What is the secret to stick shift drag racing? | “For me it’s all about a consistent launch that sets up the rest of the run for success. Hooking too hard, spinning, or bogging will set the rest of the run for failure. It’s all about the launch.” |
Notes | A2W Cooler is an Igloo Cooler in the Trunk (It works great!)
