Speaker 1: transgender women from competing in women's sports. The new policy

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,040

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,680

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,360

Speaker 1: organizations like USA Swimming, USA Track and Field, USA Gymnastics

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: You're together in Sonoma for the Sonoma Nationals Race and

Speaker 1: VIP track side experience with the sport's top female stars.

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: So before we get to that event and this weekend,

111
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: I want to talk about how you both learned that

112
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you had the need for speed, because Leo, you actually

113
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: started at the age of eight, officially on the dot

114
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: on your eighth birthday, you joined the NHRA Junior's drag

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Racing youth racing program.

116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: So tell me how you got interested in it at

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: that young age.

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: Well, sure, and you'll find that Eda and I both

119
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: have a lot of similarities. We both started when we

120
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: were eight. My parents they were not in drag racing.

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: My father was a land speed racer at Bonneville. So

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: he had just an insatiable need for speed and however

123
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 4: fast he can make his car.

124
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: He had two girls.

125
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: He wanted two boys, but you know life, life happens

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 4: that way, and he wanted to do motorsports with them.

127
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: So the Junior Drag Racing League at that time you

128
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: could start when you were eight. Now you can start

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: as young as five years old, and families can go

130
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: out and run together and learn sportsmanship, learn mechanics of

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: the car. And so for me, I raced regionally in

132
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: southern California, then Division seven West Coast, and then nationally.

133
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: And as I'm going to a national event, you know

134
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: with a big dogs racing with got Eddie Hill, you

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: got John Forrest, and you're watching them rip over three

136
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour, and then they might be blowing up,

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: and then they go into the pits and you see

138
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: their crew members tear down and re build these engines.

139
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: And I was like the little leaguer watching the big leagues,

140
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: and I said, I want to do that. I can't

141
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: not become a professional race car driver. This is what

142
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: I've been doing as a kid. So I catered my

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: entire life, my education, my work ethic experience to getting

144
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: myself into a spot to represent some of the best

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: brands in the world that wanted to follow my dream

146
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: of being a world champion in funny car or top fueler,

147
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: whatever I could get my hands on and coming to it,

148
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: you know, as of lately in twenty twenty two, with

149
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: Tony Stewart creating TSR Nitro and Matt Hagan on the

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 4: Dodge side, and myself created a two car team with

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: Tony and we Field a Nitro funny car and a

153
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: in the seat at the moment. Yeah, did tear off

154

Speaker 4: really busy supporting figure.

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Well, I want to touch on that quick because you've

00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what any of these are, So can

161
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: you explain it to us, like we're five, how many

162
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: different kinds of NHR categories and cars are there?

163
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: And how different are they from each other?

164
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: I've done to a fantastic question, I believe there's just

165
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: about two dozen categories, and it depends on what series

166
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: you are. So this weekend as we're getting ready for

167
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: the NHR Mission Foods Drag Racing Series that is the

168
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: highest level to pinnacle, and you have four professional categories

169
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: Top Fuel, funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro stock Bike. Now

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: below that we have sportsman categories, and it's really it's

171
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: kind of like what flavor of ice cream do you like?

172
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: Do you like jocolate, vanilla, whatever? In drag racing, it's

173
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: what type of car, what type of speed, what type

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 4: of budget are you able to do? You know what

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: you what are you attracted to maybe that you've done

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: with your family. So for me stepping out of junior dragsters,

177
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: the best form of competitive racing that we could afford

178
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: was the Nostalgia series. And that's basically where you have

179
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: a nostalgia funny car where it's period correct, where the

180
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 4: engine placement, the single magneto, single fuel pump, all with

181
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: period body style correct to the seventies or early eighties.

182
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: That way you're not having you're not running at those

183
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: national events and speeds that take millions of dollars to run.

184
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: Got it and then into a pro mod which is

185
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: a it's really the world's fastest door car in the world.

186
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: It's suspension four link, very difficult to drive, very gnarly.

187
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: There's many racers out here that will drive anything but

188
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: a pro mod because they're scary and they're also awesome.

189
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: So's there's many different ways to go.

190
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: That happened to be my path.

191
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: And then what Da has come up through I would

192
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: not do, but I'll let her talk about that.

193
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: So Itda.

194
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you started in junior races when you were eight

195
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: years old as well. Your dad also played a big

196
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: role in this need for speed, So tell us about

197
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: your start.

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, very similar to Leah.

199
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 5: My childhood kind of was our own speed, you know,

200
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: being at the racetrack. My dad kind of worked with

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: different race team throughout my whole childhood, so I kind

202
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: of started being at the racetracks I was.

203
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: A few weeks old. Fell in love with the sport

204
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: very early. It's a very.

205
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: Family friendly sport, you know, not just for the teams

206
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: that are competing, but for the fans and the pits.

207
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: It's an open pitch.

