Touring car racing

There are many types of racing in this age; from NASCAR and Formula 1 grand spectacles, to Pinewood Derby and CO2 small scale drag races. Despite the differences between all the different types and the rules and restrictions, they all still share connections that branch over several spaces. One of these, and the most relevant to racing itself, is Physics, in particular how it affects the racing vehicles. These forces have always existed, but have been discovered relatively recently. And…

Introduction: Ski jumping is one of the competitive sports with the Olympian ideal of going faster, jumping further and leaping higher than the opposition (Muller 269). However, sometimes accidents happen. For example, Thomas Morgenstern crashed during a trial round for the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Bad Mitterndorf. Later, he was hospitalized with skull injuries and a bruised lung (The Associated Press). Then, why did this accident happen? What influenced the performance of Morgenstern and…

“Woo Hoo” I yelled at the top of my lungs. I could feel the wind rushing against my face, like a cold river of air. I felt like how a cheetah feels when it is running at top speed. I felt fast, careless, and free. I also felt very frigid. As I reached the bottom of the slope, I waited for myself to slow down. I didn’t know how to do that cool thing with my skis where I twist sideways so I stop and kick up snow. I had just finished going down my favorite ski trail, Skycoaster. I go to Hunt…

experienced with skiing in the backcountry. I accepted his invitation without any hesitation. Finally, the day came, and I found myself staring up at the summit of the mountain with John. Eagerly, we took out our backpacks from the trunk of John’s car, and started the four-hour long, extremely strenuous hike to the summit. By the time we were halfway up, we were huffing and puffing from exhaustion. We decided to take a short lunch break before we continued on. It took us slightly longer for…

Skiing is a great way to exercise, yet have fun. I ski because I like the feeling of going really fast down a steep snow covered hill and catching really big air. I like any type of skiing, downhill, cross country, even backcountry. I love the feeling I get when I am in the air for a long time. I also like the vibe that a ski resort gives off. There are the ski bums(that are there everyday), the crazy ski team kids that send it off anything, and the first timers, everyone is having fun. I like…

appear pearly white. I had immediately called up Jack and Cameron to tell them to meet at the mountain in one hour. I quickly get dressed, pack my bags and was on my way out the door, telling my mom to call me out sick from school. I then jumped in the car and took off for one the scarce opportunities we get in Vermont these days. Skiing was never a big part of anyone in my family's life. It's a very expensive sport. But thanks to my parents, they have created this opportunity for me to find…

Passion for Racing There are a couple reasons why I enjoy racing. I enjoy racing for the competition in the sport. Racing is a skilled and competitive sport. The competitiveness can help to improve my skills and hopefully be able to continue my racing career to a full size car. My dream is to race in the World Of Outlaws. There is basically two styles of racing in this area, wing and non-wing. I prefer racing wing better than non-wing due to the potentially faster speeds of the wing cars.…

would be the car culture. The car culture is a place where I really adapted into. I learned about how the whole scene works and the different kinds of people. When I lived in California a group of friends that I had were car enthusiast, they would talk about the meets going down, the events, etc. I was more of a regular person at the time who cared nothing else except video games. I later adapted to this culture because I like how interesting it was, and I really like the amazing cars that…

On the way to Florida the Askins’ family would stop at Mount Olive Baptist Church in South Georgia, and they would have lunch on their lawn. His father drove an Oldsmobile. Cars were a big deal in the 1950’s. The new cars would be released and Mr. Askins would beg his father to take him to the dealer, so he could see the cars. It was the most exciting thing in the world. High School Mr. Askins went to high school in Birmingham. He was so fortunate that his public school education from Mountain…

the kitchen eavesdropping on my mother talking on the phone about a huge birthday party that I knew was for me; however, I pretended not to know. I wanted to be excited. The day comes, and my loving mother knew exactly what I wanted, a Disney Pixar Cars themed party! My family and friends are spread across our yard and as typical, mothers are gossiping, fathers are drinking beer, and kids are running for their lives as they play Freeze Tag. What truly made me happy, however, were the gifts on…
