So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Vehicular Types Of Dirt Track Racing

By Maria Carter


Dirt track racing is a type of race which is performed in an oval shaped track that has a floor surface of a clay or dirt. This is the most common type of auto racing in some other countries. They have a lot of racing tracks in their local and regional places.

Two kinds of vehicles which are commonly used are open wheel racers and stock cars. Open wheel racer is being manufactured with a tubular frame and with a body that is being purchased only for that class type. Stock cars are varied by the major automakers by its chassis in a full tube frame and body models made out from aluminum. Dirt track racing Arkansas can be one best example for places in this type of race.

Some race vehicles are also made available and are used aside from the two. A hybrid of open wheel cars and stock cars are called the modified cars. Sanctioning bodies are controlling this type in most of the tracks. They have a different book of rules and of guidelines.

A kind of car that is built just for this competition is the non production car. It is composed of tubular frames that are welded and also has purchased and customized bodies. Late models, late model stock, limited late models, and crate models are the different kinds of full bodied cars.

A model that is constructed with tube frame chassis, steel and aluminum bodies that can give an appearance of a race car. Types like this are usually expensive. There are equipment for this which is more cheaper, but what is important is staying competitive and choose the expensive one.

Limited and late model stock have similarities in the body parts. The only difference between the two is the motor rules. Limited model has limitations when talking about its engine. And for the stock model, it has more limitations on its engines. Many sanctioning bodies have different variations on these rules. Coordination for the requirements allow the drivers to compete in many different racetracks and they will have a higher chance of winning.

Crate late models have engines that has a special tag. These tags are sealed at the intake manifold, front cover, cylinder head, and oil pan. These models cannot be altered, changed, and modified from its factory specifications. Sponsoring organizations have rules in outlining each class of race car that includes the dimensions, engine size, equipment requirements, and prohibitions.

Even if this competition is popular and is very known, avoidance of accidents is impossible. Safety barriers on the walls and on along the sides of track are not present in some tracks of other places. Drivers also have different interior head and neck restraints which are necessary and are most required to major tracks.

Owners of some small racetracks could not afford of buying equipment that are expensive. Standards fro safety regulations are not also being highlighted by some sanctioning bodies. In adding up these common problems would definitely result to deadly situations. Bad addiction would be the term that is considered to some people who loves this game so much.
