a left turn and repeat this process. Now, continue to do this for hours sounds exciting, right? Many people would be hesitant to consider driving a car around a dirt track for several hours on a hot Saturday afternoon as an actual sport. But then some find it interesting and this is where the story begins. So here we are at our home town race track Oklahoma Sports Park on another Saturday night like usually spend Saturday nights. Getting the cars ready and warmed up before the races as well as the track during a few hot laps. After that, we’re on to the drivers meeting where we go over the same old, rules for the new drivers that occasionally stop by. Then it’s off to start the races where you will start to smell of burning gasoline, burning alcohol, burning rubber from the tires, and a feeling of the bleachers vibrating under you from the power of the cars. Now and then you may have chunks of dirt fly up and hit…

Once there was a lonely racetrack, and no one had raced on it for twenty five years. The track was very curvy with a lot of loops. It had jumps over lakes, and it was the hardest training facility in the world. This was why it had to close down. The track was in a city in Québec. There were tons of people getting ready for this race for a long time. Callum, the mayor, called for this race because he wanted to see who was the best driver in Québec. The three main drivers were Ollie, Jack, and…

The race, we were traveling to, was the last meet for the others on the team, but for me it was the start of an uphill battle to get back to where I used to be. On the way to the track meet, the school bus window condensation blurred the view of the outside world. All I could see looking out my window were the blurred lights of passing cars in the darkening afternoon. My canada goose jacket rested beside me protecting my hip from pounding itself into the metal framework of the moving bus. My…

1) At the second track meet of the season the sprint track coach decides to mix things up to see how a few runners would do in different events. He put a girl in the 3,000-meter run instead of her normal sprint 100. I definitely think that she would have a moment of terror, especially right before the race when she is waiting for the race to begin. The action of running has not changed, however the distance she would be running increased dramatically. I would imagine the runners view on the…

desirable because it made it easier to transport goods. People who could afford to buy railroad lands bought them. The government provided thousands of acres of land for the railroads to be built. They also offered an extensive right away of property on both sides of the tracks resulting in many railroads owning millions of acres which they sold to settlers. The government also provided timber rights on lands the railroads did not own. The biggest reason it is important because the railroads…

cattle, fruit, and goods it had never previously been carried. The Railroad Empire grew at the end of the Civil War. It expanded from 35,000 miles to 193,000 miles in about 35 years. Investors gave money as well as the government which allowed companies to grow, while making money from the land-use for track. Grants of land and cash stimulated the railroad across the west. This allowed…

of lesson here, or is it more of a single frame caught during a story that has not yet reached its moral? We have two sides of this story, told by each of the characters. The young man seems excited and almost oblivious to his father’s suffering. The old man also can’t seem to figure out what to say, distant in his eyes as if lost in thought. Both seem to have difficulty communicating in the current situation. The old man might not speak to his son, worried he might burst into tears or say…

The Vander Light This urban legend is said to have taken place in the 1800s, and is about the ghost of Arthur Matthews. Arthur Mathews was a Ticketmaster for the small train station located in Vander, North Carolina. The legend states that one rainy night the scheduled train was late and Arthur went outside on the platform with his lantern to see if he could see the train approaching. He slipped on the wet platform and fell onto the tracks hitting his head on a rail and knocking him out…

South America South America is the land mass south of Panama and encompasses everything down to the lowest point of Argentina. The rail system in South America is very inadequate compared to the other continents. Countries with rail systems in this region lack modern techniques which hamper operations. South American infrastructure relies heavily on road ways and most of the railroads still in operation…
