What happens here
In a unique segment, Garry reveals a specialized modification for extreme racing conditions: ice racing. He describes the arduous process of preparing tires by manually installing approximately 1250 screws into each tire, a task that takes about five hours per tire. These "studded" tires provide an unprecedented level of traction on ice, enabling the truck to achieve impressive performance metrics: a 60-foot time of 1.59 seconds and a speed of 6.84 seconds at 106 MPH on ice. Garry proudly claims this makes his truck the "world's fastest street truck on ice," albeit unofficially. He notes that while initial traction is immense, controlling the truck at higher speeds becomes a "handful," akin to an all-over-the-place experience on a loose surface.
Goal: Prepare tires for maximum traction in extreme ice racing conditions.