208
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 5: You can actually come out, you can see the teams

209
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: work on the cars, you can talk to the drivers anything,

210
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 5: from the eight year old you knew drives to drivers

211
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 5: to the top fuel drivers that me and Lee are

212
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 5: doing today. So being there in the atmosphere of racing

213
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: caught me very early and it was something I knew

214
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: I wanted to be part of. And then obviously getting

215
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 5: into a race car when I was eight years old,

216
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: you love the feeling of speed. If you are like us,

217
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 5: you know that's addicting that feeling.

218
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: But then the more I raced and the better you

219
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: got at it.

220
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 5: It wasn't just the feeling of speed that kind of

221
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: dragged me into it and made me so hooked.

222
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: It was the.

223
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: Caroaderie, the team effort that it takes, but also being

224
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 5: the best at it, Like I wanted to win right now. Yeah,

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: we both go three hundred and thirty miles per hour plus,

226
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: but that is not what gives me adrenaline kicks. My

227
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: adrenaline kicks comes when that wind light come on by

228
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 5: the end of the track and you actually were able

229
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 5: to pull off the wins with your team. That is

230
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 5: like the highest of highs, and that's what we're chasing.

231
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: Going really fast and having those quick eties, that's part

232
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: of it, and that's something that's definitely on our list

233
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 5: of chases, but it's winning on Sunday that matters the most.

234
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 5: And I also went through different classes moving up. I

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: have not done traumad or nostalgia like Lea did, even

236
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: though I find them incredibly fascinating.

237
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: But just like she talked about the fact.

238
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: That you might not be able to afford the highest

239
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: class even though you wanted to.

240
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: I mean, you could watch videos of me being eight

241
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: years old.

242
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: Saying when I'm eighteen, I'm gonna run top fuel, and

243
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 5: then you make it to eighteen and you realize that

244
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: there's no way I can get into a car like that.

245
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: Right now. I don't have that funding, I don't have

246
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: that knowledge of how to get there.

247
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: So, just like Lea, I dedicated all my life to

248
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: finding a way to get to where I wanted to be.

249
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: And for me, a class that I could race was.

250
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: At the top level in Europe and one of the

251
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 5: fastest growing classes.

252
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: A really cool class with a good mix up the

253
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: build of the vehicle.

254
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 5: The team effort that goes into it, and the driver

255
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: was a class called super street bike. It is not

256
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: a class that is apparent in any tray. It's a

257
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: class that we raced over in Europe and it's also

258
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 5: in other drag racing series outside of any tray. But

259
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 5: it's basically seven hundred and fifty horsepower turbo sharched bikes

260
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: that we run on a normal street tire.

261
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: We don't have any really bar so we call them.

262
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 3: It kind of looks like those low.

263
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: Training whins almost behind them, but we don't really have that.

264
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: So that class is also just like promo very normally.

265
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: You know, you can have really high wheelies. They're really

266
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: hard to drive.

267
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: It takes a lot of skills and a lot of teamwork,

268
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 5: and it was a class that I loved personally racing

269
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: and you learned so much and for the price that

270
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: it took to race that class, it was such a

271
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: high level and I was able to win two championships

272
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: in that class before I had kind of worked my

273
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: way up and found the right partners and made myself

274
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 5: a name and.

275
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: A sport to the level where I could step.

276
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: It up and get my license for top fuel and

277
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 5: start you know, working at the growing my name in

278
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 5: that class and eventually making it to the pinnacle drag

279
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 5: racing which is NHRA, and where we're at right now,

280
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 5: you know.

281
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: I think you're both crazy, But I love it too.

282
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: I love meeting people that have this like drive and

283
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: intensity for something that I just can't imagine trying, especially

284
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: at that age.

285
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: It's so wild, Leah.

286
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: One of the cool things about NHR drag racing is

287
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: that men and women have been competing head to head

288
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: for decades, and women have thrived in the NHR ranks

289
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety six national wins.

290
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: Why is it such a natural co ed event.

291
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: I believe it's because where NHA started that the entire

292
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: premise of it is who has a vestor vehicle? We've

293
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 4: all done it, who's going to You're going to be

294
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 4: on a foot race? Be quicker, who's you know, tea buckets?

295
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 4: Who had the fastest one? So it's inherent for all

296
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: of us to have competition, and that does not you know,

297
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: the men, females, all of that is the same. But

298
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: early in the in the seventies, there were female racers

299
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: that they did punch through that ceiling and they did

300
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: take the big brunt of stereotypes and and then they

301
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: paved the way, so to speak, so that Eda and

302
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: I we could look at Melanie Troxel or Bunny Priquette.

303
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: Or Laurie John's and go, wow, they're doing it. Now.

304
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: We don't know the hardships that they've been through because

305
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: of the thirty year gap, but we knew that it

306
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: was possible, so they made it a little easier. We

307
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: still have some different types of challenges today, and we

308
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: also have different opportunities. But I would say drag racing

309
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: as a motorsport in general, especially in nature a is

310
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: male prevalent, but it's not male dominating. You know, the

311
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: fastest person in the world in drag racing is a female.

