Wheel - Open Encyclopedia Wheels can be fastened on an axle, which when fitted to a third object such as a vehicle body, will efficiently impart the energy of the converted linear motion to that body. Land vehicles without wheels are the hovercraft, the electro-magnetic monorail, and relying on surface conditions the sled, the snowboard and/or skis. The combination of the wheel with the wedge produced the toothed gear, which was fundamental to the advent of industrial class complex machines. open-encyclopedia.com /Wheel   (718 words)

Open wheel car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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). Open wheel car is a term for cars, usually purpose-built racecars, with the wheels located outside the car's main body, as distinct from cars which have their wheels below the body or fenders, in the manner of most street cars, stock cars, or touring cars. A typical open-wheeler has a minimal cockpit sufficient only to enclose the driver's body, with the head exposed to the air. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Open-wheeler   (442 words)

Sports: Win-win for Open Wheel, St. Petersburg Open Wheel estimated in court papers such litigation could be as much as $30-million, according to the Associated Press.

Open Wheel Racing: NASCAR’s Talent Pool May Find Its Roots There That is why a young Jeff Gordon bolted the open wheel racers to head to NASCAR in 1991 for two seasons in the Busch Series before beginning his magical Winston Cup career in 1993. For nearly nine decades it was the dream of practically every grass roots, oval track, open wheel race driver in the United States to one day drive in the Indianapolis 500. "Steve Hmiel told me one time the reason they liked open wheel guys is when they race the Midgets, they have to get every bit out of it that they can and race within inches of each other, but they can't touch them because they will crash bad," East says. www.stockcarracing.com /thehistoryof/1592   (2679 words)

DraftHelp.com - Open Wheel Information 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. If you love open wheel racing as I do, this weekend’s race is the one that you wait all year to see.

Formula 1/CART Open Wheel Racers The wheel selection for this car was also disappointing...the spare tire on this doesn't match at all. This is a 1/43rd scale model of unknown heritage that appears to be an early/mid-70s Formula Junior/F3/F5000-type racer, definitely not a Formula 1 Lotus as the green paint and as the "Mailboro" paintwork suggests. Hesketh was one of the few firms still adhering to the Formula 1 aero ethics of Tyrell as the 1970s wore on, sponsorship crept in, and both budgets and technology began to leap ahead. www.cublea.net /p2p/hwf1   (2523 words)

Sports: Open Wheel's owners optimistic CART announced losses in excess of $84-million last year, and Open Wheel bought that problem and many more plus assets and promotional rights to certain races, including the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, before CART filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. But the essence of their message was this: They are wealthy men, but more important smart men, businessmen, and they know what they've gotten into. PIT STOPS: Indy Racing League officials said Friday that a review of accident data recording information was unable to pinpoint the reason why Tony Renna's car went in the grass, then airborne and into the debris fence, killing the DeLand resident on Oct. 22 during a tire test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. www.sptimes.com /2003/12/21/news_pf/Sports/Open_Wheel_s_owners_o.shtml   (931 words)

Open wheel racing The ideal situation for "ovals" would be to specify front engine, rear wheel driven, open wheel race cars and let the rear engine cars run road courses. It seems like the main problem in Indy type racing today is that fans can not relate to the drivers or the cars. This would allow the American midget, sprint, or silver bullet drivers to have an advantage and would be inovative. www.indianapolismotorspeedway.net /_disc/000000b6.htm   (120 words)

Encyclopedia: Indy Racing League Originally, the cars were somewhat unique, being designed specifically for oval racing; for example, the oil and cooling systems were asymetrical to account for the pull of liquids to the right side of the cars. Unlike with road racing venues, the lack of run-offs on oval tracks, coupled with higher, sometimes far higher, speeds due to the long straightaways and symetrical turns, means that there is simply far less margin for error. The IRL was also the first race series to adopt the new SAFER soft wall safety system, which debuted at the Indianapolis 500 and is now scheduled to be installed at almost all major oval racing circuits. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Indy-Racing-League   (969 words)

Stock car racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There are several categories of stock car racing, each with slightly different rules, but the key intention of cars that look like production cars, but with near-identical specifications underneath, remains true. This term was used to differentiate such a car from a race car, a special, custom-built car designed only for racing purposes with no intent of its ever being used as regular transportation. Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly in the United States held largely on banked concrete oval tracks of between approximately 1/2 mile and 2.66 miles (about 0.8 to 4.2 kilometres) in length, but also raced occasionally on conventional racing circuits. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stock_car_racing   (969 words)
