Chassis are set up for optimum handling with a small fuel load and no regard for tire wear. Oxygen-bearing nitromethane is added in large quantities to the alcohol fuel, producing increased power and decreased engine life. No car could hope to finish the race in this condition, and after a car has qualified, the crew reworks the chassis to provide a good compromise of tire wear...
