Where did travis pastrana grow up?
It was based on him wanting to win so bad that his parents never let Travis go to school so he could just ride,ride, and ride some more. It was a good thing that his parents did that or else Travis wouldn't be living his wonderful life that he has right now. When Travis was 4 years old, he got his first motorcycle and wanted to start racing at about 4 years and one minute!!! Later, Travis started attending Loretta Lynn's amatuer national and really showed his speed. His strong desire to win is what makes him our hero today and his determination from coming back from injuries was incredible. So, either if it was luck or it was just hard work and focus is what makes him a Supercross, Motocross, and Motocross of Nations champion, Freestyle, and Rally Car champion. Thanks Travis for showing us what can be done on a motorcycle using major determination and the act of never never never NEVER NEVER GIVING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! he never ever ever ever gave up and he won RBI student ministries 1990 Spring Valley Road Tuscumbia,AL Real People Real Church

How does a click type torque wrench work?
Well I'm not sure if you want the complete mechanical end of things... But i know some...
The wrench will have usually a turn type of an adjuster on the handle specifying torque amount. It works as a ratchet wrench until you hit the specified torque and you'll feel and also hear the wrench head and handle make a loud click when you hit that desired setting.
"If you keep trying to ratchet the wrench will net let you go anymore it will just keep clicking until you change the torque amount up on the dial"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That last statement is false- The wrench will continue to tighten the bolt/nut after it clicks. It will only click once which is when the tension 'Pawl' flicks to the side as the side tension out muscles the spring tension (torque setting you have set). Once it has flicked to the side it cannot go any further so will continue to tighten if you go past that point. If you ratchet back and have another go that is different but once you hear the click do not continue in the direction of tightening. It is very different to how say your 24V cordless drill would work.
Drifting is not a sport. It is what people use in the sport called NASCAR.
In a race would a turbo charched 1.6 liter SOHC d16z6 beat a turbo charged 1.6 liter DOHC B16a?
actually no it wont... i currently have a b16a turbo and so far no d series motor has beaten me.. but it all depends on the mods if the d series motor is fully built and the b16 motor only has a turbo and is completely stock than u might be competition to the b series motor singel cam d16 has a lower compresion to start with and can handle higher boost than a b16. and most races are won on gear ratio rather than sure hoars power. so set up is key. remember there is more to a car than a motor. suspension and tires are in most cases more important than raw power. power is nothing if you cant get it to the ground.
Very popular started out in Japan now it is also a motorsport in Europe and America
There are a number of strong street racing organizations across the USA, but the country is so large that it would practically be impossible to determine top status, compared to Japan which has a much smaller land mass.
