If I were Ron, I would have been after the crew with a tire iron after the race.
Another race lost in the pits.

Not sure that a faulty gas can is the crews fault.

Gas can or crew. It sure cost him.

"faulty gas can"? I wonder just what the duties of the gasman are between fillups? Are those things THAT fragile? Naaawww the buck HAS to stop somewhere... Mishandling or something caused the problem. Only one way to see it from this seat, and it was not fate that caused it.

The release valve did not release. It forced them to get another gas can. Suppose when a jack fails it has to be the jackmans fault?

Hmmmm, I wonder who is in charge of the release valve? Would it be the gasman? You asked about failing jacks... Do you think each jack man TWEAKS his jacks for better performance? Would it be the TWEAK that has failed? I seem to remember that hyd jacks around here last most of a lifetime without failing. Hmmm sort of makes one think, huh?

The valve on the filler end of the can is taken off before the can is refilled. Could be the gasman didn't put it back on correctly.
At any rate, after the first failure to get the can in, why didn't he go ahead and get the 2nd can?
