How does a head stud know its in a race?

The use of good fasteners has nothing to do with racing.
A head stud knows it is in a race because it usually sees a rebuild in under a hundred hours where a street engine properly maintained can go well over a hundred thousand miles. The environment on the race track is completely different in terms of heat cycles, stress and just basically hitting redline between nearly every shift which is just not feasible on the street. Kinda like the way race brake pads can't even get into their engineered heat range on the street.
