Trackside tweaks
The teams will race their scrap sleds individually along a 300-metre stretch of railway track, competing for the fastest time. But before the race begins, the teams make last-minute alterations to their machines. The Aquarium Crew fix safety bars onto their sled and the Brum Brums update their water feed pipes and add breaks.
