Topic: Any veterans willing to share procedures for Stafford?
Our team is all newbies, with basically no racing or pit stop experience. I read all the treads on the forum about Stafford. We're trying to figure out how to get everything done in a pitstop without looking like the Four Stooges. I assume you can change drivers in pit lane(?). Can you change tires there, check fluids etc. there too? I know you have to drive to a refueling pad, right?
So how exactly does a pit stop go and who usually does what? I'm assuming you check the lug nuts, look at the coolant and maybe oil/brake fluid, check for leaks / stuff falling off the car, plus swap the drivers, fill the drink bottle, change the video tape (if any). How long does a "good" pitstop take?
I also don't quite understand what you do to follow the no-driver-swap-during-refueling rule. Does this mean you stop in the hot pits, put the new driver in the car, drive to the fueling area, get out of the car, fuel, then put that new driver back in the car?
Sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm sure it's obvious if you've done it before.
