Lawnmower Racing Research Paper
Lawnmower racing is a type of motor-sport where participants race modified riding lawnmowers. Basically, a lawnmower is a machine having a rotating blade for cutting grass; however, even though the original mower engines are maintained, the blades are removed for safety. Nearly all of the machines used in these races are older ones that racers remodel for racing. Lawn mower racing is founded firmly in the use of both standard mower engines and chassis. This competition attracts all ages.

There are mainly three types of mowers. One is the gas-engined, cylinder-driven mower. Another type is the wheel-driven mowers. These are somewhat weighty and large but offer better grip in slippery conditions. Finally, wheel-driven machines are the most popular.

    Motorcycle And Sweetgrass Analysis

    Comedy is a form of cognitive reappraisal, which Drew Hayden Taylor effectively integrates throughout Motorcycles and Sweetgrass to address tragic issues. Personally, I agree with Thomas King, that bombarding the reader with tragedy only results in their lack of interest. I believe that Taylor masters the use of humour to introduce sinister issues; he uses humour as a lubricating tool to ease the tension of the plot and maintain the readers engagement. Particularly, in chapter fourteen, I was intrigued by the way that Taylor glazes over the concept of the fallibility of humanity through Virgil's visit with Wayne. Due to their lack of knowledge, Virgil, and sadly, the entire population of Otter Lake, fall victim of humanity’s tendency to judge…

    Carter Racing Case Study Response: to Race or Not to Race?

    Carter Racing Case Study Response: to Race or Not to Race?

    In this case, Carter Racing has to make a decision under pressure about whether or not to race given they have experienced engine failure at a rate of 29%. Based on the opinion of the engine mechanic, temperature is a key driver in the cause of engine failure and Carter Racing has never raced in such a cold temperature (40 deg F). The data (only 7 data points) gathered by a more senior mechanic, who designed the turbo-charging system, does not demonstrate a correlation between temperature and gasket failures. There are three possible scenarios to consider. First, if they race and win, Carter Racing stands to gain a $1 million sponsorship from Goodstone and the team will feel an immense sense of pride. However, if luck allows them to win, Carter Racing also stands the chance of dismissing the engine failure issues in preparation for future races. Second, if they race and experience engine failure, Carter Racing will face their biggest blow up on national television at a major event; not to mention the loss of substantial new sponsorships from Goodstone and their existing $500k oil contract. Third, if Carter Racing chooses to withdraw, the team morale will be negatively impacted and their reputation with key sponsors may be in limbo. Withdrawal will also leave them $50k in the hole for the season. Based on the lack of additional corroborating data to disprove the temperature theory and the amount of financial incentive and reputation on the line, my recommendation is for Carter Racing to withdraw and keep their driver/car safe instead of hoping luck will be on their side. Carter Racing can use this as an opportunity to test and refine the turbo-charging system, get back on stable-footing and attract the attention of major sponsors next…

    Sports are massive in the entertainment industry, many people across the world enjoy watching them and there are all kinds of sports. My personal favorite sport to do and to watch is BMX. The usual time people can watch BMX is during the Summer X-Games, an intense sporting event focused around the less popular sports including: skateboarding, bike riding, rally racing, and during the Winter X-Games, snowboarding. Something that really got me into BMX, was seeing Dave Mirra land the very first double backflip on a BMX bike. This was even done at the X-Games, during the event, BMX best trick.…

    Essay On Street Racing

    When it comes to the topic of street racing, most people agree that it is dangerous. While this is true, there is a question on whether it should be legal or not. It is becoming a bigger epidemic with more movies like The Fast and the Furious or Need for Speed, movies that are based around street racing. In an online article, Jack Baruth, a former street racer, said: “You cannot kill street racing. You can't even discourage it. Not entirely. As long as young men (and it is overwhelmingly young men) can get their hands on a vehicle of some type, there is going to be illegal racing.” Even though street racing is illegal, people are still going to find ways to do it. Why not make something legal and allow it to be regulated by officials if it’s not going to stop any time soon? For the safety of drivers and watchers, street racing should be legalized, enforcing new rules, and having officials to oversee races.…
