I didn't know that the higher the pressure, the faster you can go, but I did look up "tire pressure for land speed record" when I got home, and sure enough, 50-70 psi is common for going really fast.

In addition, if the barrier cones represent a course limit or perimeter, and the incident involves all four wheels of the car exceeding the boundary of the course, it needs to be called in as a "DNF."
