If you want to win the next race or maintain your winning streak, proper maintenance is the key for success. There are several tips that separate the winners from the rest of the pack that we want to pass onto you.
In order to keep repair costs low, proper maintenance is important. Race cars will face a lot of wear and tear during a race. Repair costs can be costly so finding a trustworthy mechanic that can do preventative maintenance or learning how to do simple maintenance on your own can help as well.
–The first step in maintenance is making sure that the car is clean, inside and out.
–Checking the nozzles for grime and buildup is important.
–Check the barrel valve to make sure the adjustment hasn’t changed.
