Motor Tuning History

NASCAR is a sport of racing that most people try to say it’s not a sport just because they just make left turns only which is false, because the also make left and right turns on two scheduled events that they make twice a year. Many people don’t understand the physics of a NASCAR car of how they run and how they are developed to run as fast as they go and how they handling speeds from 55 to 200+MPH.The physics of NASCAR also is developed on wind tunnels and simulation different race tracks as well. These cars have a lot of key roles that science is important for these, for example a car body has to be so smooth that the air flow goes over the car in areas that are very important so the car won’t have some drag but has some drag so that the

NASCAR community is made up of sports personalities. The community values sports and champions sporting activities with the aim of fostering peace and unity (Batchelor 226). They have always achieved significant gains with the sporting initiatives concerning the transformation of the way of life of the southern people including other parts of the nation. Likewise, NASCAR is a sporting community that coordinates multiple auto-racing sporting events. The community started its activities in 1948, and the brain behind its formation is known as Bill France. It was formed to spearhead motorsports stock-car racing that is highly prominent. The community’s objective was to foster cultural practices, provide a

To begin with, in Italy in 1929 there was a car model created by the italians which was called the ¨Ferrari¨ and was created for men to race their cars back then on the track. In addition, in Germany in 1931 the ¨Porsche¨ model was created germans for the purpose of racing on the track also but was created by a man named Ferdinand Porsche which loved cars as a kid and grew up working on volkswagens which lead to his idea of the porsche. So, they were both created for racing purposes but the history of the men who made them is not similar because they lived in different countries with different cultures and ideas.

The year was late 1966, you’re standing on the side of the road watching the cars go by. Suddenly a shiny red car comes barreling by, that car was a brand new Chevy Camaro. These cars opened up a new world of high speed racing engines that could still be driven on a normal basis. The Chevy Camaro is widely known because of its rise in popularity, the history of it, and the safety features.

Junior Johnson, a NASCAR hero, is a true example of where the sport came from. He was raised in a moonshine family. Johnson's father taught him many values such as no stealing or lying. Although it seemed contradictory that they were breaking the law everyday with their business, apparently it was all they could do to survive. When a school friend named Millard Ashley was asked about Junior’s driving, he replied, “Junior? Hell, he’d run wide open all the time….Yeah, he was pretty bad about that. He was always blowing a head gasket or somethin” (Menzer, 61). Junior had a talent for making his cars faster with better handling than those of the law’s. Outrunning law enforcement officers became a means for the drivers to learn the knowledge needed in increasing a car's, or racecar's performance.

NASCAR is one of the most rapidly growing sports in the world. There are people who think that NASCAR is just a bunch of hicks going around in circles, but it takes skill to drive at two-hundred miles per hour. I am going to talk about the history of NASCAR, early drivers of NASCAR, the three NASCAR divisions, the rules, and the new technology.

commonly talked about is chevy, ford, and dodge as these cars were the big names back in the

NASCAR wasn’t always one of America’s favorite things to watch or a multimillion-dollar sport. It was actually inspired by criminal activity during the twentieth century. How racecars became part of American life goes back to the early days of prohibition and how gangsters avoided the law. During this time temperance organizations wanted to restrict or abolish the consumption of alcoholic beverages. By the early 20th century, women’s groups throughout the country viewed the sale and consumption of liquor was disrupting family life, and destroying marriages. The “Anti-Saloon League”, established in 1893, led a wave of protests in 1906 against “saloon” culture. The league had support from

The development of stock auto dashing was conceived in the Southern Appalachians. Hustling back in the days was not all that well known till the late 1900s. Throughout the years hustling has been reverting a turning into a more prevalent game. For example, nascar when it was initially found in 1947 Bill France Sr. composed a meeting at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida, to talk about the issues confronting stock auto hustling. Among the issues confronting the game were tracks that couldn't deal with the group or the autos and differing principles from area to area. Others concurred that these were issues that could be illuminated, and from that meeting, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing was conceived.

The history of open-wheel racing in the United States is a story of incredible success and terrible failure. The story can be seen to have started in 1978 with the formation of the Championship Auto Racing Team or CART. The league was founded by several racing teams who were dissatisfied with the way open-wheel racing was being handled. CART experienced tremendous success for a number of years and represented the most popular form of motor sports in the United States. The wheels on the success of CART racing began to come off when Anton “Tony” George, the president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway began to express concerns with how CART was operating. George complained that the CART league held too many races in foreign countries. He also expressed concern that CART was focusing on road races instead of oval tracks. He also felt that CART focused on too heavily on promoting foreign drivers. As a result of his dissatisfaction with CART, George began the Indy

After awhile of drifting in the streets the street racers went to the mountains to race and found out they could drift a lot more in the mountains. Some of the street racers stopped racing and just went to the mountain and started drifting they would go fast up to corner and start drifting and not racing.

Catherine R. Forbeck Ms. Davis College Prep English 10 Apr 2017 The Last Lap Have you ever wanted to experience the adrenaline rush that comes from burning the tires after winning a race? The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, or NASCAR, is a sport where drivers get to feel that intense excitement every time they set foot on the track. NASCAR not only displays bold drivers fighting for the checkered flag, but even the dedicated fans who pull their campers out on Friday nights, (Simeone). This sport contains a lot of physicality and risk, which makes the races so exciting.

In the United States, automobile racing first started in the town of Ormond Beach in Florida. “The town’s flat, broad beach was an ideal place back in the early 1900s to test the newfangled horseless carriages” (Alexander). In 1903, two of America’s leading auto manufacturers, Alexander Winton and Ransom Olds, organized a speed test on the beach. The two men, along with business leaders from Ormond Beach, saw great economic potential for automobile races on the ideal racing surface that was the beach’s tightly packed sand straightaway. The Speed Carnival, featuring the two automobile manufacturers, showcased the men racing the clock along a measured out mile in the sand. The cars reached speeds of up to 68 miles per hour, the fastest speeds

Rudi Volti’s Cars and Culture: The Life Story of a Technology (Greenwood Press, 2004) examines the evolution of the automobile, starting from 1765, with Nicholas Cugnot’s steam-powered vehicles, to the present day. The goal of the book, as stated by Volti in the introduction, is to “pay particular attention to the automobile’s technical evolution while at the same time delineating the cultural, social, and political context in which that evolution has taken place” (xi). Thus, Volti also demonstrates the cultural and societal effects that resulted from the emergence and mass production of automobiles. Volti divides the history of automobiles into seven time periods, each a separate chapter that achieves his goal. He accomplishes his objectives by stating the technological advances and societal context under different headings, occasionally linking the two topics together.

So for years now, the car industry has been evolving. While it is getting bigger and bigger, it is also branching off to many other sub-industries. Among those industries, one of the most popular is the racing one. It has been evolving since it has started. And to say that it is very popular in this generation would be a huge understatement. Even while it is an industry of its own (Racing industry), it still has many different branches. For instance, when we talk about racing, we can have an endless discussion about how many different kinds there are. On the legal side of racing, we have organized activities such as NASCAR racing events, but if we want to talk about illegal racing ways, we can talk about street racing or drag racing on local streets. This however, will be discussed in the main part of this paper. So before getting into the meat of this paper – which is the driving question (“Why is racing important in the car industry?”) – We need to answer why talking about his is important to know about. So, why is this topic crucial to know about? Well for starters, racing has become one of the most popular activates that most teenage boys and professionals partake in. other than that, racing brings one of the biggest revenues economically to the table. Now this means better improvements in the car industry as a whole. While we are talking about improvements to the car industry, we can certainly talk about how sport and
