Open wheel car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Open wheel car is a term for cars with the wheels located outside the car's main body. Open wheel cars contrast with street cars, stock cars, or touring cars which have their wheels below the body or fenders. The visibility of the wheels to the driver makes a high degree of precision possible in their placement; on the other hand, wheel-to-wheel contact is dangerous, particularly when the forward edge of one tire contacts the rear of another tire, and is suddenly and powerfully flung upwards. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/open_wheel   (397 words)

Sports: Win-win for Open Wheel, St. Petersburg Otte ruled for Open Wheel because he thought the IRL bid could be devalued by possible litigation from cities in Canada, Mexico and the United States that lost events.

Last check: ) When Indy Racing League star Tony Stewart decided to leave open wheel racing and sign with team owner Joe Gibbs, that was yet another major sign of a migration in progress. That advice is very useful as Leffler continues to adapt to the vast differences between an open wheel racing machine and a stock car.

Open-wheel - WOI Encyclopedia Italia In modern cars, the engine is located directly behind the driver, and drives the rear wheels. However, because the cars do not particularly resemble road cars, and the aerodynamics favour leading drivers over tailing ones thus making overtaking difficult (not to mention the fragility of the cars making the bumping and jostling common in touring and stock car racing impossible), only a few open-wheel categories draw significant crowds. Although the lower weight of an open wheel racecar allows for better performance, the exposure of the wheels to the airstream causes a very high aerodynamic drag at high speeds (the top of the tire is moving at double the speed of the car, and aerodynamic drag force varies with the square of the speed). www.wheelsofitaly.com /wiki/index.php/Open-wheel   (426 words)

DraftHelp.com - Open Wheel Information If you love open wheel racing as I do, this weekend’s race is the one that you wait all year to see. This is especially the case right now as the brain surgeons who have destroyed American open wheel have rendered the rest of the season only quasi-watchable. While the powers-that-be in American open wheel racing are too short-sighted and greedy to recognize that the current racing scene is diluted with two separate circuits, we at Drafthelp.com are acutely aware of that. www.drafthelp.com /OpenWheel_Fantasy.htm   (538 words)

NASCAR Talent Pool in Open Wheel Racing - The History Of - Stock Car Racing Magazine More and more grass roots, oval track, open wheel race drivers still dream of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, only in a NASCAR Winston Cup car in the Brickyard 400, not in an Indy Racing League machine in the Indianapolis 500.

Sports: Open wheel's other woman If her youthful passion was going to become her career, allow her to channel that persistence through her fingertips to the steering wheel of a race car, this was going to be her best and perhaps last shot. It would be understandable for Kalkhoven to push Legge to the forefront of his marketing efforts considering Champ Car and open wheel racing in general could use the publicity. The subject of gentlemen's magazine photo spreads and increasingly racy track and IRL promotions last year, the 23-year-old Patrick has come to symbolize, for some, style over substance although she was the IRL rookie of the year. www.sptimes.com /2006/03/04/Sports/Open_wheel_s_other_wo.shtml   (1130 words)

AP Blog: Writer's true love is open-wheel - Boston.com The Daytona 500 has surpassed Indy as the biggest race in America and, even with Danicamania bringing renewed TV ratings and some serious national interest back to the 500 last year, everyone involved knows open-wheel racing is still in deep trouble. One of the first things I see after opening my eyes is an older fan meticulously adjusting his Jeff Gordon flag attached to his SUV so that it will flap just right in the breeze. He was staying at a hotel across the street from the track and told me he spent most of the night prior to the opening practice standing at the window and staring at the concrete barriers that line most of the track. www.boston.com /sports/other_sports/autoracing/articles/2006/04/09/ap_blog_race_day_rituals_remain_the_same/?page=full   (4231 words)

RacingPress.com Feature Story :: Twenty questions for open-wheel racing fans   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The era was marked by creativity and ingenuity, moving American open wheel racing from the almost spec Offy roadsters to team -built rear engined ‘funny’ cars, then to race cars with wings and finally, regrettably, the mass produced just-write-a-check March, Lola, and Reynard variations on the champ car theme. Danicamania may be the sign that the next great chapter in American open wheel racing is now being written, and perhaps the latest round of CART/IRL reconciliation rumors signifies the much-needed reunification is about to become reality. Or, should the new, unified open wheel series just create a spec, safe-as-can-be tub and fuel cell, and then let all the teams and manufacturer’s produce their own steering, suspension, sidepods, etc.? www.racingpress.com /publish/btsurvey062405.shtml   (848 words)
