The cars lose much more speed in the corners, then accelerate down the straightaways. |
The cars typically run well there because their horsepower helps so much down the three long straightaways. |
The little karts reach speeds of more than 65 miles per hour on the straightaways. |
We had no trouble coming to quick stops on dry or snow-covered surfaces, over straightaways or around corners. |
Because of the long straightaways, the cars carry a lot of speed into the flat and sharp turns, which is where you'll see a lot of wrecks. |
The drivers' heart rates were slow and steady in the straightaways and increased markedly in the turns due to stress. |
