The cars shook on the grid, engines revved up to twenty thousand and fire spitting out of the exhausts. The engines crackled like fireworks, the cars grumbled in the heat as the lights dropped to green. Mitty dumped the clutch and sped off, with full control over his car. He shifted into second, then third, and fourth as he zoomed by other cars.
“Seems like the others are in your way, we need you to quickly get by the ones holding you up and catch the leaders.”Mitty twitched the wheel left and right, dodging the cars at 200 miles an hour. The smell of burning rubber was like cooked bacon to his nose, the crackling of engines heaven to his ears.

    Ted's wishes By jacob Kothe When it comes to driving a stick shift manual car, you can get a little stressed out. What I mean by that when you're driving around the neighborhood with your instructor (my dad) he makes you turn, a lot stop on hills, and insures that you stop at a stop sign, when you think that he insures that you stop at stop signs you think of something else. You have to go up to the sign and push down on the clutch. And stop at the sign press down the gas and slowly let off the clutch.

Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless non-toxic gas used to reduce the temperature of the tire and increase its lifespan. In races, it may be able to keep tire pressure more constant and slow pressure loss without reacting to the tire and rim materials. Another thing that surprised me about the car was its design and build. What really caught my eye was that the inside of the body shell of the car.…
