During Christmas Break, our basketball team and my family traveled to Tennessee for an annual tournament held there called the Arby's Classic. Besides the usual projectile motion that I use to discuss basketball, we were able to experience the majority of what Bristol, Tennessee can offer. For example, one of the most famous raceways in the country is the Bristol Speedway which is used for a couple of Nascar races throughout the racing season. Although we weren't allowed on the actual speedway, my brother experienced a bit of physics himself when he raced in a gocart. Because the track he was on included several turns in it, my brother needed to slow down to complete the turns and allow the friction to maintain the car's general direction. He was able to do this for the most part, but did end up losing some control of the gocart on a few occassions. Overall, it was a fun but grueling trip in a sense that the plane rides were at the worst times of day.
