gas can >> Well, we got to fill them again once we fill the generator. >> Yeah, the generator takes more than 5 gallons. >> Whether or not we need five gallons more is different cuz we're not there as for as long as we normally are. Champion generator does pretty dang good.
