Fast Car Physics by Chuck EdmondsonRevving engines, smoking tires, and high speeds. Car racing enthusiasts and race drivers alike know the thrill of competition, the push to perform better, and the agony-and dangers-of bad decisions. But driving faster and better involves more than just high horsepower and tightly tuned engines. Physicist and amateur racer Chuck Edmondson thoroughly discusses the physics underlying car racing and explains just what's going on during any race, why, and how a driver can improve control and ultimately win. The world of motorsports is rich with excitement and competition-and physics. Edmondson applies common mathematical theories to real-world racing situations to reveal the secrets behind successful fast driving. He explains such key concepts as how to tune your car and why it matters, how to calculate 0 to 60 mph times and quarter-mile times and why they are important, and where, when, why, and how to use kinematics in road racing. He wraps it up with insight into the impact and benefit of green technologies in racing. In each case, Edmondson's in-depth explanations and worked equations link the physics principles to qualitative racing advice. From selecting shifting points to load transfer in car control and beyond, Fast Car Physics is the ideal source to consult before buckling up and cinching down the belts on your racing harness.

We have been retailing workshop,maintenance,service manuals to Australia for the past 7 years. This website is devoted to the selling of manuals to only Australia. We keep our workshop manuals available, so right as you order them we can get them delivered to you immediately. Our transportation to your Australian regular address ordinarily takes 1 to 2 days. Workshop and service manuals are a series of handy manuals that typically focuses upon the routine maintenance and repair of automobile vehicles, covering a wide range of makes. Workshop manuals are geared chiefly at Do-it-yourself owners, rather than pro garage mechanics.The manuals cover areas such as: bleed brakes,replace tyres,turbocharger,brake piston,glow plugs,master cylinder,change fluids,clutch cable,pcv valve, oil pan,window replacement,fuel filters,oil seal,petrol engine,brake shoe,exhaust pipes,brake pads,brake servo,throttle position sensor,exhaust gasket,overhead cam timing,crankshaft position sensor,warning light,tie rod,alternator replacement,stabiliser link,bell housing,exhaust manifold,anti freeze,steering arm,valve grind,radiator flush,spring,stub axle,pitman arm,cylinder head,piston ring,starter motor,coolant temperature sensor,fuel gauge sensor,engine control unit,Carburetor,brake rotors,fix tyres,thermostats,distributor,diesel engine,spark plug leads,stripped screws,injector pump,drive belts,CV boots,o-ring,crank pulley,radiator fan,radiator hoses,replace bulbs,oil pump,headlight bulbs,shock absorbers,trailing arm,signal relays,suspension repairs,seat belts,oxygen sensor,caliper,gasket,alternator belt,CV joints,ignition system,spark plugs,wheel bearing replacement,water pump,head gasket,crank case,sump plug,ABS sensors,brake drum,slave cylinder,ball joint,camshaft timing,conrod,rocker cover,batteries,adjust tappets,window winder,camshaft sensor,blown fuses,gearbox oil,clutch pressure plate,engine block,clutch plate,wiring harness,grease joints,supercharger,knock sensor>
