In some tunes the tow/haul is set up diffrent for race. It will usually run the rpm up a lil higher and shift a lil more firm. As far as tail gate i leave mine on as i have a bed cover. Alot of guys take them off. It will shave some weight. And not have any drag. Some tracks frown on having them down unless u put a clamp on the passenger side hinge

This one just opened so they are pretty relaxed on what's running for the rest of this year. I'll try it without next time though.

I left my tailgate down at Texas Motorplex once and got the stink eye from one of the track guys. A couple of others just laughed and pointed at me. So I leave it up now to be socially acceptable there.