312
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: She's not just the fastest, and it doesn't happen to

313
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: be Eta or I on the call right now, Yeah,

314
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: one day we're very close. From a driver's perspective, the

315
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: car doesn't make a difference. But I do want to

316
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: point out what we do in order to make a

317
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: five hundred cubic inch engine running on up to ninety

318
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: percent nitromethane having twelve thousand horsepower.

319
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: You're asking for.

320
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: A recipe, a recipe of like extreme volatile destruction or

321
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: extreme speed. So what we do with our team and

322
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: our crew chiefs are the ones that really put in

323
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: the tune up and make sure that everything operates in

324
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: a healthy manner to have a good run. We call

325
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: it competitive problem solving. Yeah, what we do every week,

326
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: every week in track conditions. So when you look at

327
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: it that way, there's no difference between male or female

328
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: because we all are able to do it absolutely.

329
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Itta, what are some of the effects of a race

330
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: on your body when you're going that fast? What are

331
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: the sensations you feel during the race and after.

332
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it's a very good question, and it depends

333
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 5: from race weekend to race weekend. I mean some race

334
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 5: weekends might be easier on our body. You might have

335
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: had lower temperatures me that I mean, I'm from Sweden.

336
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: We have over short summer. We're not used to racing

337
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 5: in ninety five plus degrees and humidity, so stuff like

338
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: that takes an extra toll on my body. A lot

339
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: of people think that it's used a short amount of

340
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 5: time that you are in the car when you're racing,

341
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: you know, three point seven seconds, but that is not

342
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: what takes.

343
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: The biggest toll of you. Obviously.

344
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: Yes, we do have about seven g g forces on

345
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 5: as and when we do pull parachutes to slow down,

346
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 5: it's like about of negative six G. It's a big

347
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: variation there, and that is talking nothing happening during a round.

348
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: You can also have severe tire shake, for example, if

349
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 5: you have gotten to tune up a little bit wrong,

350
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 5: and that can really take a toll on you because

351
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 5: we don't have any suspension like you're doing a normal car.

352
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: Your tires are basically your suspension, and when the tires

353
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: starts flapping around like that, it goes straight into your

354
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 5: body and it kind of feels like it goes up,

355
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: you know, through your core and it can make you

356
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 5: get a really bad headache and you can feel it

357
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 5: in your body, get a.

358
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 3: You know, sore back or so on.

359
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: You can also have, you know, a big engine explosion

360
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 5: that can take a toll on your body because it

361
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: deaccelerates so quickly and you get a big like spike

362
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 5: of those G forces that go way beyond you, just

363
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 5: the seven G we talked about earlier, and you know

364
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 5: you can see maybe a spike up to twenty g's

365
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: in each direction. So stuff like that can really take

366
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 5: a toll on you. But it isn't just that. It's

367
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 5: also sitting strapped into the car before you run on

368
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: a normal rund, you might be getting strapped in you know,

369
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: ten fifteen minutes before you run, but then it might

370
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 5: be something happening on the track. There might be a

371
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: delay or something. You might end up sitting in the

372
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 5: car for forty five minutes. And it's very hard to

373
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: breath when you're actually sitting in that. Because since this

374
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 5: is such a kind of a flamable things can go sideway.

375
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 5: So we take all the precautions we can, and that

376
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: means that our safety gear we are you know, twenty

377
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: layers in and you have a helmet that has no ventilation.

378
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 5: We also have a helmet skirt that goes into our suit.

379
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: We also have you know, a base layer under or helmet.

380
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 5: We have so many layers to basically be able to

381
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 5: be on fire in case the worst scenario would happen.

382
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 5: But that means that it's not easy for us to

383
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 5: breed when we sit in that, and that means that

384
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 5: our body, you know, it gets very hot if it's

385
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: hot out. And then you add to that that you're

386
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 5: strapped in, and when you're strapped in, you basically get

387
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: strapped in so tight it's hard to make full you know,

388
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: big movements when you breed, so it's almost like you're

389
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 5: not using full long capacity.

390
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 6: And I mean both main LYA we work out a lot.

391
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: We want to be in.

392
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: Good shape to be able to do this out here,

393
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: and that means that stuff like this won't take as

394
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: big of a toll of you that it would if

395
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 5: you weren't being good shape. But then it comes to

396
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 5: the other part of it, and that is everything MAINLYA

397
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 5: does in between the runs that people don't think about.

398
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 5: Some drivers don't do everything on their car the same

399
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 5: way we do. Both me and Lea we mix our

400
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: on fuel fuel. I mean you know this better, Leah,

401
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 5: how much nitro waste. But nitro it's a heavy fuel.

402
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: It's so much heavier than water. So when you are

403
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 5: basically fueling your car two three times a day, and

404
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: every time you're fueling this car, it takes about fifteen

405
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: gallons of nitro and then very warm up it's another.

406
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 6: Five gallons of nitro. There's a lot of heavy lifting

407
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 6: in the pit and all of this is kind of

408
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 6: an unpleasant angle to hold. You know, these jugs where

409
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 6: you're lifting them up high, and you're doing this a

410
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: lot of the same movements all the time. You can't

411
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 6: really change and do you know, half to the right,

412
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: half to the left, those things take a bigger toll

413
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 6: on your body, in my opinion than the actual three

414
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 6: point seven seconds that you're in the car.

