00:00Ever seen a racetrack so sticky it rips your shoes apart just walking on it?
00:04And you're wondering, won't race car tires get stuck too?
00:08This is called a prepped track, a high-grip surface specifically designed for drag racing.
00:14That extreme stickiness is exactly what these cars need.
00:18Drag racing engines produce power far beyond any regular car.
00:23Without enough grip, the front end lifts off the ground instantly.
00:26But on this sticky surface, tires bite down hard, transferring almost all engine power directly to the track instead of
00:34becoming a cloud of tire smoke.
00:36When the car launches at full power, tires actually pull thin strings of rubber from the surface.
00:42From a distance, it looks like the tires are glued to the ground.
00:46That's exactly how 1,000-plus horsepower cars put all that power down and hit incredible speeds in just seconds.
00:53But this surface has a limited lifespan.
00:57After each race, massive amounts of rubber get deposited by the tires.
01:02Once racing ends, crews come in with flame equipment and specialized tools,
01:07scraping away the old rubber layer completely,
01:10then applying fresh compound to restore the surface for the next race.
