The 25th Annual Arizona High School Pit Crew Challenge tested the skills of the Safford High School students.

From an article on the Eastern Arizona Courier website:

Safford High School Advanced Autos students competed in a number of activities around the state this year and brought home plenty of hardware.

An advanced autos team placed second in the annual Bondurant Pit Crew Challenge. This challenge was a timed event involving tire rotation, spark plug, wire and distributer cap removal on a Chevy 350 block with putting the wires back in the proper firing order.

The team actually had first place but dropped a tool by the car that had to be retrieved before the clock was stopped.
