The history of racing on mounted horses dated to the first millennium BC. In the beginning no breed of horse could carry jockeys a significant distance. The first mounted horse races took place in Ancient Greece. More frequent races were for charity in Roman times. When Rome fell in the 5th century horse breeding and racing declined in the west. In 1665 formal horse racing began in North America when Richard Nicolls was the governor of New York. By establishing formal races he improved the horse

drag racing is better than circle track "dirt track" racing. Here are my reasons why drag racing is better than circle track. Because you go way faster in a lot shorter distance and go in a straight line. In stock car racing you just go in circles. Drag racing is also better because when you are turning the corners in stock cars you run into people and your car gets all banged up. Then with getting your car banged up you have to put a new body on every couple of weeks. But in drag racing the only

CIRCUITS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT 3 AC Circuit Analysis 3.1 Introduction The steady-state behavior of circuits energized by sinusoidal sources is an important area of study for several reasons. First‚ the generation‚ transmission‚ distribution‚ and consumption of electric energy occur under essentially sinusoidal steady-state conditions. Second‚ an understanding of sinusoidal behavior makes possible the prediction of circuit behavior when nonsinusoidal sources are used through the use of techniques
