Race Prep in Marietta GA – Be Safe & Competitive on Track
Track driving places extreme stress on your vehicle. Brake temperatures can exceed 1000°F, tires endure lateral loads, and suspension components flex. Race prep ensures your car is safe, reliable, and performs at its peak. Skipping proper preparation is dangerous and costly.
At 875 Performance, we provide comprehensive race preparation services using track-proven components and procedures. We install safety equipment, upgrade brakes, flush high-temp fluids, perform corner balancing, and set track alignments. Pair your race prep with our performance handling and ECU tuning services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Race Prep in Marietta GA
What is race prep and what does it include?
Race prep involves preparing your vehicle for track use by upgrading safety equipment, improving brake cooling, installing high-temperature fluids, performing corner balancing, and setting track-specific alignment. It ensures your car is safe and performs optimally on the track.
Do I need a roll cage for track days?
Many track organizations require a roll bar or roll cage for certain classes or when using racing harnesses. We can install a custom bolt-in or weld-in roll cage to meet safety requirements and stiffen your chassis.
Will race prep void my vehicle warranty?
Modifications for race use may affect your factory warranty on certain components. However, components we install carry their own manufacturer warranties. We can discuss which modifications may impact your vehicle’s warranty.
How often should I get a pre-track tech inspection?
You should have a pre-track tech inspection before every track event. We check brake pads, fluid condition, wheel torque, suspension components, and safety equipment to ensure your car is safe for high-speed driving.
What fluids do you recommend for track use?
We recommend high-temperature brake fluid (DOT 4 or higher), racing engine oil with high shear resistance, and upgraded transmission and differential fluids. We can flush and fill all systems with track-proven fluids.
