How do they get a car to go straight for a 1/4 mile at a top speed of 107 mph?

Just watched a video of an R/C car (E-revo 2.0 6s) make a 1/4 mile pass at top speed of 107 mph. Obviously , the guy was not steering the car, at that speed. How do you set up a car to run perfectly straight for that distance?

That's Philip Jolley (@phildogg) and I know that he doesn't run a gyro, although some guys do. We speed runners turn our steering sensitivity way down as well as our endpoints, and then we practice driving! I've been up to 131mph myself and I do have to steer the car because my road isn't perfectly flat.
