It's torque wrench with possibly a larger nut (for nuts and bolts ) as the circle-shaped thing on the pin.

Torgue wrenches are used to "properly" tighten nuts and bolts.

Here's link to see info and the first picture on the right should be the match for this pin:

Sometimes I might amaze you with what little bits I know...  ;)  :lolg:

Does VFK update the 'race time' list on their main page often?

Ah...memories of torque wrenches.  I know what they are and have used them.  I'm guessing the hexagon shape is for extracting spark plugs.  Any engine mechanics out there?   :??:

Good eye, btw Fun!  How much do you charge for an oil change and lube?  :P

In regards to your list update question:  what a huge joke.  They still haven't updated/finalized the races from Sunday and Monday yet!  Many help reports about that.  Sigh...

Worse, the races are so close...many within thousands of a second of the next...and there's no way to see those times after completing a lap.  It just rounds off to the nearest second!  So there's no way of knowing if you're closer to...say...29 seconds or 30.  It could make all the difference between being first, and not making the list at all!  We REALLY need those precise times when we complete our laps.  End of rant.