415
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would.

416
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: I'd like to add to that ita from a mental

417
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: standpoint again, where yes, the times from starting line to

418
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: finish line three point six three point seven seconds, three

419
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five miles an hour from the time

420
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: start up the car to we make the turnoff is

421
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: about two and a half minutes. So we strive to

422
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: be perfect within our race car. There's a lot of

423
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: things we could do to mess it up, but we

424
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: actually can't make it go any quicker than it's set

425
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 4: up to do. But the mentality that we have to have,

426
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: whether we are freezing and it's forty eight degrees outside,

427
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 4: or it's one hundred and two at ninety eight percent

428
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: humidity at one hundred and forty grains and you're absolutely sweating,

429
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: you still need to have reaction times that are the

430
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: quickest in the world. That you are focused on the

431
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: stage bulb, you are focused on what your car is

432
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 4: doing that you hit that light. Because we could have

433
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: a slower car, but if you are a quicker reacting driver,

434
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: you can win that race. And for me, I'm an

435
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: intense person. I know Eda is as well, and we

436
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: thrive on that adrenaline. And you make a run. Okay,

437
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 4: you won that round, You go, you service the car,

438
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: and you keep that hype up. But then there might

439
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 4: be a delay in the day by half an hour,

440
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: forty five minutes, and now your peak adrenaline is coming

441
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: back down, but you know in another forty five minutes

442
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 4: it needs to come back up. So I think over

443
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 4: time we all have learned ourselves and how do we

444
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 4: just stay up there all day? And that's great, That's

445
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: what I like to do. But I cut on Monday.

446
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: I'm on trash. Yeah, I'm austin mentally and physically from

447
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: a day and those that's what I want is Monday

448
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: that I went. I gave it everything I had for

449
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 4: twelve fourteen hours straight and we're gonna enjoy that trophy hopefully.

450
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: Okay, I have some follow ups really quick. So seven

451
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: G fours basically means that it feels like seven times

452
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: your body weight is pushing on you.

453
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: That is correct.

454
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: So at the hit of the throttle we're at zero

455
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 4: G forces, you're at a standstill, and you accelerate very quickly,

456
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: almost instantaneously, to four four and a half geese and

457
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: the car continues to accelerate. So for the next two

458
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 4: to three hundred feet you have this rate that you're going,

459
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 4: depending on how great the run is. But to five,

460
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: five and a half, six, six and a half gees seven.

461
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: I bet there are there's cars out there just reaching seven.

462
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: And this is within two and a half seconds from

463
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: the time that you hit. So you've got four to

464
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: four and a half and it continued like this linebacker

465
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: is shoving you back. But you're prepared for it. And

466
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: I think that's an important key. You're prepared for it.

467
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: Now about half track, once the clutch and the RPM

468
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 4: have met together and they have the same and they're

469
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: basically we call it almost welding. Then you taper off

470
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 4: and you're only pulling about two g's. You're still accelerating speed,

471
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 4: but you're not having those same g forces. You get

472
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 4: to the finish line, you're going three hundred and thirty

473
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 4: five miles an hour, you have those g's. You take

474
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: your hand off the steering wheel, you throw the parachutes,

475
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 4: you come out of the come out of the throttle,

476
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 4: hit the fuel, and you turn your switches off, all

477
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: within about a half of a second. While you're de

478
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: selling in, your body has been thrown forward and your

479
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 4: eyes almost try and meet the windshield.

480
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: Inside the car.

481
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: So the exhilarating rush is amazing, but you have to

482
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 4: be prepared for it.

483
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: And Leah, how come some competitors don't mix their own

484
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: fuel and some do? And what does it mean to

485
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: mix your own fuel?

486
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 4: We both came from teams that did not have enough personnel,

487
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: and we drove the rigs, we washed the rigs, we

488
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 4: service the car, mixed in the fuel and as you

489
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: go into higher stages in the cat in the series,

490
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: there's enough people budgets and they go, it's okay, just

491
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: just drive the race car. Well, that's not what we

492
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: have been grown up doing, and we like to be

493
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 4: involved in knowing what number it needs to be and

494
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 4: how to cut that nightro with methanol. We have beakers

495
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 4: and hydrometers and we love the science of it. We

496
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 4: continue to do that, especially when the team they need

497
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 4: extra hands on the car, because not every time that

498
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 4: it just goes down the track, is it nice? And

499
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 4: you drain the fuel and you change the heads and

500
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: some you know, the clutch pack. There are sometimes when

501
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: the entire engine is demolished and you know, waters have

502
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: been burned from the car and it needs extra attention.

503
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: So we're able to pick up on places that we

504
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: can to help make sure we make that turnaround in

505
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: time for the next And for TV and other drivers, A,

506
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: they just never did it. B they have a different

507
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 4: work ethic.

