think of two things: speed and sport. Ferrari is one of the most distinguished cars in history. It has won more races than almost any other cars racing. It is also just delicate a machine as it is the fast and furious sports car. Ferrari has come a great distance since its begins in the stock races onto the modern road. It has been compared with such great cars as the Bugatti and Alfa Romeo. In my report I will tell you the beginning and the future of this famous sports car. The Maker The man who made
big that it made more than half the cars sold in the United States and the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust division was threatening to break it up(to prevent Monopolies, Like how Standard oil was broken up). In the 21st century, it's almost hard to imagine how powerful GM was in the 50s and 60s. Sports cars from Europe were getting popular, because of servicemen coming back from WWII, and wanted sports cars, but American Automakers didn't make sports cars, so they would either buy foreign,
Automobile racing is often thought to be a rather unsafe sport, but it actually happens to be the safest sport on four wheels. Yes, there are wrecks that happen at very high speeds in automobile racing, but that does not mean that it is an unsafe sport to be a part of. There are many safety advancements such as a HANS device and catch fences, and many more. The people that run these different styles and sanctions of automobile racing are always working there hardest to improve the safety of the fans
Investigating Osmosis in Potato Tissue Aim To estimate the concentration of sucrose in potato tissue. Hypothesis ========== I believe that the potato tissue that has been in the hypotonic (0.1M sucrose) solution will be more turgid than before, while the tissue in the isotonic (0.3M sucrose) will be similar to its previous state. The tissue that has been in the hypertonic (0.5M sucrose) should be far more placid than it was before. This is because of osmosis - water diffusing
Lawler 1 One of the many cars that came out of the mid 80s to early 90s was the Dodge Daytona. The Dodge Daytona is a 2 door sports car made from 1984 through 1993. The trims include the standard Dodge Daytona, Daytona Turbo, Daytona Turbo Z, Daytona Turbo Z C/S, Daytona Pacifica, Daytona Shelby Z, Daytona ES, Daytona C/S, Daytona Shelby, Daytona IROC and Daytona IROC R/T.

world of racing is not as well-known as it was before because not many people of this new generation consider automobile racing to be a viable career due to financial constraints as well as the required dedication and luck. Nonetheless, international automobile racing is an exciting career because it is a daring and challenging sport where drivers compete to see who holds the title of the best driver in the world, as it gives you amazing benefits such as publicity. I believe automobile racing is a great
coined the term supercar, such collaborative effort as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche have established the paradigm of the supercar. The supercar is a high-end race-ready production car, a mark of status and exclusivity, and traditionally, European in origin. Their clean lines and subtle flares reflect the motor sport lineages, most of which date back to the beginning of the automobile. The concept of the supercar was largely uncomfortable in America at the beginning of the 20th century but has since
The word supercar is thrown around describing various high performance cars, but only applying to few. This begs the question; what makes a car a supercar? There are many factors that a vehicle must satisfy before it can be considered a supercar. A few of these factors include, performance, brand name, and exclusivity. Performance is made up of three parts: handling, power, and speed. Brand name is important because of heritage and history. Exclusivity is important because of its rarity, price,
of Italian car stylists. The BZ-2001 is the work of Giotto Bizzarrini whose portfolio includes many past exotic cars. Right now, the BZ-2001 rides on the tubular chassis of a Ferrari Testarossa, and is powered by the Ferrari’s 380-horsepower flat-12-cylinder engine. But true to past Bizzarrini designs, plans are afoot to switch to American small-block V-8 power, and to discard the Ferrari’s frame for a chassis built solely of carbon fiber. With more power and less weight than the car has now, performance
The green flag drops on the first race in The National Dirt Racing Association(NDRA). It doesn’t matter where people go, on some little road in a small town, people will find a small dirt track. The speedways are mostly always located in city areas where a large amount of people live. After a weekend of racing the teams head to the shop to fix the car up again. Despite the fact, that racing had been around since before 1978; whenever Mr. Robert Smawley introduced NDRA, and later Mr. Bill France

some in Mexico and Canada. Before Bill France started NASCAR, racing was a very dishonest business where the promoters often stole money from the drivers. France believed that if racing became an organization with rules it would become an honest type of business. In December 1947, France asked many drivers and promoters to meet in Daytona Beach, Florida to create racing rules. NASCAR was created on February 21, 1948 and starting out racing on a track that was half sand and half asphalt. The track was
Racing Her Way Into History “I just understand that if you put the hard work in before you go out there that you can have a little peace of mind knowing that you’ve done everything you can and just let it happen.” Danica Patrick had been a very powerful role model to women everywhere. She has changed history and society for women by being the first woman to win the Daytona 500 poll or any NASCAR premier series event, breaking the NASCAR barrier between men and women, and also winning Japan’s Indy
Prohibition, and the development of the sport NASCAR NASCAR wasn’t always one of America’s favorite things to watch or a multimillion-dollar sport. It was actually inspired by criminal activity during the twentieth century. How racecars became part of American life goes back to the early days of prohibition and how gangsters avoided the law. During this time temperance organizations wanted to restrict or abolish the consumption of alcoholic beverages. By the early 20th century, women’s groups throughout
The idea of this super car was to be simple yet complexed, small yet lite, very lite, astronomically light. The car was there first of its kind using space age technology, the whole body of the car was composed of carbon fiber, the wheels Magnesium alloy, and the underpinnings titanium. Tis is only but a scratch,Wilson stated each McLaren was made up of 5000 the lightest of the materials on the planet including the three I listed. Nowadays we take this space age technology for granted, for it is
Comparing a Sports Car and Minivan I have always been a sports car lover, but when my family increased in size to the point that finding a sports car that would meet my needs would be almost impossible, I decided to consider a minivan. While a sports car was an unrealistic possibility, giving it up would not be easy. The sports car and the minivan would both fulfill the basic requirement of reliable transportation, but I had to consider the differences among size, maneuverability and affordability
As a car enthusiast you can agree that the GTR and the ZR1 are both amazing sports cars. Having a sports car is all about going fast. The GTR and the ZR1 are both fast cars but one is better that the other. It's not all about going fast in a straight line handling is also key. Track days in America are on the rise and having a fun sports car makes it all the better. And the Nissan and Chevy are both track inspired cars. These cars are both in the hundred thousand dollar range so they are both good
shameless. With its new advertisement of the Viper SRT-10, Dodge has clearly captured some of our society’s view on money; do whatever it takes to get it. It pictures an old wealthy man and his beautiful, young bride with a brand new Dodge Viper sports car sitting in the background. In our days of Anna Nicole Smith and countless other gold digging Playboy bunnies, not to mention all of the not-so-famous people doing the same thing, this ad truly fits into our time and culture. In fact, if this ad
Stock car racing has evolved a great amount since 1920’s when racing first started. The cause of racing was because of the Prohibition. The 18th amendment banned the production and possession of alcohol. So people had to make their own liquor, called moonshine. In order to make money from liquor, part of the job was to deliver it to their customers, but with the law enforcements trying to obey the new law, Moonshiners had to make their runs at night. They also had to use vehicles that would blend
As we pull into the racetrack I look around. There are a ton of trailers which means a ton of cars, which also means a ton of people. Aside from all the diversity we all love the same thing, racing. We all unite together, we are all there for the same reason and we all have the same goal. To win the Kyle Larson Outlaw Kart Showcase. One day, two Nascar drivers, three classes, over 225 cars. The biggest outlaw kart race in history to ever be held, and I’m apart of it. I can feel the tension of everyone
