Rally Racing

There is another type of racing that i am really interested in, and have been for a while. It is called Rally racing, which is basically a time trial on a longer distance track. You drive normally an all-wheel-drive car that is tuned up to go around sharper turns, up and down hills, and to handle low traction conditions. Even though this type of racing is based on single car time trials, it is very competative, because it is based completly on your driving ability. You compete with many other vehicles and the way you win is by getting the best time. When you are up to drive, you will have a guide person in the passenger seat that tells you what will coming up on the track and will give you a number that describes the pace at which you should be going. Rallies take place in a variety of special stages, that are mainly based on all different types of terrain. Rally racing takes place all over the world, even though it is more based in Asia and Europe. I think i would enjoy rally racing, because you wouldn't have to deal with other racers gettin in your way so anything bad that happens is all on yourself. Rallies aren't nearly as well known as drifting, pro-circuits, or drag racing, which adds a little more pride in being involved in it. I also like the fact that the car i currently own is a well known rally car when upgraded to its other model. The cars in this type of racing aren't completely based on speed they have to be able to handle any type of road conditions. The main cars that are used are either Group N or Group A cars. There is also a Targa Racing Rally, which takes place on a tarmac track and use more street based cars. Targa rally takes place on the Island of Sicily and spread throughout canada and even parts of the U.S.

types of racing

There are two main types of racing that i would love to be a part of the first type is called circuit racing. In circuit racing you take a car out of a certain class and compete with 6 or more cars in the same class. The classes are based on the performance, in general, of that car and the better the performance of the car the more extreme the races are. There are many types of tracks that circuit races take place on and these races are mainly held all over europe. I think that this type of racing would be amazing because it would give you a huge adrenaline rush, which is awesome. I also like the fact that you get to travel all over the world to be involved in a huge race.
The other type of racing that i would love to be involved in is Drifting, because it is probably the most difficult racing type out there. You basically get to take your favorite car and completely upgrade to go 100+ mph and slide/drift your car around a race track that consist of very sharp turns. The most well known drifting race series is Formula D, which is held all throughout the united states and even in parts of Japan. The japanese invented this style of racing quite a while back, because they basically got bored with regular street racing. It became so popular that know there are even movies and tv shows based on this type of race. This type of racing has appealed to me ever since i found out about it, because you can take your favorite car and race legally.
Being able to do at least one of these types of races in my lifetime would be the most amazing thing i could think of. I would be able to wake up each morning and tell myself "I get to go as fast as i want today, and the only thing i have to worry about is safety. The kicker would be that i would get to drive my dream car, 1996 Toyota Supra twin turbo, every day until i get old.

true dream

Ive always wanted to be a professional racer,and i only have one problem and it is money. When choosing careers i always thought i would be able to just do what ive always wanted but if you dont have the money to get started is it still possible, i dont think it is. Another issue that has also come up was the fact that in cedar rapids racing in general isnt very popular, which makes this even more difficult to do. Some people may think that the skill of racing takes years to learn, which is only partially true, because with in my first year of driving i developed a huge amount of skill that could easily push me through a career as long as i keep learning new and useful things on the track. I have also realized that you have to be noticed in the racing world to get a sponsor that can help you with parts and everything, but without the start-up money you cant even get the chance to prove yourself. With this issue in mind i decided to get the start up money i need is to become a police officer, because it would be an exciting career and would also allow me to get out of cedar rapids through a transfer. I have also always wanted to try to help my city. Learning the police maneuvers could add a new edge to my racing style that could either make it more risky or allow me to have more control. Being in the field of law enforcement would provide a stable job that pays well. i also like to be different with in my family, because my family has had a wide range of careers but not one has ever become a cop,which could use a changing. the requirements of becoming a police officer are mental strength,physical strength, and good work ethic and i believe i meet this criteria. If there is such a thing i think it would be amazing if i could be a pursuit specialist, which would allow me to keep my physical strength up and help my driving skills by being in hot pursuits. car and foot chases are probably the most exciting parts of law enforcement. This would also give me a huge boost in my racing skills, which could help not only my track racing skills but also drifting. Ive always wanted to actually race on a major track circuit and drift. Even when i was a little kid all Ive wanted to do is to race cars and as soon as i got my license i was the happiest person ever. Over the past two years that Ive driven i continuously test myself in my driving ability. here are some of the thing Ive done, i have done a J-turn(when you turn the wheel really fast while going backwards at a high speed and doing a 180* turn and then putting the car in first to drive off) ,and also tested how well i can control a car going speeds of over 100mph. The first time i knew i could be a sucessful racer was when i went 120mph and had complete control over my car.

decisions

i havent always wanted to become a cop, my actual dream was to be a professional race car driver,either in drifting or in circuit events, but because i never had the start up i needed, which means money, i decided to go with my second choice another exciting career. i have wanted to become a cop for a very long time the main reasons are because even though the job can be boring at some times it is also 1 of the most exciting careers out there. I want a job where theres always something going on, because i dont want to be bored doing work,because then i wouldnt ever be sucessful

video

i watched this video on youtube and it explains the real basics of what the whole hiring process is and how it works. It will help me a little bit when i graduate this year. the process isnt very difficult 2 figure out but it isnt going 2 b a cake walk you take classes about firearms first aid search and rescue missions you also get all of the physical training necessary to be a successful cop. I really cant wait til i cango through this process and actually become a cop.

education

To become a police officer i will have 2 complete at least 2 years of college, and my plans r 2 go 2 kirkwood and get all of my gen. eds. done. One of the requirements of becoming a police officer in cedar rapids is being 21. So when i complete my 2 years i will have a year off, and by that time i hope to become a security guard where i currently work, at Target. I am currently investigating what i have 2 do 2 become a security guard and all i really need 2 do is wait until im 18, which will b in june, and there has to b a position opened up. This will give the experience and a reliable job until i actually am able 2 become a cop. The only other type of education i need is to complete the police academy training.
