The Physics Behind Drag Racing

Posted on by Gerard

The Physics Behind Drag Racing – This is a big question that brings together a lot of what we’ve discussed in other HowStuffWorks posts about drag. And, apparently, there is an easy way to learn how much your car is worth.

In the article How Force, Power, Torque and Energy Work you learned about Newton’s second law, which we can also state if force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a).

The Physics Behind Drag Racing

What this equation means is that the force applied to the car causes your car to accelerate. When you drive at a constant speed, the power generated in the engine is converted to the tires. Gravity acts in the opposite direction and is equal to the force the engine produces on the tires. Since these forces are equal and opposite, the net force on the car is zero, so the car has a constant …

The History And Evolution Of Drag Racing

Posted on by Gerard

The History And Evolution Of Drag Racing – When the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) was formed in 1951 by Wally Parks, the founding purpose was to “create order out of chaos” by establishing safety rules and performance standards that helped the legalization of the sport of racing. Some organization was definitely needed. The post-war boom in automotive enthusiasm reached new heights, and Hot Rod magazine and the NHRA were in on it.

The NHRA hosted its first drag racing event in 1953, and in 1955, the organization held its first national event, known as “The Nationals”. The AHRA was formed in 1956 as a replacement for the NHRA, which voted on rules (rather than sanctioning bodies and tracks), and its influence on the sport was felt almost immediately.

When the NHRA banned the use of nitromethane in 1957, the AHRA approved it. …

Endurance Racing Car Maintenance Tips

Posted on by Gerard

Endurance Racing Car Maintenance Tips – For new drivers, getting behind the wheel for the first time is an exciting and freeing experience. The ability to drive anywhere without having to rely on someone else is like no other. However, while driving schools across the country teach students of all ages the importance of following the rules of the road, there is one aspect they do not cover: proper car maintenance.

Both new and used vehicles require more than just a car wash every so often to keep them in good condition and running efficiently. Cars also require regular or routine maintenance. Although more in-depth maintenance will depend on the type of car you own (such as gas, electric, hybrid or diesel-powered engine), many important maintenance tasks can benefit all vehicles.
