Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 5: The Reality of "Drive Days" With NO Interstates (Denver to Kearney)

What happens here

The driver and co-driver make a stop at a Circle K gas station in a remote location to refuel with gas and purchase ice for their cooler. While there, the driver takes proactive measures to manage transmission temperature. He explains that during previous stop-and-go traffic in town, the transmission was overheating, prompting him to spray water directly onto the transmission cooler. He also mentions that at high altitudes, he often needs to keep his foot on the brakes to prevent the engine from stalling when idling.

Goal: Refuel the vehicle and manage transmission temperature