508
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: Not sure, we'll have to ask them.

509
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: But men are such divas they don't want to do

510
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: their instance, you know, and I get it.

511
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 3: I'd say I don't want to take away.

512
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: There's definitely many men that do, and many men that

513
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: are in tune with the car. I would say about

514
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: half of our competitors are very intelligent and physically work

515
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 4: hard and get their fingers dirty, and then there's probably

516
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: another half of the field that maybe can't spell top fuel.

517
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: On Itita, I want to ask you about the training

518
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: that you do, whether it's video games or simulations. You

519
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: talk about how much goes into the racing that we

520
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: never see.

521
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: What does it look like to get ready to go

522
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: that fast?

523
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: And how do you practice for this maybe earlier in

524
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: your career or even what you still do now to

525
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: stay sharp.

526
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 5: I think it's probably a personal preference for many drivers

527
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: what they like to do. Some ve they like to run.

528
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 5: Some drivers, you know, they like to go hit the gym.

529
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 5: Some drivers they really play a lot of video games.

530
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 5: I've never been a big video gamer, so that was

531
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 5: not Maybe I should have been, because I've heard it's

532
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 5: a you know, good thing to do when I really

533
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 5: shore op reaction times. But for me, part of it

534
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: has been to be in good shape, like that's what

535
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 5: I feel like. You know, when we talked about G

536
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 5: forces and everything, Leah mentioned it is not just G

537
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: forces on your shift, that is also G forces underneath

538
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 5: your right you know leg that are trying to push

539
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: your leg off that pedal and you basically need to

540
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: keep it pinned because that is also an issue. You know,

541
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 5: if you start coming off the trottle. That is not

542
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 5: what these cars are set up to do. They're set

543
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 5: up to be run hard and be run on full

544
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 5: trottle and slam that pedal. So that is an important

545
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: part for me being strong out here, feel like I'm

546
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 5: always in control of the car, working on the card

547
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 5: your side. Just to be able to feel like even

548
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 5: though it is ninety five and humid out. I can

549
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 5: work in these conditions when it comes to reaction time,

550
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 5: and I have several things I do. I have actually

551
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 5: done a reaction time program over the of the winter

552
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 5: over in Indy. Not something that is, you know, specifically

553
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 5: done for drag racing, but just in overall working with

554
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 5: your eye and your mind. A lot of it is

555
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: you know, what can you take in in your peripheral

556
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 5: vision and kind of widening your peripheral.

557
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: Vision at the same time.

558
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: Maybe you know you're looking at your tree, but you

559
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 5: can also be able to see what's happening when you're

560
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: staging and also not letting it mess you up, because

561
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: that is one part of it that Leah touched on too,

562
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: like the mental side of it and how much that

563
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: goes into it, how much it drains you. And I

564
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 5: feel like that is also part of like why we

565
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 5: work out to kind of clear our mind, kind of be.

566
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 3: Ready for what's to come for this weekend.

567
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: We also have reaction time, like I practice tree Basically,

568
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 5: I have.

569
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 6: Something set up in one of my cars that I

570
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 6: can sit in in the shop.

571
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 5: I have one at home. I have a small one

572
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 5: I can have with me on the plane. Everything you

573
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 5: do there is basically you look at it. We call

574
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: it a Christmas tree, like that's what we start at.

575
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 5: So this is all Christmas trees in different sizes versions.

576
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 5: And what you do is, you know, when you see

577
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 5: that yellow bulb, come on because many people think we

578
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: leave on green, but if it's green, then we should

579
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 5: have already.

580
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 2: Left the Christmas tree.

581
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: For those who are wondering, is basically this electronic starter

582
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: system that is a pole with different colored lights on it,

583
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: and you're looking for the light that says go essentially yellow,

584
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: like you said, so that by the time it gets

585
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: to green, you're already hitting that throttle and on your waist.

586
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: So you have practice versions of that or simulations of

587
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: that that you can practice.

588
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 5: It absolutely and on that we can see it exactly

589
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: what our reaction time is. And with that you can

590
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 5: also start you know, dabbling and trying different things. I

591
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: know when I started in top few and I went

592
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 5: from racing a bike and you know, reacting with my

593
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 5: hand dropping the clutch and you know, doing that, and

594
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden going into the top few,

595
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 5: I could start seeing you know, does it make a

596
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 5: difference if I do this right off? I've done a workout.

597
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: Does it make a difference if I take a power

598
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 5: net before? Does it make a difference if I have

599
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 5: a coffee before? You know, all of those things that

600
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: we don't have the chance to try when we're at

601
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: the track because these cars, it's not like we can

602
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: just roll them out and have all these test sessions

603
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: whenever we want.

604
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: We basically learn and test when we're.

605
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 5: At the track and racing and have you know, millions

606
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 5: of people watching us what we do and see exactly

607
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 5: how our reaction time is and how our run was.

608
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 5: So we do everything we can to prepare beforehand so

609
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 5: that we can actually do our very very best when

610
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 5: we get out there.

