The engines roar and, and the cars are fast. I really enjoy watching sprint cars. One time my family took a trip to Brandon, South Dakota to watch them at Husets Speedway. It was really loud because there was over 50 cars running at once. Husets is a famous track and people come from all over to watch. The track is only three-eighths of a mile and the cars are going at least 100 miles per hour. People watch the crashes and cheer because there least favorite driver is out of the race and of course is ok. Sometimes I feel bad for those who crash cause they have to spend money to fix their car. Some times my favorite crashes are the roll overs, sometimes seeing wrecked cars is one of the best things. The sprint cars body is very complicated the
The cars also have safety features. If the car happens to be turned around backwards flaps come up to slow the car down. Not only do they slow the car down but the generate down force to keep the car on the road. Along with the Roof Flaps the car also have a Roof Hatch. The roof hatch is used to make a quick roof escape from the car. It goes to show that Nascar has thought of everything.
Introduction: How it all started from the beginning. The late 1900’s muscle cars and the great spike in 1900 muscle cars.
They're fast, too -- on a 65.5-foot (20-meter) track, the cars can cross the finish line in just over a second, traveling at nearly 70 miles per hour (112.7 kilometers per hour)! But even with something to create motion, aerodynamics and weight still make a huge difference.” In order to test and race your dragster car you would need a finish line and of course the car, the car is connected to a machine that blasts out your dragster car and the way to make it to the finish line faster than your opponent is by having a car with less mass.
First of all, Nascar is more electrifying because, it involves more than two cars. Other than Drag racing having two cars, Nascar has about thirty racecars or more! When a lot of cars are out at once, it can have the most prospects of wrecks. Every racecar driver can go all at once, than wait until one’s turn as in Drag racing does.
I Drag race 2 cars, one is a 1932 5 window coupe. The car I race the most is my 1968 Chevelle Nitromethane pro mod Drag car. I have made it to the Drag nationals and took 2nd place for my class. It is probably one of the most dangerous sports for someone ever do.
Sprint Cup Series cars are unique in automobile racing. The engines are powerful enough to reach speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h), but heavy weight - coupled with a (relatively) simple aerodynamic package - makes for poor handling. Their bodies and chassis are strictly regulated to ensure parity or equality, and electronics are generally Spartan in nature.
The Physics of NASCAR by Diandra Leslie-Pelecky: How can a car going 190 mph operate with precision? How can race car drivers walk away from disastrous crashes? The author, a physicist, caught a NASCAR race on television and wondered those same things. In The Physics of NASCAR, Leslie-Pelecky explores the science
You're driving down the straight stretch at 200 mph, slowing down for one of the three left hand turns; you’re surrounded by other cars all doing the same things, all trying to achieve the same goal: to be the first racer to cross the checkered line. The sport, is called NASCAR, it attracts hundreds of thousands of people to watch each and every race. NASCAR was started by back country bootleggers in Georgia; in late 1947, a meeting was held to discuss the future of stock car racing, and NASCAR was conceived. It takes extreme skill to race in the NASCAR world; it is a crazy fast paced sport that has an incredible, humble beginning.
Close to a year ago, my brother and I went to Darlington South Carolina for a NASCAR race. This was our third race and third time being in this crazy but wonderful environment. The people were drinking, the laughter was loud but genuine, and the race was thrilling. The excitement you get from hearing the loud cars, seeing them crash and the excitement of the crowd was overpowering. I had goosebumps from every bit of it. The smells from the burnt rubber, the smell of the smoke from the cars after hitting the wall or crashing into another car, the blinding lights from the fireworks when the race was over, and people going crazy was so overpowering. The parties that night were entertaining. People treated complete strangers like family, and fed
Racing is always a thrill for me and for half of my family. It was always my uncle, dad, grandpa and grandma, and I that had a passion for watching or actually racing. My brother and my cousins and aunt didn 't really care for it. Before each race, I will have fear effect me. I always questioned everything while sitting and waiting to start. I would ask myself if there is enough gas in the car or is the tires good enough. I was always double checking before getting in and going out there. I constantly see cars flip over or crash and get caught on fire. It scares me but its a thrill. Racing on a dirt track has its benefits. Sliding and drifting on the track has helped me learn to actually know what to do for when I’m on an ice road
These types of differentiation are often done through campaigns like the NASCAR 50th anniversary. Something that differentiates NASCAR from other competitors in the industry is the experience that fans get when attending a race. Fans that attend the races like the rush feeling that they might feel. This can include: live entertainment, possible crashes, and even danger at the events (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014.) NASCAR differentiates itself through connections with the media; diverse market segments, pursuing involvement in the Hispanic countries (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014.)
The intricacies that are involved in turning a regular car into a “Street Racer” are many; and racers pour their souls into these magnificent machines. After seeing “the Fast and the Furious” many people have or wanted to become involved in street racing. They do not realize that this is a sport that takes knowledge, hard work, and nerve. Many of these racers have spent their lives under a car, learning the trade and improving upon it. As I have learned, this is not just a hobby; it is a way of life.
The Dodge Charger is an automobile with a great history. This American car was produced in fifth basic generations. The first Dodge Charger was introduced to American people more than 50 years ago as a show car. But the first generation of Charger was launched two years later. The first cars had a four bucket seat interior and a two-door fastback body design. The second generation began in 1968. The Dodge Charger featured modern, improved design. The third generation of the automobile was presented because of the new safety requirements. The Dodge Charger moved into the expanding personal luxury car market segment after the fourth generation. A new era came 20 years later. Then the entirely new model of Charger was introduced. These prominent
People wondered about this racing many years ago. The cars were very different from today’s formula ones. The question of safety and also the atmosphere of racing was different. It was a risk to drive so fast and a lot of tragic accidents happened. Also the rules have been changed since the first race was held. The rules are very strict today for safety. According
