Book Description
This is a book of statistics using the Spot Form and the Top Speed ratings for horses of the Racing Post. The results are laid out in a set of tables in this book. The first three Spot Forms and the first three Top Speeds ratings taken from each race of the first six races every day; during a period of just over year; 406 days giving a total of 2436 races. To this I also applied 9 different types of bets; singles, doubles, trebles, patents*2, lucky 15's*2, alpha bets and lucky 63's. This included their Each-Way counterparts as well making 18 bets in all. My aim was to find out which application provided the most winners and which types of bets if applied would produce the most profit. This book shows the end results of this research with 16 tables.

Auto Racing in Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont
Author: Marc P. Singer
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738515151
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont has an extensive and legendary tradition of automobile racing. Soon after 1904, when the first car was registered in Charlotte, autos became a part of everyday life. Car racing was just around the bend: an open-road race was run through Charlotte as early as 1908. Many drivers themselves have hailed from the area, and some are said to have received early training by running moonshine and outrunning authorities. Probably the best-known aspect of Carolina racing is the Queen City's involvement since 1949 with NASCAR, which hosts many of its big names and operations. Auto Racing in Charlotte and the Carolina Piedmont explores the story behind the various forms of the sport, the kinds of people who have raced, and the reasons why they have done so. Historic photographs-many never before published-trace the history of NASCAR and look beyond the professional aspect to include the dragracers, wannabees, kids, and just plain amateurs participating in this cultural phenomenon. The story includes the first formal oval track, constructed entirely of wooden planks and opened in 1925. Other famous Charlotte locations, including professional dirt tracks, drag strips, and even a paved track dedicated to Soap Box Derby, are also revisited. Images of fans, mechanics, and hangers-on round out this singular journey of racing in the Carolinas.

Pages : 321
Book Description
Racing Green is the story of how motorsport science has become smarter and more environmentally friendly, and how these developments on the track are changing the world.Motor racing is the most scientifically demanding sport in the world: a combination of peak physical and mental skill, world-class mechanical nous and technological innovation. Ideas first pioneered during races - from ABS brakes to crash helmets - have been incorporated into car designs around the world to improve racing safety. And cleaner technologies first trialled and improved in modern racing are also informing the designs of everyday vehicles, such as better electric cars and more efficient fuels and tyres.Racing Green is the story of how motorsport science has changed the world, helping it become smarter and more environmentally friendly. From the radical shake-ups of safety in the 1970s through to innovations such as the lithium-ion battery, this book explores the science that has been translated from racing to the road. It looks at the history of motor racing, both its glories and its tragedies, and demonstrates how these moments led to some of the most important modern developments we see in car design today. It explores how motor racing is not only at the cutting edge of modern engineering, but also human psychology and physiology, both of which are integral to creating a winning car and driver. Author Kit Chapman is a lifelong motorsports fan who has previously worked with Virgin Racing's Formula E team to explore the chemistry and material science of their racing cars. With cooperation from his wide range of contacts in the industry, he goes behind the scenes of the current breakthroughs to show where motorsport is likely to take us in the future, picking up extraordinary tales along the way, such as the maverick designer Warren Mosler, who designed a car that was so fast he wasn't allowed to race it. Racing Green is a mix of travelogue and historical retrospective, combining visits to the experts and discussing the science with retellings of real-life incidents that represent milestones in modern car development.

Tommy Hinnershitz, the Life and Times of an Auto-Racing Legend
Author: Gary Ludwig
Publisher: Basket Road Press
ISBN: 9780981509945
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Many have called him the greatest dirt-track Sprint car driver of all time. This exciting biography of Tommy Hinnershitz, by veteran writer Gary Ludwig, is a superb account of the life and times of this racecar driver who became an auto-racing legend. This beautifully printed hardcover book is a fascinating history of the Sprint car, telling how it evolved, beginning during the first few years of the 1900s, to become the true American racecar. Racing and winning on the dusty dirt horse tracks at state and county fairs across America earned Hinnershitz a chance to race in the Indianapolis 500. On the dirt he was there at the beginning, one of a handful of daredevil athletes, the champions who invented the broad slide; going in low and coming off high, or vice versa. After leading the way, setting the pace, and developing the style, Hinnershitz set himself apart from all the others; he went in high and stayed there. This history of his life and amazing career includes over 20 pages of photographs and his complete race-by-race career statistics. Hinnershitz was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. This first edition book is already becoming a treasured collector's item for thousands of Hinnershitz's fans.
