Racing Seats – A Buyers Guide for Novices

Posted on August 14, 2011 by cintaduapuluh

Aspiring race car drivers wishing to build and prepare their own car will need to look at buying a racing seat before they can go out on track.

Today there are a great number of suppliers out there – providing packages for every budget, style and buyer preference. For example, the majority have been designed for competition use only – there are, however, plenty of seats which have been designed with mixed use in mind. Cheap items are available, but one must always consider that prices vary greatly in accordance with designs, materials, specification and – ultimately – their intended use. So whilst some cheap racing seats can set you back as little as £100, most quality racing seats will be three, four or five times this amount – with some retailing at well into four-figures.

Racing seats are generally designed with universal fittings in mind, meaning that the unit can be fitted to a huge range of vehicles with ease. This is achieved by the use of universal rails (the brackets onto which the seat is mounted) which can sometimes be specified separately from the seat and which are designed specifically for your make and model of vehicle.

Most use slide-mount bracketry, which is similar to the brackets used to secure most stock road car seats. These rails are held in place by heavy-duty bolts which, generally speaking, will be included with your seat package.

So, once you have determined your intended use and budget, your third consideration will be the type of restraining device you intend to use – both now and into the future. For instance, if you intend to take the car circuit racing, you’ll almost certainly need to install MSA-approved racing harnesses (this will ultimately be determined by the rules and regulations of both the motor racing circuit itself and the racing series in which you are – or intend to – compete). Generally speaking, you will need to budget for at least a four or five-strap race harness if you intend to take part in competitive events.

Your final decision will most likely be to decide what comfort level you need – or are willing to accept – from your racing seat. A key factor here will likely be your intended use of the car. If it is to be used as a track-car only, the majority will provide adequate protection over a 10, 20 or 40 minute race. If however you intend to use the car on a daily basis – or even if you intend to drive to and from your racing events in the car – then you may wish to specify a higher level of comfort and padding in your new seats.

Bowhunting and Kinetic Energy

Posted on August 10, 2011 by cintaduapuluh

You bring your bow out into the yard for some target practice. You’re shooting at the bulls-eye and putting 3 arrows inside of a 3 inch circle. Your speed is phenomenal. It’s like as soon as you pull the trigger the bow has passed 40 yards and placed itself into the target in the same millisecond. You can’t believe the speed you’re getting, but there is one problem, the arrow is not penetrating deep enough into the Styrofoam. Heck, your arrow could perhaps bounce off a deer. What seems to be the problem though? The chronograph recorded you at a blistering 297fps. I’ll tell you what the problem is, lack of kinetic energy.

Everyone is so caught up in the speed game. People are overbowing their bows, pulling their draw length back 1-3 inches too long for them, using arrows so light they might as well dry fire their bows. What they do not see, is that kinetic energy is what kills deer, not speed. Yeah, so you’re shooting nearly 300fps with a full set up, but do you really think that means that a deer still can’t jump your string? Speed is important, very important, but not as important as the kinetic energy you’re shooting.

So what is “kinetic energy?” Kinetic energy basically means the amount of penetration your bow is going to produce at a certain arrow velocity. To measure the amount of kinetic energy your bow is shooting, the formula is: speed * speed * arrow weight / 450240. You can see the importance of speed in the formula, but the most under looked aspect in the formula is the arrow weight. IBO recommends you shoot 5 grains of arrow weight for every pound of draw weight, but that is for maximum speed standards and is basically dry firing your bow. You need about 6-8 grains of arrow weight for every pound of draw weight. Yes, this will slow you down a slight bit, about 1fps worth for every 3 grains of arrow weight, but you will gain what is really important: kinetic energy.

There are calculators on the computer that will help you determine your speed and kinetic energy if you do not have access to a chronograph, but the easiest method to determine at home is simply know the IBO standards, which is 30 inches of draw length, 70 pounds of draw weight, and a 350 grain arrow. If your bow does not reach a 30 inch draw or 70 pounds of weight, then use the maximum weight/length your bow comes in and times the draw weight by 5 to determine the total grain arrow used. So if you’re using a bow that has an IBO of 335 fps: subtract 10 fps for every inch of draw length lost, subtract 2 fps for every lb of draw weight lost, subtract 1fps for every 3 grains of arrow weight lost, and that should tell your your speed, give or take 5 fps or so.

