KungeCawe. Kuya kufuneka ube usemnxebeni uswayipha kwimidiya yoluntu, unesithukuthezi kwaye ujongeka ugula. Ngaba ndiyifumene kakuhle?
Ndiyathemba ukuba akunjalo. Kodwa ukuba kunjalo, iRazão Automóvel lolona nyango lulungileyo lokuphelisa isithukuthezi kwaye inike inkuthazo kulo mnwe uphulukana nokholo kwimithombo yeendaba zentlalo.
Makhe sithethe malunga neDrag Racing?
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ndiqale, ndifuna ukukuxelela oku: siza kusungula ijelo le-Youtube. Imiyalezo abasithumelele yona becela ijelo likaYouTube ifundwe yonke. Kwaye nathi siyivile le mfuno...
Sahlanganisa iqela, safunda okona kulungileyo kwi-Youtube (ngaphandle nangaphakathi...), sacinga ngefomathi, saza saqalisa ukusebenza. Sinenyanga sirekhodwa. Kufuneka sivume: sifuna ukuba ibe lijelo elikhulu! Akunjalo kuba sifuna ukuba ngabakhulu okanye abagqwesileyo, kodwa ngenxa yokuba siziva sinaloo mbopheleleko.
Singabanye bamajelo eendaba afundwa kakhulu kweli lizwe, singamalungu asisigxina eMoto yoNyaka ePortugal kwaye singabameli bamaPhuthukezi kuphela kwiiMbasa zeHlabathi zeMoto - ecaleni kwezinye zezona ngcali zibalaseleyo kwihlabathi lezemoto. Ayenzelwanga ukuba yintlekisa, ukuthetha i-larachas kunye nokwenza ividiyo. Intlonipho esinayo kuwe nguMthetho #1 weSizathu seMoto.
Ukushwankathela. Sifuna ukuya kuYoutube, iRazão Automóvel oqhele ukuyifunda kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo. Umgangatho, ukhululo, ulwazi kunye nothando lweemoto.
Siza kuba novavanyo, iingxelo, iiVlogs, iiprezenteshini zamazwe ngamazwe, iiklasikhi, iimoto zakho (!) kunye nomxholo okhethekileyo.
Ndiyavuma. Ndingcono ekunxibelelaneni emva kwemonitha kunaphambi kwekhamera. Kodwa umendo wenziwa ngokuhamba kwaye ke ndenza isibheno: bhalisa kwitshaneli yethu!
Ndifuna kakhulu ukubhalisa!
Amanyathelo okuqala aya kuba mancinci, kodwa kuphela abo bangayaziyo imbali yethu abaya kukwazi ukubheja ngathi. Sinokubulela kuphela ngenkxaso yakho engenamiqathango!
Ngaba sibuyela kwi-Drag Racing?
Uxolo nge-litany (ndolule...), kodwa sizimisele ngokwenene ukwenza ijelo lethu le-Youtube libe sisalathiso. Mhla siyeka ukufuna ukuvela iya kuba sisiphelo sethu...
Ukubuyela kuMdyarho wokutsalwa, ndingawuphendula ngoko nangoko umbuzo wesihloko: Kutheni le nto iingoma ze-"Drag Racing" ziyi-1/4 yeemayile ubude? Kodwa sikholelwa ukuba ibali elipheleleyo lifanelekile ukuba lifundwe.
Makhe sibuyele kwiminyaka yee-1930, xa amathafa eLake Bonneville, intlango enkulu yetyuwa kwilizwe lase-Utah (e-USA), yayiyi «Mecca» yabathandi besantya.
Umdyarho okhawulezayo eBonneville uye wabaluleke kangangokuba isidingo sokuququzelela imisitho ngobuchwephesha savakala kungekudala. I-SCTA - iSouthern California Timing Association - yadalwa, iqumrhu elijongene nokuququzelela imidyarho ebanjelwe apho.
Phakathi kwamalungu ebhodi yalo mbutho kwakukho umfana: Wally Parks. Yaba nguye owathi ngo-1937 waseka i-Road Runners Club.
IKlabhu ye-Road Runners, ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, yayiliqela labahlobo abaye bahlangana ukuze bakhuphisane ngokuqala, ecaleni-uphawu oluza kuchaza uMdyarho wokuTrala. Kodwa siza kubuyela eWally Parks kamva…
Ukutsalwa komdyarho kunye nasemva kwemfazwe
Ngowe-1945, emva kweminyaka emi-6, ekugqibeleni ihlabathi laphuma kwelinye lawona maxesha anzima kwimbali yalo. IMfazwe Yehlabathi II yaphela, uAdolf Hitler woyiswa, aza Amazwe Amanyeneyo abuyisela uxolo ehlabathini.
