Drag Car Racing

Posted by admin under Car Racing

Do you find you are watching car racing on TV or driving to the track ? Do you like playing with cars in the garage, getting oil on your hands ? Does the sound of a super-charged engine to the blood pumping ?

Well, maybe you’re the kind of person who would love to get to the sport of drag racing fans. Here’s an idea.

Drag racing cars, Lorne Walters, towing the car worked on for over two years, making it one of the fastest cars on the strip. That even competes with cars that have a rated power greater than his 1984 drag racing street car that picked him for the next-to-nothing. He picked up cheap, used by the parties, which for over a year, until finally all bolted together and the crank power.

Since then, a couple of seasons of driving and the establishment under his belt. He explained that any significant change that big leaps in performance, but many small changes over time that makes the difference between winning and losing a race.

Removing the scarf of his growing power. The elimination of more than three hundred pounds of non-essentials made the car lighter. Removing the belt driven fan and replacing it by a series of batteries to reduce the load on the engine. Changing tires on the street that sticks to the tires lay rubber and heat to increase its traction. All these changes increased the speed of your car.

When you’re counting your racing time in tenths of a second, every little change brings you closer to winning.

Lorne one of the themes of life, ie, can not learn if you do not. If you want to be a better and more successful Drag Race Driver, you can not just read or see, what to do! The more you do it, and apply what you learn from experience, you become the best.

But do not be surprised if you find yourself recalling and using this same information in the coming days.

Before he ever thought of driving your own car, however, Lorne joined a pit crew for a stock car, which led to other fans of the network and in the thick of it. Once you are bitten by the race car fever, getting behind the wheel became a driving obsession.

Consistency is also one of the main keys to winning. In friction is not always the fastest car that wins, but remains constant in doing the little things. Good race timing scores must be repeated frequently.

Lorne also learned quickly that when you are in the band, ready to go, wait to be told to go. Waiting for the tree lights go green to get to cost him 1.2 seconds. This means your competitor, who exploded his engine moving forward just before the green to the left of the green door, like the tree in front and was beaten out of him. There is always a time delay before exploding cars really move forward.

When Lorne started with your own car, tagging along with a successful athlete who knew the circuit and put all the cables beyond their competition car lengths. He also received the bulk of their knowledge by asking lots of questions, searching the Internet for free information and practical experience.

Drag Racing has become a hobby to Lorne, a passion, a passion that pushes him to race to race throughout the season.

Perhaps this could be your passion, and Lorne, you can get some or even all the car sponsored by local businesses.

Not sure if you like? Some drivers are allowed to take passengers at certain times of day. Why not go and meet with a return to a trial ?

Grand Prix Racing

Posted by admin under Car Racing

If the Indy Car race fan or not, can doubt the impact of the Grand Prix races are held in the city. If decibels or dollars, the races have a significant effect.

Take Saint Petersburg, Florida, where a recent Indy Car race was held, for example. The most pressing issue for many residents of St. Pete was the sound. Indy cars are very strong and powerful race took place from 8:30 AM until approximately 5:00 pm each day. Depending on where residents live in decibels (dB) levels achieved from 110 to 122. How strong is 122 dB ? A typical conversation occurs at about 60 dB. Washing produce 75 dB. A power tool generates around 100 dB. Shot and can cause immediate hearing loss, with the sound reaching 140 to 190 dB, depending on the weapon.

Due to permanent hearing loss occurs in broadening the exposure of 85 dB or more, it’s safe to say that race is dangerously noisy, even for non-attendees. But it is the Grand Prix to produce a positive effect also ?

Only if you call more than 5 million dollars in revenue “good.”

This figure was one result of the city of Saint Petersburg ’s 2005 Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Economic Impact Study. “The study was done to document the economic impact of the 2005 race in the city. He concluded that, according to estimates provided by various media, 70,000 spectators attended the event over three days in April.

According to the study, “the combined economic impact of expenditure by visitors in commercial accommodation, temporary residents, tourists and people visiting relatives and friends (outside the county attending), in conjunction with the Honda Grand Prix of Saint Petersburg is $ 5, 131.070.

This figure reflects only event spectators, and excludes the impact generated by the organizers, sponsors and crews. These groups are likely to significantly increase the total amount according to Dave Goodwin, Director of Economic Development. “The race teams and their environment and careers in the media are in town for several days, many remain in hotel rooms, dine in local restaurants and visit local shops and stores.” All this adds up to thousands of dollars spent in San Pedro.

