Organized chaos – a pitstop

In the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series, each team is allowed four crewmen over the wall to service the car during pitstops. (The team is also required to have one person over the wall with a fire extinguisher when they are refueling, and can also have a crewmember assisting with a driver change – neither count against the four allowed to work on the car).
