Auto Racing

Mike Walthrip owns both the truck and car teams, drivers of both teams have varied, however, David Ruitaman (not sure on the spelling) drives the nascar car, the bush car varies as does the truck. side note: big money & politics play a part in Nascar.

The Bugatti Veyron, it clocked 252.95 MPH.

On June 19, 1949, Sara Christian became the first woman to compete in a Nascar event. The series was then known as "Strictly Stock". On July 10, 1949, Louise Smith and Ethel Mobley became the second and third women to compete. Janet Guthrie was the first woman to compete in a Winston Cup Series event.

Two drag racing cars go to the starting position, and the drivers wait for a light to turn from red to green. As soon as the light turns green, they floor the gas pedal and go as fast as they can up to the finish line. Then, the drivers deploy the parachute so they can stop, because a braking system would just weigh down the machine, and brakes are not adequate to stop a drag racing car from going over 300 miles an hour to 0. Then, the winners is announced with the exact times, and they start over with another pair of cars.

It's impossible to give an exact number because haulers are custom-built, but the manufacturer, Featherlite, says the base price for the trailer is $250,000. You then need to add $140,000 to $150,000 for a tractor to pull it, and then all the stuff you have to put in it to make it usable at the speedway and legal on the public roads...half a million dollars should cover it.

I think it's Felipe Massa, I'm not too sure.

The first race was won by Dick Hire from Hire auto parts on the 3/8 dirt track driving what was believed to be a 1934 Ford coupe, The last race was won by Gene Turner driving a 1955 Ford owned by the woods brothers, Delphas, And Williard. The track then had been changed to asphalt.

The fastest car company is the bagatti and that is my favourite car it goes fast and it goes smoothe

Hendrick Motorsports is located at: 4411 Papa Joe Hendrick Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28262.

Ferrari began racing in Formula 1 in 1950, the inaugural season.

Basically, how fast your car is is what determines what class you run in, when it comes to bracket racing. They wikk have brackets from, say, 14.99 and slower, 12.50 to 13.99, 10.99, to 12.49, and so on. In class racing you build a car to compete in a certain class, by the rules governed by NHRA, in their official rule book.

Talladega Superspeedway has the steepest banking in the turns. Turns 1 and 2 have 33 degrees of banking. Turn 3 is 32.4 degrees and turn 4 is 32.5 degrees.

Most of the weight of the dragster (or rail job, or whatever) has been located at the rear so that the rear wheels get the most traction that they can. Since there is relatively little weight on the front wheels, they can be lighter duty than, say, a stock motor vehicle. A narrow wheel and hub will serve for the light load, and a narrow tire inflated to a high pressure has a low rolling friction compared to an ordinary auto tire. The hub bearings can be light duty and low friction as well, all adding up to lower rolling resistance and lower elapsed times for the dragster.

The F1 Singapore Grand Prix is held in the evening because to satisfy the European audience ,which is a big territory for F1 (so the race would be broadcasted live in the afternoon through out Europe) and also Bernie Ecclestone wants to experiment with evening races with the potential to add more evening races in the future, Australian GP for an example.

Nowadays a driver definitely needs a drafting partner at Talladega and Daytona if they want to succeed. Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are the two current winningest drivers at Talladega.

The last four seasons have been dominated by the drivers of Richard Childress Racing and Roush Fenway Racing (this includes the 2013 victory of David Ragan running RFR equipment provided to Front Row Motorsports).

== Usain Bolt holds the current land speed record. He is the fastest man alive. ==

That is difficult to answer. Jeremy has more supercross and motocross wins and titles, however Travis has not just focused on these 2 areas. Travis has competed and been successful in freestyle, X-Games, rally cars as well as running the Enduro at Erzberg, Supermoto and the Baja desert race.