611
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: Lea, we were talking about g forces and appropriately one

612
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: of the best NHR racers is Britney Force, named perfectly

613
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: for the event, had the fastest run in NHR history

614
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: earlier this week three hundred and forty one point eighty

615
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: five miles per hour in the quarter mile. You've got

616
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: a best I think of three thirty four fifteen ida

617
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: in the three thirties as well.

618
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: So new goal to hit for you, Leah.

619
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Do you see that from Britney Force and think like, okay,

620
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: that's the thing I'm putting out there for myself when

621
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: I come back.

622
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: So I want to say congratulations to her and her

623
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 4: team and being able to accomplish that not just once

624
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 4: but multiple times. But I have to say, in our sport,

625
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: it is the lapse time that wins the race. Yeah,

626
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: So for those that go to a drag race, you'll

627
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: see a scoreboard at the end of the track, one

628
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: for the left lane, one for the right. Usually the

629
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: top numbers the lapse time that the car ran time

630
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 4: for A to B and then the bottom number would

631
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: be the mile an hour.

632
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: Could be three twenty two, three eighteen, could be two

633
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: fifty six, it could be three forty one.

634
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: That's just the number for the speed trap that that's

635
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: not the dictator of the race, so to speak. So

636
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: would it be great to go that fast. I would

637
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: love to know what that feels like. Absolutely, But my

638
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: focus is definitely more on getting car speed. And when

639
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: I say as a whole, whether it's I'm driving Tony's Matt,

640
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: we work as a group together for how our dynamics work.

641
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 4: So basically, you cannot have fast top end speed without

642
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: having early car speed because they have to. It's like

643
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: a relay race of tuning mechanisms after each other, and

644
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 4: they need to connect properly. Those those dominoes of tuning

645
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 4: have to connect in order for that top speed to

646
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 4: get there.

647
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: You know.

648
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 4: Doug Coletta last week in Seattle ran a three sixty

649
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: two eight to time for the world's quickest elapse time. Now,

650
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if he went three forty or three

651
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: forty one. He also went very fast, but the lapse

652
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 4: time is what is what we're after.

653
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: Got it.

654
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 4: My quickest time was three sixty three and I held

655
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: that record for three years and then Brittany.

656
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 3: Had broke it.

657
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: And that is what we're focusing on, is more of

658
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 4: the front end versus the back end, because it almost

659
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: equals the same thing.

660
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: Totally makes sense.

661
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: It's the win, not how you got the win, and

662
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: how you get it is both the speed and like

663
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the reaction and how you start everything else ITDA. I

664
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about the trust part of it, because

665
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: both of you have talked about it's a team.

666
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: You need the car to be tuned just.

667
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Perfectly, you need the fuel to be mixed right, you

668
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: need everything to work perfectly so that when you get

669
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: in the car and you hit the throttle, you trust

670
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: that your team has set you up not just to win,

671
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: but to be safe. Ye did it take a while

672
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: to get there? And how young were you when you

673
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: had to be taught to understand how important every detail

674
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: it was and how important it was to have the

675
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: right team around you.

676
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a great question, the importance of having a

677
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 5: great team around me. I feel like I understood that

678
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: at an early age, not from being told so, but

679
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 5: you see it, you feel it when you're in the pit.

680
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: You know, the greatest teams are usually the teams that

681
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 5: you see performing the highest at the track, and it

682
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 5: doesn't matter that they had the best tuner or the

683
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 5: best driver or the most money. It's when it all

684
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 5: comes together as a team and you're able to perform

685
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 5: with the right people, the right pieces, everything coming together,

686
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 5: and you can see that on track. So I've actually

687
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: never struggled with trusting my team. And it's funny when

688
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: someone mentioned that, because I've had times. You know, when

689
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 5: I came over here to America, I didn't know anybody

690
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: that I worked with. That was the first time I

691
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: was introduced to, you know, my cru chief, the guy

692
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 5: that was strapping me into the.

693
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: Car when we went my first test sessions.

694
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 6: The guys that worked on the engine, the guys that

695
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 6: did everything, they never questioned me being.

696
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: A good fit for driving the car or you know,

697
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 5: me being able to mix the fuel when I They

698
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 5: knew what I could do from what I had seen,

699
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 5: what I could do and what I told him I do,

700
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: And it was the.

701
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 3: Same the other way around.

702
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: I trust them with my life literally, you know, getting

703
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: into the car, and I just feel like there's nobody

704
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 5: that's out here on this level that doesn't take it

705
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 5: seriously and doesn't know how much that goes into it.

706
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: And everybody wants the same thing, and that's the win.

707
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 5: Everybody wants to be the best out here, and everybody

708
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 5: knows how important that is.

709
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: You can't be slacking on the job out here, no

710
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: matter if you're a driver or a cruise chief or

711
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: a crew.

712
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: Right, it's life and death.

713
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely, It is not about just about you know, those

714
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 5: thousands on track. It is what can go go wrong

715
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 5: in these situations. And I do think that everybody really

716
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 5: understands that and have that you know, understanding of what

717
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 5: we can do together and the stripe to go there.

