What happens here

The driver explains that the previous run had issues with the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal affecting the trans brake. For this "Round Two," he plans to build vacuum assistance by putting the car in neutral, revving, and then engaging drive. After the launch, white smoke and fluid are seen coming from the rear of the Escalade, signaling a major failure. Inside the cabin, the Draggy displays incorrect or incomplete data, and the driver immediately states, "We're going to go home now. Broke something."

Goal: Retest the launch after modifying technique, leading to the car's mechanical breakdown.
