The excitement of the beginning of the race when everyone in the stands comes up to their feet and cheers on their favorite driver as the rumble of the cars passes by. By the end of each race my adrenaline is flowing and my heart is racing to watch my favorite drivers cross the finish line. I enjoy going into the garage area and meeting nascar drivers and their crew. Listening to the conversations of the different teams as they try to hurry up to get on the start line for the race only shows the great passion they all have for the sport. I have several of their autographs and pictures with them.
Seat belts and car seats for kids save thousands of lives every year. Seat belts do several things for you. They provide impact protection, they absorb crash forces, and they keep you from bein thrown out of the car. So before you leave always make sure everyone is in thier seatbelts. Now that you are ready, your car is working correctly and everyone in your vehicle is in a seatbelt its time to focus on the road.
When the race cars come out on the track there are many different types and designs to look at. When the cars start up and the races begin there is a smell of burning gasoline, burning alcohol, and a feeling of the bleachers vibrating under you. When the races start, chunks of clay hit your face as the cars race by. There is a strong smell of burning rubber from the tires. At some races there is a smell of burning oil, and smoke when a car blows up.
The screech of tires and the smell of rubber as the truck's tires grip the road, in split second, your fight or flight response is activated. The muscles, nerves, and glands are mobilized as adrenaline moves in. When you grip the steering wheel, slam on the breaks and swerve. Your heart is pumping and muscles are tensed. This stress response has saved your life.
I heard about a race track, so I purchased a truck. A. Through a friend, I heard about RC races every weekend at one of the base parks. B. I purchased a beginner truck, so I could get started racing. III.
Skiing has not only provided me with fun and memorable times that I can enjoy with my friends and family, but also a way of learning life lessons that I can apply to my everyday goals. Skiing the difficulties of the mountain and all the rigorous trails helps prepare me for all the difficulties life can throw my way. I believe there is nothing more satisfying than breathing the crisp cold air at the top of the mountain preparing yourself mentally for the difficult ride down. Being able to see the beautiful views and carve your way down the mountain is a feeling like no other. Skiing is so unique to me because I picture the way the mountain is constructed, and I am able to navigate this placement and relate it to my life situations.
The surge of WW2 vets returning home, most whom could afford a vehicle and had a sense of adventure as well as a desire to test the performance of their machines, gave to the rise of street racing or "Hot Rodding." As a legal and commercially organized sport, it began on Sunday, June 19, 1950. The first organized drag race was held at Santa Ana, California (Roger Chapman). The first legal dragstrip, the Santa Ana, begun on an airfield in Southern California, and quickly gained popularity among the Muroc crowd because of it's revolutionary computerized speed clocks. Drag meets in the US are sanctioned by associations like the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association), AHRA (American Hot Rod Association), and the IHRA (International Hot Rod Association).
The Way the Wind Blows Everyone loves music. Music is everywhere, it pervades our world. Everyone knows music has power and importance. But have you ever stopped to consider why? What it is about music that gives it so much power and importance?
I looked everywhere to find the car’s key and when I found it, I never hesitated and ran to the car. I pressed the key and opened the doors. Finally I was there and happy without knowing what would happen. I started the engine and stepped on the gas. It was the first time for me to drive a car, and I was really good.
Comfort, I feel very comfortable when I am driving my own car. I and my friends visit some new places. I can hear very interesting music of my choice. It warms me up during the winter time, when the snow starts to fall. It protects me to get wet during the rainy season.
