What happens here

Upon arrival at the South Georgia Motorsports Park, the primary racing venue, prepare the car for drag racing. This includes adding more ethanol fuel to optimize the mix for performance and switching out and swapping different fuel tanks as needed. Additionally, reduce the tire pressure on all four tires from 30 PSI to 25 PSI to increase grip on the drag strip. The chains on the suspension, which provide stability during launch, are tightened further until they are snug.

Goal: Set up the vehicle for optimal drag strip performance

what we're going to try to do today we made it to south georgia motorsports park and we got all unloaded got more ethanol put in there because we were just running it on themes keep switching it out and get the percentage up we have a special message for john reed from across the pond you've got the brains of a bloody rocky nose yes what part of england are you from south of birmingham area called the black country huh yeah i've never been there we got here kind of late so we had to wait for the all run come up which they just called so we're about to go try and get in line now notice i say try because who knows we'll be able to so many people everywhere we're in the lanes now we lower the tire pressure we're in the lanes now lower the tire pressure from 30 to 25 all the way around tighten the chains more tighten them until they were tight up there and then you get up here and they kind of you know it untwists a little bit and there was a little bit of slack so i tighten it down again this time i'm gonna drive into the second bulb put in neutral rev it get some more break on it and actually build a little bit of boost before we launch because i think it's going to stick this time and we'll see if we can run a 9 with this controller off
