    Spark Plug Changing Contest Video

    (Thanks, Matt for making the video)  This was in Kalispell, Montana in 2011 at the BASH.

    If you are new to FYIFORD and have no idea what a plug-changing competition entails, here is a good video of one "heat".  That is Glen on the left, who held the first place title for many years.  Glen has been to every bash ever held, and this will be the 10th annual.

    Glen took home a huge tool kit as first prize and the second place took home a floor jack for their efforts.  Fastest time is around 35 seconds to remove and reinstall 4 plugs.  Maybe next time we will have to cover their hands with grease to make it more challenging.

    MS, 35 seconds may have been the fastest time in Kalispell but IICR, fastest time in Tomball was 30 or 31 dont remember exactly but Josh may remember!  I finished 3rd and my best time was 35,  I just cant seem to beat that!!

    Yeah... I am thinking maybe this year we put the heads in the bottom of a trash can for the plug changing contest to simulate real world conditions...