718
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: And when I raced with the bike for example.

719
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: I mean I had a family around me when we

720
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: raised but we also had like our tuner for example,

721
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 5: I never met him before. We found him online because

722
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 5: he was good at what he did. He came out

723
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: and he helped us, and he was so incredibly great

724
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 5: at what he did. He was such a big part

725
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: of how we came, you know, found the success we

726
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 5: did in that class. And then it's about working together

727
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 5: because if everybody, even though everybody is the best at

728
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: their particular job, if you're not working together, you don't

729
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: have that communication that you need and that trust, you

730
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 5: won't get there. Like with the cru chief driver relationship,

731
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: it's very important to be able to understand each other,

732
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 5: trust each other, and communicate because the first thing you

733
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: do when you get back you give feedback of how

734
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 5: stuff felt, if there was anything that's differently, you know,

735
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 5: if you felt something on the track those differently. When

736
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 5: I raced the bike, we weren't as relying on like

737
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 5: sensors for different data points as we are in the

738
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 5: top field car, so then it was me and my feelings.

739
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: I kind of had to explain. I could come in

740
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 3: and I could.

741
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 5: Say, hey, it didn't reely and you know, carry the

742
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 5: front end as much as we wanted it to do

743
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: in fourth gear, give it more boost we can add

744
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 5: it there, or tell them that, hey, I could barely

745
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 5: get it in second gear. It was way too high up.

746
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 5: We gotta calm it down in the start and I

747
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 5: could do that. Or hey, can we lower the RPMs

748
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: for when we shift the gears because I couldn't do

749
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 5: it fast enough.

750
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: I need a little more time to see it. All

751
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: of those things were.

752
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 5: A driver cruise sheaf or like a driver tuner communication.

753
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 5: And if you don't have that, and you don't you know,

754
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 5: rely on that part, it's gonna take you so much

755
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: longer to get to where you are. And it's the

756
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 5: same with the crew guys. Yeah, amall thing they see

757
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: when they're assembling something that they raise awareness and talk

758
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 5: to a cruise sheef for, talk to car shechief someone

759
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: around them, because that might be a parts male function.

760
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 5: It might be something that you know, you got to

761
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 5: look at it. It's not like you know when you're

762
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 5: building Ikea furnitures and you can have that kind of.

763
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have extra screw. Every little detail is so important.

764
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: We're running out of time.

765
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: Here. I have a couple last questions for you, Leah.

766
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,959
Speaker 1: I know you're on a break from the track after

767
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: having your first son, Dom with your husband Tony. How

768
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: has it been being out of the car, Because I

769
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: was reading your bio, you are literally married to the game.

770
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Your first husband was an off road racer and a

771
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: Monster Jam truck driver, your second was a crew member.

772
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Now Tony Stewart a legend of racing. You are literally

773
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: so tied to racing as both a competitor and the

774
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: rest of your life. So has it been a nice

775
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: escape from that to have this break and focus on

776
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: being a mom or you just like itching watching him

777
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: race instead of you.

778
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: Well, there's there's been a lot of positives that have

779
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: come out of it, and of course I know that

780
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: I have just an incredible need for speed and the

781
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: competition side. I'll touch on the motherhood part real quick.

782
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 4: I didn't have any expectations coming in. I think I

783
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: held one baby ever in my life, so.

784
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 3: Didn't know how they worked.

785
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 4: And when I it was a very difficult decision to

786
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 4: make to step out of the seat.

787
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 3: For that, I'm very happy that I did.

788
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 4: And the second difficult decision was staying out of the

789
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 4: seat this second year with a newborn in breastfeeding and

790
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 4: I'm eight months and continuing to breastfeed, and what the

791
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: dynamics look like at the track. But I knew that

792
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 4: being out of this seat that I might have an

793
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 4: identity crisis complex. How am I going to deal with that?

794
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: So I took courses at MIT for decision making machine

795
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: learning and have been working with Converge Technology Solutions on

796
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: some programs for our team to help our performance optimize tuning.

797
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 4: So I worked very closely with the team as well

798
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 4: as our partnerships Alliance. I live, travel, work, race, have

799
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 4: fun with my husband day and day out. So I

800
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 4: don't feel that I'm missing Really, I don't feel like

801
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: there's this wild void because I'm so ingrained in it.

802
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: Uh And I think, just like anything, if you're.

803
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 4: A player and you're injured and you're on you're on

804
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: court side, you see the game and in a whole

805
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: new way, you're able to pick out point out improvements

806
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 4: for yourself for others. And that's how I feel. I'm

807
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 4: eager to get back in the car. I did test

808
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago and it went very well.

809
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 4: You know, my button my eyes. They were all connected

810
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 4: and felt felt the tire shake, smoke everything else and

811
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: it was disgustingly hot.

812
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: So that was a good way to get back in.

813
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, I I guess married to the game all

814
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 4: the way and we're fully invested.

