I still stand by my assertion that things can get pretty strained, though. Crewing is not something to be taken lightly. But then my experience is mostly with stage race support for one to two weeks.

You are absolutely correct that things can get pretty strained with the crew on RAAM. Some of the stories about crew issues on RAAM are legendary! My point was that with a really good crew chief many of those issues don't get blown out of proportion. It's definitely something that shouldn't be taken lightly.
