is that faster then a plane when it takes off lol
September 7th, 2009 - 07:17
i like running better
September 7th, 2009 - 07:42
camaro is the only thing we run out here

These cars are strictly exhibition. They dont actually “race”. You can see when they leave the line how late they are off the tree.

Massive fucking brakes to stop the afterburner
September 7th, 2009 - 12:55
top fuels are consistantly well under 5 seconds and capible of hitting sub 4.5’s. these runs were over 5.6
September 7th, 2009 - 16:18
They have a jet car class in the states… but they USUALLY are exhibition only

First you need to get a rule book from your local track or sanctioning body which will explain what they expect for a (aka what's a legal) roll cage. It differs all over the country. The best sources are usually local vs. internet because you can build to your track instead of building a generic roll cage. You can also get a lot of info and help from the people who run the track – they're usually pretty knowledgeable about who to talk to and what to do, and they're happy to help because then they don't have to turn you away for an illegal chassy.

The old Need for Speed games up until Porsche Unleashed had detailed cockpits.
Also the game GT Legends (from the same people that did GTR2) has an detailed inside view.

Aha, looks like you took my advise from a previous answer about considering going to a sportscar race.
If you want to go this year, your choices are limited and the only race left on the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) is at the Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca, Oct 19-21. See link below and scroll to bottom of page.

This link will take you to the Mazda Raceway website which has schedules and ticket information:

The Rolex Series has only one race left on the schedule, but it's next weekend at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah.
Looks like some of the other people who answered your question should take remedial reading. Bristol is an oval race track, it isn't in Southern California and it doesn't host a sportscar race.
By the way, there are no more major events at Infineon Raceway, that last one was on the weekend.
I hope at least some of this is helpful.

This depends on where you will go and which series you would like to see. From Tokyo you can probably watch races at Fuji Speedway or Twin Ring Motegi. Both tracks require either a rental car or a decent knowledge of the train and bus systems. Basically, most people can identify with the JGTC or Super GT as it is known now. If you plan well, you could go to both Sat and Sun. There are many other things going on at the track during the whole weekend. I usually go on Saturday only. That allows me to see the qualifying session for the main series and all of the support series races. Twin Ring Motegi has more to see in terms of the Honda Museum and Historical Car collection. Check the link below for the dates for the races at Twin Ring Motegi and the Super GT series.
If you like formula cars, then maybe the Formula Nippon might be your series to watch.
Fuji Speedway could be a little easier to get to from Tokyo. It still requires you to do your homework. Twin Ring Motegi is a bit harder to get to and needs homework also. Basically, it will take a few trains and some bus rides to get to either of these places from Tokyo.
If you would like to watch some of the smaller motorsports venues, such as D1 drifting, it will take much more homework and effort. Usually the D1 series hold their events on small tracks designed for karting and limited car use. These tracks are way out in the middle of nowhere.
D1 has one event that is very easy to get to from Tokyo. They hold a D1 drift event at the Fuji TV parking lot in Odaiba. The event is fun to attend, there are lots of things besides drifting going on. The event goes on into the night, and during the day they have stunt bikes, bike races, FMX, and kids kart racing.
In my opinion any and all of these events are filled with fun and excitement. Personally, since I ventrured into touring cars years ago, I enjoy the JGTC more because of the cars raced and the series history.
The crap like you see on the movies, that is all fake. One could not drift in a parking lot in Shibuya or the middle of Tokyo.
There is a midnight car scene on the C1 loop of the Shutoko. Also out in Daikokufuto, there are usually people hanging out with all sorts of classic and modern Japanese machinery. Around New Years at Daikokufuto, the Bozozoku and Yankees come out with their crazy cars and ratty sounding bikes. It is a scene.

Search eBay for car seat covers and you will come upon places that can make you car seat covers which make you seats look like racing ones. They are not cheap but certainly not as expensive as new car seats. Also they do custom seats to fit your car model.

its not jet cars, its drag race cars
September 9th, 2009 - 06:35
fuck imagine if they had 1000m
September 9th, 2009 - 08:49
not worth the wait jet cars are slow compared to pro mods…..
September 9th, 2009 - 12:06
its because too many people were getting hurt because they couldn’t slow down on the track. before that some were going in like 2.7-3
September 9th, 2009 - 12:25
The cars are mostly exhibition bt apparently in the US they do have a little championship where they race eahc other. They don’t handicap them, just race off a pro tree. There are plenty of cars that run faster than jet cars, including nitro funny cars and top fuels
September 9th, 2009 - 14:53
The first thing I would do is go to a local track and watch in person. Watch how the cars pull to the line, then ask about the street class. This allows you to use your normal car to race. The better you know the car you race the better off you will be. I raced a 67 VW bug with i started off. Do not go out and buy a car you may not be able to handle at high speeds. Becoming a NHRA member will help as well, they send you a rule book and you can read up on what class you would like to race. Reaction time wins races. Learn how your car launches.

Keith Code's "A twist of the wrist" is about motorcycle racing but the same theories apply. It is not the entrance speed to a corner but the the exit speed leading to the next straight. He breaks it down into a dollar per turn, if you speed into a corner too fast you spend pennies braking, more pennies going too deep and even more pennies getting out of the turn at a slower speed and have to make speed on the straight. Go in at the right speed, hit the right apex with the right brakes and exit at a higher speed, top speeds being equal the faster exit will reach top speed quicker and carry top speed far the to the next brake point.
A VERY good easy to understand read.

The cars might look alike but there is a huge difference. On speed, Indy cars are faster but this is more due to the type of track that they race on. You can go flat out better on an oval track than a track with turns and chicanes. And especially now that F1 uses V8s instead of the V10s. On an oval track you make very few gear changes while on a specially designed F1 track as more as 3,000 gear changes. On the design, F1 cars a built with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. And each car has a specific aero specification for each circuit. The FIA have limited development on very few areas of the car. So that's were geniuses like Adrian Newey and Rory Byrne work their magic. On tracks like Monaco cars use more downforce. In F1, teams have to construct their own chassis while in IRL they are allowed to buy it. F1 is also the riches with Team Mclaren-Mercedes being the highest spender for 2005. An F1, team employs about 500 or more people for engine development, aero and etc. And in terms of popularity, F1 is reportedly the second most watched sporting event next to the World Cup.

You may want to try Centripedal Force i.e. Turnings and slopes..
But it has some stuff to do with Physics as well.
Also you may want to find the maximum and minumum speeds at turnings. Include Frictional Force and try to minimize it using Calculus.
Take Simple Circuits like circles, oval, parabola etc. Then take their equations and use calculus to find area under the curve etc. etc.
Well thatz all comes to my mind for now!!
BEST OF LUCK..

Well, there are tons of great car films, but not too many good racing films.
Best one to come to my head is Days of Thunder (1990).
There are of course otheres such as:
The Fast and the Furious[s]
Talledaga Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
Cars (2006)
The Great Race (1965)
The Love Bug (1968)
Speed Racer (2008)
Death Race 2000 (1975)
Driven (2001)

madforgames u are a fuckin idiot. those are jet cars and yes they are for exhibition because witht the jet lag etc it would never be fair and try figuring out a handicap for a car that goes 300mph. and codfan ur a dumbfuck cuz any jet car will beat the highest modded car money can get you. send me a video of a modded drag car (no jet) running a 4.5 sec 1/4 mile. dumbfucks
September 10th, 2009 - 17:50
They can run nearly as quick as a fuel car… they very rarely open them up completely. I have been at a few races where they have run in the 320 – 330 mph range at roughly 4.10 or so
