WINNING RACES - FIRST, you need a great truck. It needs to hold
together throughout the race day AND it needs to be set up for the track. It's the little
details that separate winners from losers. Additionally, you need to learn
to DRIVE, but if you're truck isn't set up properly, then the best driver in
the world can't win with it.
