    Race Prep?

    when people say they Race Prep a truck or what not, what does that mean? What do they have to do to the truck to make it Race Prep?
    "on time, on target, never quit"
    "life is just like riding. stay pinned hold on and hope for the best"

    It means that they are getting the truck ready for the race. Doing little tweaks here and there, tightening everything, and basically just getting it ready for war

    you take the car apart and you put it back together every race. basically assuring you have a brand new car every time you roll up to the start line. there is no better feeling than knowing you can trust 100% of your car when you're bringin it.

    Depends on the budget, how far you went in the last race, and the length of the next race. Everything still comes apart and gets inspected and certain things do get replaced every race.

    To prep you need only one item... WD-40 !!!!!

    Re: Race Prep?

    shocks get rebuilt, trans, steering get rebuilt, serviced... axles and critical parts get magnafluxed, bodies get repainted, bearings/cv's repacked...everything gets cleaned and inspected.
    what ever it takes to make it near new to start the race..it's a lengthly process.