815
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 3: You know, this drag racing is my life.

816
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 4: I'm very unfortunate that Tony, after his you know, retirement

817
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 4: from cup, continued to race sprint cars, went and raced

818
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 4: alcohol dragsters, prepared for top fuel when the opportunity came,

819
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 4: and we're planning people, you know, we just because of

820
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 4: the race, are faster. You don't make fast decisions and

821
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 4: that's part of you know, as you guys will see

822
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 4: probably in the near future, what the next decision will be.

823
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, nice tease, Okay, before we go, I want

824
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: to do a speed round of fun NHR terms again.

825
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: Act like you're talking to a five year old here

826
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: and quickly, Leah, what does bang the blower mean?

827
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 4: That means that the supercharger, which is the powerhouse of

828
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: shlving fuel into the engine, it has had too much

829
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 4: pressure and the burst panels have come out or you've

830
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: actually exploded imploded the blower case right there. So it's

831
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: a violent term and you feel it from inside the

832
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 4: race car because that percussion goes.

833
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 2: Okay it it What is a whole shot win?

834
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: Good question? So whole should win is?

835
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 5: You know when Leah talked before about if you start

836
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 5: before the other person, you can actually win even though

837
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: they were faster. That is basically what it means. You

838
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 5: left the starting line before the other person, you can

839
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: be able to make up on time by the end.

840
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 5: So even though the other person you ran next to

841
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 5: had a quicker lapse time, you still got the wind

842
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: light to turn on in your lane because you ultimately

843
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 5: came there first, like you crossed the finish lane first.

844
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: Okay, that's when we as drivers love Leah.

845
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: Wheelie bars.

846
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 4: So wheellybars are They could be steel, titanium, aluminum rods

847
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 4: two three four pieces that come and they meet a

848
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 4: small wheel behind the race car. They're attached to the

849
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 4: frame or attached to the rear end housing that as

850
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: the car launches because there's a car, but there's so

851
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: much torque, it makes the car bike want to go

852
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 4: like this go off. So you have these long frames

853
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 4: so to speak, in the back that do not pivot.

854
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 3: They they keep.

855
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 4: The front end up over here from going sky high.

856
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 4: They're used in two really two main ways.

857
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: One to keep the.

858
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 4: Vehicle from tw being back all the way over and

859
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 4: then two it's actually a tuning mechanism for uh skin

860
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 4: box hitting the track and whatnot tires. But yes, it's

861
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: the long skinny things that are behind the vehicle.

862
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, da lip sync for your life. Oh, I'm sorry,

863
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: that's actually from RuPaul's drag race. That is a totally

864
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: different thing.

865
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: You don't do that one.

866
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, last question for both of you. We've

867
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: got the Sonoma Nationals event this week. Leah, you're gonna

868
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: watch Tony compete. Itta, what's the goal for you?

869
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 5: Well, it looks like water conditions are going to be

870
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 5: really great out here. I heard, you know, people talking

871
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: about it's gonna be a little colder out here.

872
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 3: We love that.

873
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 5: The cars love that, and not to speak about like

874
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 5: the naturally aspirated cars out here, They absolutely love that.

875
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 5: But anyhow, that's a good way to start the weekend

876
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 5: for us, and to be able to find a baseline

877
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 5: and push on that. We want to get some personal

878
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 5: records come in. We really want to break into that

879
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 5: three point six seconds, So on that we have not

880
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: been since we started, so that is definitely a goal

881
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 5: we keep working on. But ultimately we want to keep

882
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 5: qualifying higher. You know, when you qualify higher on before

883
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: you come into race, data ultimately sets you up in

884
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 5: a better way. And it's something that we keep working towards.

885
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 5: And then the biggest goal of all is to go

886
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 5: as many rounds as possible on Sunday. That is exactly

887
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 5: what we're going to try it to do.

888
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: And Leah, what do you want to make sure people

889
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: take away from the summit that you speak at.

890
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 4: Well, I would love for them, if they're able to

891
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 4: go to the race, for them to understand exactly what

892
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: these vehicles do and what the experience is like. So

893
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 4: the summit, I would like will use all the words

894
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,479
Speaker 4: that it's exhilarating, and you feel it in your heart

895
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 4: and in your ear lobes and in your toenails, and

896
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 4: you smell the nightro it makes your eyes water.

897
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 3: You can say all the things.

898
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 4: So I hope that they take away from the summit

899
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 4: that wow, you know, that is an experience that myself,

900
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: my partner, my my husband, my kids, even my young toddlers.

901
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 4: It's all an experience that they can enjoy safely, and

902
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 4: you can go one too or all three days, and

903
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 4: then I also would like them to take away if

904
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 4: they can't go to the race, that we are on

905
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 4: Fox Sports and Fox Sports One, and there's many places

906
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 4: to watch us. And we give we as in an

907
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 4: entire series, give a lot of great content that I

908
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 4: think is very relatable.

909
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 2: I agreed, I love it well.

910
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm excited for y'all to kick off this partnership with
