This Time Drag Racing!
Manage episode 494619175 series 3658531
After dropping repeated hints about an upcoming Drag Racing episode in prior installments of Cold Start, This Time... Drag Racing! Todd chats with Sylas about this different world of motorsports -- contrasting the approaches, cars, and mindset of driving fast in a straight line on the drag strip, versus our more familar grounds of road course and oval racing. It's an eye-opener for Sylas, highlighting Todd's own experience as an NHRA Sportsman racer in the SuperComp class, and getting deeper into the procedures and culture of what motivates drag racers to stomp that loud pedal. If you think it's all just "hit the gas and go", you might want to give this a closer look and listen too.
Cold Start Hint: It's got 9+ liters / 598 cubic inches of displacement and more power than you need.
