There are videos out there that talk about how to drive a drag race car but there has never been a more in-depth video made about making a run in a supercharged pro mod than this one. Literally every step from what buttons and and knobs he is pushing as the car starts to the philosophy involved in his burnout technique to how he gets the car down the track and what decisions he is making there. We appreciate the amount of time this video took to make because it had to have been a few hours to get what they needed for this half hours cut down. Every inch of it is good.
Videos like this add depth to the sport of drag racing that it sorely needs. When things in a sport happen over a short span of time and we don’t just need the run itself but we mean the whole process of making the run, they seem simple. There is nothing simple about this and when you actually get the information that Stevie is relaying you’ll understand how easy it is for a driver, especially a new one, to make even a small error that would cause a run to be aborted.
Perhaps the most fascinating part is the interpersonal relationships that Jackson talks about among the crew guys and the driver. How their tone of voice and attitude can mean the difference between success or failure.
Simply put, this is an education you’ll not get anywhere else.
THis step by step is a great behind the scenes story. There is SO much more to racing than what you see from the stands.
Very cool and instructive vid, thanks for showing us how it is done!!!!!
