As their lives collide, the issue of racism and racial profiling is clearly shown and explored, while each of these people individually
We will go over some of the things you can do performance wise and a little about what it will do for your car and at the end you can decide which one you think is better, or if you think there isn’t much of a difference. You’re at a drag racing strip, the excitement in the air as the different types of vehicles revving up there engines, the sound of them screeching down the strip, hearing people shouting for their favorite cars to out perform their competitors. Then you see the next two cars getting ready to race each other. You notice the difference between them, which isn't hard, since one is an American muscle and the other is an import. The question that most car nuts want to know pops in your head, which car will perform the best?
He spins to a stop. Multiple cars have hit him and each other trying to avoid the accident. When Jackson looks up he can see that he hit a person. The person is
Gauges, tachometers, shift lights, turbo timers, short shifters, air intake, cams, upper struts, Nitrous Oxide, and wires are just some of the incentives that a top-notch street-racer's vehicle will have in its repertoire. Around midnight, you'll return to that same McDonalds, but this time it's not for the food, it's for the racing. This is the crucial point of the night, when all racers gather and possibly even listen to police scanners, determining what area the cops will most likely be circling during the night. Then you're off to a side street behind the Tallahassee Regional Airport, as the sound of the turbines of planes meld with the hot flaming sound of turbo-charged cars with shining dual exhaust pipes. Joining you will be racers from all walks of life - Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Chinese, Filipinos, Jamaicans, Italians, African Americans, and many others all set out to win some money, earn some respect, and prove that their car is the fastest.
To me it is dangerous to use your head and neck to ram someone in order to knock them down. People think that racing is dangerous because of the speeds, look at how many football players were paralyzed this year and even killed compared to racing. Race cars are actually way safer than regular street cars. Now that I have given my opinion, I hope I can make a point without sounding rude or ignorant. My feelings are strong for racing like theirs is for other sports.
Our memory in effect shapes our reality and this is the basis of Elizabeth Loftus’ research. In her experiment she selected a random assortment of people and subjected them to footage of a car crash. She then asked a variety of questions relating to the speed of the vehicles before the incident. From this, Loftus concluded that the speed the participant thought the vehicle was going changed depending on the way the question was phrased. For example, when she asked, “how fast was the car going when the two cars smashed?” the participants gave a much higher speed than when the question was phrased, “how fast was the car going when the two cars collided?” This research created a lot of skepticism over the accuracy of eyewitness accounts and since then DNA testing has found a lot of convicted felons to be innocent.
As you are diving down the road on your way to work or school, you feel your cell phone buzzing away in your pocket. You pull out the phone to see who is calling or sending you a text message. Unbeknownst to you, the driver in front of you slams on their brakes as the stoplight turns red. In the blink of an eye, you have slammed into the rear of the car in front of you, causing serious damage. You could have easily injured or killed someone else or yourself.
While driving up to Cleveland the cars can be seen from miles away, as they start to pile up for the Sunday afternoon. It almost looks like everyone in Ohio is here to see their team play. Then just as you are entering Cleveland you can smell all of the toxins from the factories. It almost smells like an old moldy sandwich that you left out in the hot humid sun for a couple of days. You feel like rolling down your windows to get the smell out of your car, but you then realize, that the musky odor is coming from outside of the car.
Some tracks have even painted white, yellow or blue strips to assist the jockey with the height of the hurdles. Thirdly, the cost to the racing industry would have increased with alterations being made continually to hurdles, the safety regulations that have had to be advertised and the damage in the public’s eye to the racing industry. The amount of injuries and deaths has brought a negative view from many people to the racing industry. One of the latest safety issues was the horse jumping over the safety barrier in Warrnambool injuring seven people, as well as the horse. There is talk and pressure on Victoria to ban this racing.
Red is frequently used to symbolize anger, aggression or intense passion. Some car insurance companies even charge more for red cars because studies show that the owners of red cars are more aggressive drivers and take more risks. The colour black represents the lack of, emptiness, night, death and even the negative or evil. The
