In this episode, NHRA legend Ron Capps sits down with us to talk about the insane world of drag racing - from the first time he hit 300 MPH to the mental and physical toll of competing at the highest level. He shares what separates the greats from the rest and how he prepares his family for the risks of racing!

Ron also tells the story of his infamous engine explosion at the 2014 Winter nationals - and just three days after filming this, his engine exploded again. Did we curse him?

He talks about how he first got into racing, the people who inspired him, and how his brother ended up as a Hollywood stunt driver. He breaks down the superstitions and pre-race rituals that keep him locked in, along with the sacrifices and dangers that come with life on the track!
