Go Cart Racing in Today's Economy
Go cart racing is not necessarily a cheap sport, but when compared to motor racing the cost is significantly lower. Many of today's parents worry about the safety of allowing their children to enter into the world of go carts. In a world where we need a helmet for everything, the idea of allowing children to speed around the race track in small versions of racing cars seems counter intuitive, but in reality it isn't as dangerous as most people think. The go cart track has obvious safety regulations, from chronic inspection of the go carts to the required safety equipment and track maintenance. This makes the sport generally safer in principle than riding a bike or rollerblading. Few of us inspect...
"> If you've ever tried selling your photos in the form of a photo product such as an original framed print, a limited edition signed poster, or a canvas photo print, you'd know that it takes LOTS of effort to do. In fact the whole process can end up being downright tedious. After all, just consider the work and time involved... you have to figure out how to print the photograph up, find the right frame (if framing it), package it securely, find a good courier that'll transport it safely and cheaply, and so on. In fact, the time and effort it takes to do all this is likely the one key factor that stops many photographers from actually going ahead and doing it! You'd be right to think that there must...

F1 Silly Season Gets Crazy With BMW Withdrawal
As with most forms of motorsport, F1 has its silly season where rumors fly about drivers moving from one team to another. The odd thing about the silly season in 2009 is many of the rumors may come true now that BMW has given up the ghost in Formula One. BMW will stop participating in Formula One after the end of the 2009 season. That means the two drivers for the team, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld, will be free agents and available to any team. While the BMW Sauber Team may be sold to an independent investor, you can be sure both drivers have clauses in their contracts voiding their deals if that happens. Regardless, their availability shakes things up in Formula One. Robert Kubica is clearly...
The New F1 Cars - Hit by the Ugly Stick
With the turn of the New Year comes anticipation for the beginning of the racing seasons in NASCAR and Formula One. Both have been hit by tough economic times and made radical changes to lower costs. If you thought the Car of Tomorrow was ugly in NASCAR, you have to get a gander of the new F1 cars. Formula One doesn't begin racing till late March, but that doesn't stop teams from launching their cars starting in early January. Launching is, of course, just another way to drum up a media event for sponsors to see the new car, take plenty of pictures and publish them in periodicals around the world. Ferrari is the first team to launch the new car this year. Ferrari has always had a sleek car of deep...

But now the truth is out and the fall out over this scandal begins. Alonso has denied any knowledge of this plot and has...

An off track is any dirt race track that is rated as muddy, sloppy, good, or heavy. For the purposes of this article and finding good bets when the dirt track is off, we won't be discussing turf races and grass surfaces, though they too offer opportunities for good bets when they are not fast. Because the people who supply past performances and sire statistics also supply information regarding a horse's chances of running well on an off track, there is some confusion about what makes on horse run well when the track is wet while another might not run as well. The following information works well for thoroughbreds, harness horses, and quarter horses, alike. Though the ability to run well or even...
Sloppy, Good Track, Or Muddy Track Handicapping Tips
Even though many horse tracks have switched over to the synthetic surfaces that aren't affected as much by moisture, there are still some dirt race tracks left in the United States. Knowing how to handicap an off track rated as good, muddy, or sloppy, can save the day. Betting on horses racing on a fast track is risky enough, but betting on an off track adds one more dimension. The best advice seems to be, if the track isn't fast, don't bet the races. But if you want to try your hand at handicapping an off track and picking winners, here are some tips. First of all, since the race tracks in the United States don't tell you how much moisture is in the track in any scientific or quantifiable way, you...

Men Behind the Wrenches - Michael Waltrip Racing's Tim Brown
There are many people that work in professional motorsports, and all have their own viewpoint. Some see the auto racing world behind the view of a wrench set. Some get to see it through a crash helmet visor and a racecar windshield. Tim Brown is one of few that have both angles covered. Michael Waltrip Racing began as a self-owned team for the driver. Waltrip's efforts in NASCAR's then titled Busch Series were first fielded from a shop behind his residence in the North Carolina countryside. It has grown to the multi-car Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series operation. Brown oversees the suspension department that works with all of MWR's teams and chassis.

Model Boats
Just like most other R/C hobbies, such as trains, cars or planes, remote control boats transcend a simple love of boats but instead embody the childhood dreams of those who make and use these miniatures. A popular way to enjoy remote control boats is by racing the models. Model boat racing is an intense activity, which requires skill, quick reflexes and a near-obsession with speed. R/C boat racing is, perhaps, surprisingly organized; complete with a (partially) international federation, which has set rules and organizes events. NAMBA, or the North American Model Boat Association, is the largest association of its kind. NAMBA has 20 districts within the United States and Canada , which organize local...

