Default How to recover after a race?

Say you went to the track or you got into a few races or something. Whats the best way to keep your car running good after you beat on it like that?

You should have your car in tip-top condition if taking it to the track already!

Id say just keep up on all the basic maintenance like the fluids,brake pads etc.

Make sure that there's enough alcohol to celebrate whippin everyone's ass when you're done. And make sure nothing's overheating or fluids are low.

Proper maintenance is the way to go. Check all fluids, pop your hood let everything cool. Then, pop a brew, and contemplate how you can do better next time.

If it doesn't break, dont fuck with it! I ran a car track and street and did no special prep before or after and I always ran fine. If you aren't racing it, drive it like miss daisy is in the back seat. If you're racing it, beat the fuck out of it like a rental! Always respect the power your car has and your surroundings and you'll be fine.

if I beat my car like it was a rental I would already need: new clutch, transmission, and tires for sure. YOu have no idea hat everyon ein my family does to rental cars. My uncle went from 2nd back to 1st in a focus rental and it revved insanely high. Then hit speed bumps at 50mph.
