Hi Twin Turbo. It's hard to understand Blitz's rants (as you're learning), but here's the situation: he's absolutely allowed to put new tires on his car; old ones aren't safe. But the bet is for the same equipment and he's not allowed to put a new *and different* set of tires on his car that will make it go faster. If folks want to understand how Blitz makes money as a VC when he's so obviously insane, the answer is simple: his dad does the work.

Incidentally, I tried my launch control for the first time (and made Blitz listen over the phone). It's pretty amazing. I screwed it up by not flooring the car. But honestly, I just wait for it to get to 9k rpms and pull a lever. 21% of the people in the survey are betting on Blitz winning because I screw up and I have literally no idea how I'm supposed to do that. I'll run a bunch of practices to make sure I don't get scared, but the car drives itself. Sorry.
