Well I haven't followed this thread until a few posts ago. I didn't
get in on what started it? Anyway at the end of my first season
I got the chance to buy a Coates hand type changer for $200.00.
I jumped on it quickly. It works great but requires some practice,
sweat and muscle. I've only used it on Formula Ford and Sports 2000
tires. I got my $200.00 back half way through the next season.