Karate – The Spirit Of Practice

Posted on August 5, 2011 by cintaduapuluh

When your back is against the wall you must either suffer or triumph. I wish I had a dollar for the times I’ve heard that saying. But after surviving the first problem “the assault” you must consider problem number two which may involve such things as police interviews, lawyers and courts etc.

As in other aspects of self-protection chain it is best to consider these aspects in advance. In other words, have a game plan and stick to it at a critical time. That said; let’s move on to the topic of different approaches to combat. Traditional or combative, it’s your choice.

Unlike the traditional Japanese way of the sword where a full blow upon the head, face, arm or legs could spell death the combatives school of thought is less predictable than the regimented traditional sword or karate approach, and is thus harder to defend against.

It’s true, a lot of modern-day combative trainers do not think much of the traditional type of martial arts training because they are influenced by all sorts of philosophical and mathematical considerations. You see, combative training stresses a more physical approach relying on the basis of hit first, hard and with bad intent. Yes, not encouraged in traditional karate circles because it is against their philosophy, there is no first strike in karate. Right?

On top of that, and in my opinion and others most real fighting takes place close in. Whereby, rendering many techniques taught in modern-day karate which is geared for competition fighting only useless in a real confrontation where close in weapons such as: knees, elbows and dirty tactics are employed to win at all costs.

After all, in the street your life or that of others may depend on it. You are not there to win a nice big trophy. And I’m afraid a valiant heart alone will not be enough to prevail in a real unprovoked vicious ambush type attack.Unfortunately these words have been vindicated by many a so-called martial art black belt expert to their cost. They have had to learn the hard way.

This echoes some of the problems of the present-day karate-ka who are presented with on the one hand karate training and a system of self – defence and on the other as a competitive sport which operates under very restrictive rules.

Combative training on the other hand teaches people how to survive in very violent times and in situations where they could expect to be attacked in different ways. Combative training tends to use extreme force to subdue an attacker some might consider it excessive today.

However, because of the hard-earned knowledge gained over the many years of research mainly via the military from conflicts around the world into what works and what does not then taking those same techniques and adapting them for wider civilian use. Then wouldn’t you agree? If not for any other reason than that stated above, combative type training deserves serious attention from those martial artists seriously interested in self-protection?

Volleyball Drills For Digging

Posted on August 1, 2011 by cintaduapuluh

There are only a few types of basic hits per volley during a regulation game. One of those is called the dig, also referred to as the pass. Creating volleyball drills that work on the dig is an important tool to have in your coaching arsenal. This is often the first hit of the ball once it is over the net, as well as being the key to positioning the ball to set up the set and spike. A good dig requires coordination and a little forethought to know where the ball should go once it leaves the hitter’s control. Here are a few volleyball drills designed to help your team learn the proper way to dig.

The first of these volleyball drills is called the dig to net. This one will be one of most basic drills, but will help with accuracy and control. The drill is designed to be done in pairs. One player stands close to the net, with her partner standing on the 3m line. The player at the net then tosses the ball to the digger, who must then dig the ball back to the feeder. This is repeated 10 times, then the two players switch positions to ensure that both players have a chance to practice. This drill, as with almost all volleyball drills, can be modified as needed by changing the distance between players or changing the arc of travel when feeding the ball to the passer.

The purpose of all volleyball drills is to simulate real game situations. This can be accomplished with the next drill. The coach stands on one side of the net on a ladder or chair. Several players line up in the front row as they would in a game. The coach then throws the balls downward, over the net, simulating a spiked ball. The front row defenders must then dig the ball to another of the defenders. This helps the defenders be prepared for the incoming ball, especially when hit at such a downward angle. A variation of this set of volleyball drills is to change the speed or angle of the ball. At some point, the coach may want to throw the ball down as hard as they can, to keep the defenders on their toes.

The last of this set of digging volleyball drills is for the back row defenders. The coach will again stand on one side of the net, with back row defenders on the other side of the net. There will also be a server on the side with the coach. The coach stands fairly close to the net, while the server stays in the serve position. Serve the ball over the net to the back row. Since the serve is a long serve, have the player on the right receive it. The player standing on the left as they face the net will take the short serve. The defender has to dig the ball to a player in the front row. Once the volley is completed, the coach then tosses a ball over simulating a short serve. Continue with these volleyball drills until all players have had a chance to defend both types of serves.
