Research Paper On Drag Racing

You test a dragster car by checking it’s weight, it’s distance, straightness, and axle friction. Checking it’s weight by putting the dragster car flat on the weight scale. You check the distance by rolling it down a ramp. You test the straightness by rolling it forward on a line. And lastly, you check it’s axle friction. We also need to race a CO2 dragster car. We do this by placing the car on the track. Then, we put the CO2 cartridge in the back. We get the hammer and smack the CO2 cartridge which makes it propel forward really fast. Then we record how fast the car goes! This is how we test and race a CO2 dragster

The nascar body frame has become so much stronger. The frame has gone through so many changes. It has went from the stock frame of a car right off the assembly line to a full custom frame. Stronger frames can also protect the driver in any type of wreck. If the car happens to take a head on crash the frame will bend but the parts around the driver will not. Without the frame the driver would be killed in a wreck.

There are many arguments for and against auto racing actually being a sport. To understand this argument one needs to know what type of racing people are saying is a sport. Auto racing has been around as long as there have been automobiles. Every teenager, whether they admit it or not has raced. This type of racing however is not a sport if you ask me; this type of racing is known as street racing. On this type of racing people get together and race their suit up cars and see who is faster. There is no stress on the body, and not any practice needed to participate in this. This is one of the main reasons that most people believe that auto racing is not a

The dragster car is a race car that is for drag racing, racing that is two or more cars racing for a short distance. We are starting a unit on drag racing to learn about acceleration and other things such as mph and speed. This will help if we wish to be an engineer or mechanic for cars. Basically anything that transportation-wise. The actually term of drag racing is because unlike other racing sports, drag-racing is racing over a short distance with more than, at least one car. Students race these model cars because, one, for enjoyment or for training to become an auto-mechanic or engineer like stated earlier. The dragster is also run off things like CO2.

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

At the same time, race car drivers receive an adrenaline rush from racing. They receive this rush from the super-fast speeds, and pushing themselves and their cars to the edge. (Daft)

Drivers must have a very strong neck to hold their helmet up while pulling multiple G forces on their bodies for hours (Metcalf, Robert). Brute strength is probably not as important as cardio workouts when it comes to race car drivers. Drivers are not trained as intensely as some other professional athletes, but they should be in shape if they want to be successful.

Two best friends fighting to the death over a woman who wants to stay a virgin (Chaucer, Knight’s Tale), a woman and her lover tricking her husband into thinking a second global flood was coming and making him the fool of the town (Chaucer, Miller’s Tale), a pardoner tricking everyone of their money for fake relics and blessings (Chaucer, Pardoner’s Prologue), these are several of the satirical things that Chaucer writes about in The Canterbury Tales. Through symbolism, irony, humour, and wit, one can tell that by all his satire in his work, Chaucer is trying to get across a point to his readers. This point is that people act foolish, and they act even more foolish when it comes to them loving after something.

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.

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.
