Tips – Americas Motor Sport Parks https://americasmotorsportspark.com The importance of racing Wed, 29 Jun 2022 09:24:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.3 2 Important Considerations in Motorsport Betting https://americasmotorsportspark.com/2-important-considerations-in-motorsport-betting/ Sun, 23 Jul 2017 10:20:01 +0000 https://americasmotorsportspark.com/?p=98 Motorsport is one of the most exciting sports. For speed enthusiasts, the thrills of the fast-moving cars, where victories are won in milliseconds, are exhilarating. Sometimes, because of the close finishes, it is almost impossible to believe that the person who took pole actually did so. Betting on motorsports adds to the excitement. It makes one feel involved in the action despite the fact that they might be watching the circuits from continents away. There are some tips to consider in motorsport betting, and you might find them very useful. The first thing to consider is the speed of the circuit. Different motorsport circuits have different speeds because of factors like the weather and the attitude. Abu Dhabi is hot while Canada is cold; speeds will vary. The colder circuit, more often than not, will be faster because engines are getting cooled naturally, thereby working more efficiently. When betting on the outcomes of speeds, consider the circuit where the competition will be held. If you’re not feeling confident in your speed predictions, bet on some other aspect of the competition like the winning team or who will take pole. It would be too risky to bet on speeds and finishing times when you have not considered the factors that affect each race.

The second consideration is the car. Motor sports is not only about the driver; the car is very important. That is how the same teams manage to win poles most of the times. A superior car will be an edge out on the track. This information is especially important in the start of the season when cars have been upgraded and tweaked.

Something as simple as tires can affect the outcome. Research the teams and analysis on how their new cars are performing to stay ahead on matters cars. Motorsports betting, like any other sports betting, does require an awareness of the ecosystem around the races. With a keen eye, one should be able to guess intelligently when placing bets.

Modify your car for racing https://americasmotorsportspark.com/modify-your-car-for-racing/ Thu, 02 Jul 2015 11:27:20 +0000 https://americasmotorsportspark.com/?p=28 Owning a stock car isn’t for everyone, and for some people the need to go faster will send them researching performance parts and simple upgrades to improve speed. If you want to make your car go faster there are several ways to do it, but you should keep in mind that modifications in one area of your car will effect performance in other areas. Major upgrades can put damaging stress in other areas. Consider the implications of each upgrade and plan your path intelligently to keep your car running correctly.

Electronics

New or tuned computers for your car can help performance overall by changing fuel flow, timing and by disabling environmental controls. Factory tuned computers are usually set for fuel economy and to comply with environmental regulations which, as a rule, will hinder performance. Racing tuned chips sometimes can improve performance and fuel economy, but usually will increase fuel flow to increase speed. There are diagnostic equipment which will let you tun your own computer, but this should only be done by a professional.

Fuel

More fuel means more speed, period. larger fuel pumps, fuel injectors able to spray more fuel to the engine will mean more power for your car. An upgraded fuel system is a significant upgrade but one that may consider when planning the upgrade path for your car. Ensure that your stock engine can handle the power increase as blowing a rod will set back your racing plans significantly.

Exhaust

Just as getting more fuel to the engine creates more power, getting the resulting exhaust out of the engine improves efficiency and produces more power. Your exhaust system starts with the headers, goes through the piping and usually ends with your muffler. Performance mufflers restrict air flow less but produce more sound so if you’re planning to use this car as a daily driver, ensure that the noise your car is now generating is within the legal limit when choosing a new muffler.

Turbos and cold air intakes

Cold air produces more power when your fuel is ignited by the spark plugs. Likewise, air under pressure will create more power in a combustion engine. Cold air intakes simply put the air filter further from the engine block where air is cooler. This is a fairly basic upgrade. A turbo is basically a system that pushes air into the engine under pressure. More pressure makes more power. Turbo’s should be installed by technicians with experience, and the right turbo needs to be selected for the engine you have.

How to Manage Your Race Car Collection https://americasmotorsportspark.com/how-to-manage-your-race-car-collection/ Tue, 02 Jun 2015 11:24:04 +0000 https://americasmotorsportspark.com/?p=24 A race car is a great deal of fun, but properly maintaining one can be a bit tricky. This is even more true if you have an entire collection. From classic models to cutting-edge vehicles, such a collection is an investment in a very real way. So, you need to know some of the proper things to take into account when caring for such vehicles. This checklist will enable you to make the correct decisions at the right times.

Car Movers

Choosing the configuration that represents the perfect car placement is the first aspect to address. Not only will this aid in their visual appeal, but you need to be able to work on them from time to time. Stringo manufactures quality car movers that can be used within nearly any environment. This also enhances your safety; always a concern when working alone.

Overhead Lighting

Keeping your storage area lit is an obvious concern. Recently, there has been a debate in regards to whether LED lighting is the best or traditional fluorescent lights are better. May racing enthusiasts claim that LED lights provide better quality while they are able to consume much less electricity. They are quite versatile and you can select several models. Even different colours are a possibility.

Cleaning the Vehicles

Racing cars are also valued for their visual appeal. You need to regularly clean both the interior and the exterior. Never forget that their finish will partially depend upon which waxes you choose. According to Consumer Reports, 3M and Mothers are the two best waxes currently on the market. Waxes and cleansers of a lower quality may actually damage the paint job and surfaces such as leather.

Checking for Leaks

Racing cars can develop slight leaks from time to time. The best way to make sure that they are in top working order is to place a few sheets of newspaper underneath each vehicle overnight. In the morning, check for any telltale signs such as stains underneath the engine.

Caring for your race car collection does not have to be complicated. All of these suggestions are easy to follow while they will enable you to make the most out of such valuable investments.
