Make sure he leaves the cash at the starting line because that's one trip he won't come back from. I'm guessing he went and calculated his top speed with this formula and now thinks he can achive it no matter what.

(Tire radius devided by 168 times engin RPM devided by gear ratio)

example: mph at 6500 rpm with 4.9 axle with 14 inch radius tire in 4th gear 1:1 ratio MPH= 14/168x6500/4.90/1=111 mph
