Other: acid dip your chassis, always drive dehydrated, only put the exact amount of gas you plan to burn in your tank, drill holes in everything

That's all I can think of right now, but that should be enough to get you started. If you need some more ideas when you're done with all this, send me a bottle of Stolichnaya, and I'll come up with all sorts of ingenious ideas.

Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. ACBC

well this started good but got crazy near the end lol. Lost me at "pee."

Correction: this started out good, then got better.

Glad you held on through fat and poop though. I appreciate it.

Yea I picked back up on "dehydrated" then laughed at "drill holes in everything," then struggled through the rest

If you remove the chassis it's hella fast.
