Street Racing
Many people don’t believe when I say street racing is my National History Day topic, as they smirk with sarcasm as if the topic doesn’t relate. Over the years the world of engineering has evolved, creating a new way of traveling but in style. Street Racing has revolutionized the way we drive by improving our safety and our awareness. These changes was created by the drivers them selves improving, upgrading the way we drive so when next years cars come out they be already equip. New upgrades as turbo for better performance or six-side air bags as they deploy when a crash occurs.
When you are going on a free way at 130 mph on a straightaway you get an adrenaline rush. This rush that you obtain takes over you and you can’t get enough so you obsessively step on the pedal. When this happens your mind is blank of any interference until it hits you literarily. A case in Plano, Texas two teens was leaving school and decided to have fun by driving at high rate of speed, as the mustang clipped one of the teen’s bumpers causing it to flip side ways into a utility pole. One teen was killed and one was critically injured.
According to NHTSA the leading of car accidents ranges from the ages of 16 and 20. Institute of Highway Safety 5,749 teens dies in the United States from motor vehicle crashes. From these statistics, manufactures are able to apply new safety features and performances to stop these type occurrences. Car crashes happen every year and every year a car is release to stop it but a crash is a sudden thing so a crash is really inevitable. New features may help but what most drives need is experience and that’s what street racers have.
