[Phys-l] Stock Car Science

[Karim Diff <karim.diff@sfcc.edu>]

I just read this article in the New York Times
<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/12/science/12tier.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp

It talks about a new book coming out this Thursday (to coincide with the 
Daytona 500):
The Physics of NASCAR: How to Make Steel + Gas + Rubber = Speed (Hardcover)
by Diandra Leslie-Pelecky

*The book is linked to this web site:
<http://www.stockcarscience.com/index.php>
*
*where you can also find the table of contents (click on "The Book")

It looks interesting for first semester physics classes.