A Brief History of Road Signs
In 1958 the first section of motorway in the UK, the Preston bypass - now part of the M6 was opened. This was quickly surpassed by the opening of the M1 in the following year. The road signs we currently use across the UK were designed for these roads and the exact same designs are still with us today.

Hobbies For Depression Therapy
Depression is not particular about what age group it attacks. It afflicts both the young child and our seniors alike. Reasons for depression vary, but one very simple to change reason is that it can stem from inactivity. When you have nothing to do, or purpose to a day, it gets depressing. Children may show their depression by bad behavior or as couch potatoes in front of a TV. Adults often become withdrawn and silently slip into a chair where they eventually do not even appear to notice the world around them. Sometimes it takes leading a depressed individual by the hand and interacting with them on a one on one basis to kick start healing. Start slowly by choosing a topic that is of interest and...
Parenting: Look For Creative Ways To Teach Your Children
I'm not talking about the alphabet, or math, although creativity in those areas will probably make learning much more fun. What I'm talking about here, is life lessons. I'm talking about the kind of lessons that your children will never learn in school. There are moments when we are just going through our routine of doing "life" when teaching opportunities will present themselves. Most of the time we blow right by those moments and miss those prime opportunities to teach our children some powerful lessons. Let me give you an example of a time when I used a dead deer to teach my 3 year old son about the dangers of playing in the street. We live in an area that was once considered the "country...

Formula Ford: Silverstone Review
Formula Ford: Silverstone Review Last weekend represented the half way point in my season with two rounds of the National Formula Ford 1600 championship, one counting as a round of the Midland South Formula Ford 1600 championship. It was a very difficult weekend for me, underwritten by mechanical woes and other difficulties. This was the fourth straight race weekend I would not be testing the day before. As such, qualifying was my first opportunity to drive a Formula Ford 1600 on the National circuit and in regards to set up and gear ratios, we were running the same as at Donington Park (which ultimately didn’t actually happen). Both Saturday and Sunday would be run as independent races – the...

Inside the racetrack, it is always about the race, the team and the racer. Serious training and conditioning are done months before an event. The challenge really starts from gear zero - the preparation. From physical to mental trainings, everything must be planned out well. Racers would usually go to the gym regularly aside from practices to stay fit and maintain their skills. The cars are also conditioned to run on its best during an event. The team draws out new strategies to be stronger and better in each race. These...

Project Betfair System Review
Project Betfair is the latest system for laying horses to come onto the market, and I wondered whether it was good, bad or downright ugly... In fact, it is using some sound principles of form in its selection criteria (some of them reminiscent of the excellent Racing Secrets Exposed). Now, some basics... - Project Betfair is a laying system, looking to oppose certain horses in certain races. - The Project Betfair manual runs to 60 pages, and has a pretty good explanation of how to read the racecard in (useful if you, like me, are struggling to understand its vagaries) - There are actually two systems in Project Betfair, one for win and one for place. I will only look at the win system for now, as...

The Backyard Landscape - Trash-Heap Or Treasure?
While the back of the home is not seen by the general public passing by, backyard landscaping should also have careful attention if possible for a number of reasons. The same reason applies as for the front yard landscaping - good gardens add 5% - 10% value to a property. This alone is a good reason not to just use the back of the house as a dumping ground for all the discarded items of life - like old sofas, car bodies and other trash. In addition, it is space that can extend the size of the house and its function - thoughtful design and planning can give you extra 'rooms' as it were. For example, a deck added on to the back of the house and set up say with a BBQ and for entertainment effectively...
The skateboards of the future will be hover boards and if they are to fly they will need to be made out of lighter materials. What materials might they be made of? Chances are they will be made of Carbon Nano Tube construction or ultra-light weight composites. Most plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are way too heavy and wood simply won't work. This means the current manufacturing processes that are used to make skateboards will have to be changed along with the materials. This transition may upset the industry and some of the riders and there will be resistance to change. The resistance will be similar to what we saw with skis or choosing to go down the slopes on a snowboard. Most...
Solution to the US Automaker Crisis
The US automakers have lost market share to Japanese auto makers. Many believe that General Motors and the Ford Motor Company are having a severe problem trying to compete. Japanese automakers have many cars to get very good gas mileage and each time the gasoline prices rise the Japanese automakers pick up market share. In 2005 Japanese automakers picked up a 5% market share advantage over their US competitors. There is an answer to the problem of US automakers losing market share to Japanese automakers. The solution is to make the old body styles, which were very famous previously and put these car bodies onto four-cylinder economy chassis or even E85 Ethanol enabled vehicles or Flex Fuel...