And the impact will be repeated each year celebrates the race. 70.000 2005 race for the spectators, 85.7% of attendees came specifically for the race. 6.4%, or 4480, he fell in half of the companies for the presentation of two nights. And all those who claimed to be back for the 2006 race.

Rick Mussett, St. Peter s Manager City Development is the positive effect is much greater than that quantified $ 5 million. “The IRL [Indy Racing League] and ESPN reported that the 2005 race was broadcast in 203 countries and territories, and seen by 309 million households,” Mussett said in an e-mail. “This race is probably the greatest impact on the city throughout the world, the exhibition gives an important boost to our image!”

Goodwin agreed. When asked if the race had an economic impact beyond the days of racing, said the Grand Prix could be the best 2 hours of economic / commercial city tourist does not pay “due to their emissions EPSN. Anything that shows the city and encourages the viewer to visit, relocate, or start a business adds to the economic base of the city. ”

In addition, Goodwin said the Economic Development Department of the City and the Association of Tampa Bay for the coverage of the international race to host the foreign press and professional site selectors. These people “and then lie to tell the story of Saint Petersburg and the surrounding region,” said Goodwin.

Regardless of the Grand Prix or the aversion of cacophonous noise and three days of activity, there is no denying the long-term positive impact on the city of San Pedro. Immediately dollars spent by fans and crew exposure to the international price, the Grand Prix races are ideal for the local economy.

Formula1 Racing Rule

Posted by admin under Racing Rules

Following is a summary of changes to the technical and sporting regulations made by the FIA for the Formula 1 season.

Engines

Specifications of the engine used in the last two races of the 2006 season Formula 1 will be used for the next four seasons. This means that an engine freeze has been in force for the next four years. Some limited development, but is only allowed under strict control of the FIA. There are some loop holes I would say. Of course, I understand the need to reduce costs, but this rule may result in Formula 1 races very predictable. The team with the strongest or fastest engine will have an advantage for the next four seasons, the FIA or to be more lenient if the development is not one of the first.

Friday practice sessions of the teams are allowed to use the engines.This goes against the FIA in order to save costs, since all teams use different engines for the Friday practice. It should increase action in the course of Friday, however, that the fans of Formula 1 better exposure. In addition, the team can not risk having an accident and the destruction of the race chassis, as this would spell disaster for the team for the rest of the weekend.

Tires

Teams receive two different compounds of Bridgestone tires for the weekend. Increase the number of tires in eight games assigned to each Formula 1 team on Friday and ten sets for the rest of the weekend. One of these ten sets should be returned to the supplier before qualifying. The other eight groups of four sets of each compound can be used for qualifying and the race. Both compounds should be used by all drivers in the race. A good strategy is important here. Races could be won or lost, if the compound is used in a bad moment in the race wrong. I hope that most of the teams to start with the softer of the two compounds to ensure proper tracking of the position and try to stay away from the masses at the start. Accidents requiring the deployment of the safety car before the first round of pit stops, however, would give a computer with a harder compound advantage.

Practical sessions

The two Friday practice sessions will now be 90 minutes and not 60 minutes. Third cars are no longer allowed, but teams may use an alternate test driver for each of Friday’s session. The third driver to use an auto racing team, but an alternative you can use the engine. This means that a team can use a controller and a pilot test run in each session, or using only the two race drivers with alternate engines. Up to four drivers for the season is still in force.

Car Safety

The Pit Lane will be closed when the safety car is deployed until all cars are grouped together behind the safety car. Lapped car running between cars on the lead lap must pass the lead car and take a position at the rear of the field, in fact unlapping it. At first when I read this article gave me the impression that the cars could not be hole in the safety car during all periods. After reading the rules was made clear that only the pit lane was closed until all the cars behind the safety car. With modern careers pushing all the barriers that would be interesting to see what would happen if a team is scheduled for a pit stop and a crash highlights the safety car. Most teams who do not have enough fuel to sit behind the safety car for a couple of laps and a pit stop during this time to incur a penalty of 10 seconds.

Other changes

There are many other small changes in the rules for the 2007 season of Formula1 racing and a lot of these changes have been incorporated to improve security. As an example, the cars will be equipped with a display of colored lights which represent the different color parameters used. Supervisors must be able to alert drivers of hazards and risks more effectively.

A doctor at the light will be installed in all cars of Formula 1 teams to rescue an immediate indication of the severity of an accident.

Car racing Formula 1 must pass a rigorous series of crash tests, for the sake of improving security.
