Redding man third-fastest tire changer : Latest News : Redding Record Searchlight: "A tire technician at Redding’s Big O Tires on Cypress Avenue has placed third in the 2009 Tire Rodeo in Orlando, Fla.

“It was pretty tough, pretty entertaining,” said 23-year-old Michael Shreffler as he waited for his flight home at the airport today. “It was definitely a challenge.”

Shreffler, a Redding native and 2004 graduate of Central Valley High School, was one of just eight contestants chosen to compete from across the country. He advanced to the national finals after winning the Western division contest by posting a winning time of 4 minutes, 19 seconds.

His time Thursday was 2 minutes, 38 seconds. The quickest tire-changer had a winning time of 2 minutes, 11 seconds, Shreffler said."
