...Drag Racing is a sport to see who has the best car. What is the history of Drag racing. Drag Racing is very fun to do and watch. If you have seen a race you know how fun they are. Drag racing is fun but dangerous. There are some cars that do not make it off the track in one piece or not run. A speed strip is 200 to 300 feet wide and 500 feet long and that is a big strip. But the longer the strip is the smaller it gets. The smaller the strip gets the faster the car gets and the harder it is to drive the car. The car may or may not lose control. People sometimes do not live if they do lose control. It is a very dangerous sport. But it all starts in the 1930s in a dry river bed. In the 1930s top steed was 100 mph...

...following research paper, we will be discussing three companies: Harley Davidson, Wawa Food Markets and Rita’s Water Ice. We will discuss three marketing opportunities for each company that they should pursue. Company #1: Harley Davidson Marketing opportunity #1: Motorcycles for Women I would categorize this opportunity as a home run. This would be a very large project that would take a lot of risk. In 2012, Harley Davidson made 34 new motorcycles for women to ride. The opportunity is already being worked on, it just needs expanding. I believe it would have a positive impact on public relations and would greatly improve profits. As I drive anywhere, I notice that more and more women are starting to ride motorcycles. Marketing opportunity #2: Motorized Motorcycles for kids As all parents know that have children, power wheels makes motorized vehicles for children to ride. I strongly believe that Harley should introduce a kid’s motorized vehicle. I would categorize this opportunity as a single. I do not think that it would be a great expense or risk to introduce this line. I think it would be a positive impact on public relations, especially to those parents who own Harley motorcycles already. I believe that this opportunity may only be a minor improvement to the financials. Marketing opportunity #3: Sponsoring teen bike racing I think Harley Davidson should sponsor young teenage drivers aspiring to become drag professionals in the drag racing sport. The...

...have chosen this project because I grew up watching NASCAR every Sunday, and helping with my dad’s best friend’s race car. The thing I was trying to accomplish in this project was to get a better understanding of the background and history of NASCAR. The process I took in accomplishing my goal was writing a rationale, writing down research questions, and finding Wisconsin’s state standards that I would meet in my project. What I hope that the reader takes from this paper is all of the things that helped NASCAR get started, what they raced on back then, and how NASCAR changed over time. In this paper you will read about the prohibition, Bootleggers tricks and advantages[, Bill Frances Sr., history of NASCAR, Technological advancements, racing legends, aerodynamics, How NASCAR got so big and Wisconsin’s traditions. NASCAR has an interesting background. It all started with bootleggers racing from town to town delivering their moonshine without getting caught. NASCAR is linked to American history and it comes with some interesting tales. This paper will tell you everything you need to know about NASCAR and aerodynamics of the car. Some things that this paper will contain are famous drivers and their impact on NASCAR, how safely has changed over time, how NASCAR got started, what NASCAR drivers first raced on and why it changed over time, how NASCAR fit its time period, and how the cars got more aerodynamic. Prohibition: Back in the 1920’s, alcohol became illegal. The Eighteenth amendment...

...UNIT 1- CAR BODY DETAILS Cars can come in a large variety of different body styles. Some are still in production, while others are of historical interest only. These styles are largely (though not completely) independent of a car's classification in terms of price, size and intended broad market; the same car model might be available in multiple body styles (or model ranges). For some of the following terms, especially relating to four-wheel drive / SUV models and minivan / MPV models, the distinction between body style and classification is particularly narrow. Please note that while each body style has a historical and technical definition, in common usage such definitions are often blurred. Over time, the common usage of each term evolves. For example, people often call 4-passenger sport coupés a "sports car", while purists will insist that a sports car by definition is limited to two-place vehicles. Body work In automotive engineering, the bodywork of an automobile is the structure which protects: ⦁ The occupants ⦁ Any other payload ⦁ The mechanical components. In vehicles with a separate frame or chassis, the term bodywork is normally applied to only the non-structural panels, including doors and other movable panels, but it may also be used more generally to include the structural components which support the mechanical components. Construction There are three main types of automotive bodywork: ⦁ The first automobiles were designs...

...NASCAR: Lessons Learned About Safety By Kai McLemore Columbia Southern University MOS 5101 Abstract The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) seems to always be a few steps behind when it comes to initiating safety practices. They wait until there is a reason in implementing a change. This paper covers the changes that has been mandated over the past decade and why these changes have occurred. Changes ere not just to the car but includes the whole NASCAR package. Changes were made to the car, the track, the driver’s gear, and pit road. Unfortunately, these changes were too late for some of NASCAR’s most legendary drivers, to include Dale Earnhardt. However, NASCAR officials have attempted to rectify their wrongs by ensuring the safety of the driver over the past 10 years. One can hope that they do not stop there and continue to look towards the future and they can continue to improve with the increase of changes to machine and man. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has been an exhilarating sport since the mid 1940s, and has thousands of spectators at each race cheering for their favorite driver. But then again, what other sport can be as exciting as watching an extremely super fast car that weighs approximately 3,400 pounds (Online NASCAR, 2010) bulleting around a track at speeds ranging close to 200 mph and merely inches from each other. Unfortunately, there are downsides to this sport which keeps every fan, spouse...

...great interest in automobiles. He worked as a mechanic at a Japanese tuning shop, Art Shokai, where he tuned cars and entered them in races. A self-taught engineer, he later worked on a piston design which he hoped to sell to Toyota. The first drafts of his design were rejected, and Soichiro worked painstakingly to perfect the design, even going back to school and pawning his wife's jewelry for collateral. Eventually, he won a contract with Toyota and built a factory to construct pistons for them, which was destroyed in an earthquake. Due to a gasoline shortage during World War II, Honda was unable to use his car, and his novel idea of attaching a small engine to his bicycle attracted much curiosity. He then established the Honda Technical Research Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, to develop and produce small 2-cycle motorbike engines. Calling upon 18,000 bicycle shop owners across Japan to take part in revitalizing a nation torn apart by war, Soichiro received enough capital to engineer his first motorcycle, the Honda Cub. This marked the beginning of Honda Motor Company, which would grow a short time later to be the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles by 1964. The first production automobile from Honda was the T360 mini pick-up truck, which went on sale in August 1963. Powered by a small 356 cc straight-4 gasoline engine, it was classified under the cheaper Kei car tax bracket. The first production car from Honda was the S500 sports car, which followed the T360 into production...

The wider a person’s field of vision, of course, the deeper and more accurate his or her grasp of everyday experiences.