Into ebingenakwenzeka ngaphandle kokungenelela kweMelika.
Xa amajoni aseMerika abuya emfazweni, kwakungelula ngabaninzi ukuba babuyele kwizinto zesiqhelo. Uxolo lwasemva kwemfazwe nokukhula koqoqosho yayikuphela kwento ababeyifuna, kodwa kwakukho into engekhoyo… iadrenaline.
Ngenxa yokukhula ngamandla kwezoqoqosho okwakusenzeka ngelo xesha, akukho mntu wayezikhathalele iimoto esele zikhe zasetyenziswa. Wonke umntu wayefuna iimoto ezintsha. Wonke umntu ngaphandle kwabantu abancinci ... abanye babo babesakuba ngamajoni emfazwe.
Ngoku yongeza kule equation galloping ukukhula koqoqosho, ingqesho epheleleyo, iimoto cheap kunye nolwazi oomatshini olufunyenwe emkhosini. Yayisisaqhwithi esigqibeleleyo!
Kuzo zonke ezi zizathu, inkcubeko ye "Hot Rod" ifikelele kwiminyaka yayo yegolide ngeli xesha. Kwaye ke, ubungakanani bayo bukhule ngokukhawuleza kangangokuba iyeke ukuba yiLake Bonneville kuphela. E-US, ii-Hot Rods zazikho kuyo yonke indawo.
Kwakungasekho nje ukulungisa iimoto. Yayingaphezu koko. Yayiyindlela yobomi, ingxelo yobuqu.
Ugqatso olungekho mthethweni lwaqalisa ukubakho rhoqo. Ngamanye amaxesha ngendlela ecwangcisiweyo, ngamanye amaxesha ngendlela ezenzekelayo, kwakwanele ukuba ii-hot-rods ezimbini zifumane isibane esibomvu kwaye umphumo wawuyinto esiyaziyo sonke. Kodwa bekukho nemidyarho ebiququzelelwe kumabala eenqwelomoya. Amabala eenqwelomoya, ukusuka… Oku kuvakala kuyinto eqhelekileyo kuwe, akunjalo?
Kodwa kutheni i-1/4 yemayile?
Njengoko sele sibonile, imidyarho ye-Drag Racing yazalwa ngokungekho mthethweni, nokuba ithini na imigaqo. Kulapho silahla khona iinyani kwaye siqale ngeengqikelelo.
Ngokwengxelo, ngelo xesha umyinge womgama webhloko e-US wawungamamitha angama-201 (1/8 yeekhilomitha). Njengoko iirobhothi ezininzi bezidla ngokushiyana ngeebhloko ezimbini, ugqatso lwaphela lubanjelwe kumgama oyi-1/4 yeemayile (402.34 yeemitha). Iyavakala, akunjalo?
Kodwa kukho ezinye izizathu. Inyaniso yokuba umgama ubumfutshane xa kuthelekiswa nezinye izinto ezibalulekileyo zokuthandwa kwalo msebenzi “wokwaphula umthetho”:
- Ukukhuphisana. Ukuba umgama ubumkhulu, eyona moto inamandla iya kuhlala iphumelela. Yavuzwa ngolo hlobo ke italente yomqhubi.
- Bonisa. Iimitha ezingama-400 zivumela ababukeli ukuba babone ukuqala nokuphela kogqatso.
Ukwenziwa ngobungcali koMdyarho wokuThwala
Awulilibalanga iWally Parks encinci ebendithetha ngayo okomzuzwana, akunjalo? I-Wally Parks ithathwa ngokuba ngu "Father of Drag Racing", njengokuba uRui Veloso ethathwa ngokuba ngu "Yise wePhuthukezi Rock".
Ngo-1950, iiParks zabandakanyeka kulwakhiwo lweengoma zokuqala zomdyarho wokutsalwa, umtya wokutsalwa waseSanta Ana. Kunyaka olandelayo, ethatha ithuba lokubonakala awamnika lona iphephancwadi iHot Rod - apho wayengumhleli - Parks wadala iNational Hot. Rod Association (NHRA), ukuseka imimiselo yokuqala yobugcisa kwiziganeko zoMdyarho wokuThwala. Inyathelo elathatyathwa ngenkxaso epheleleyo yabasemagunyeni, njengoko yayikuphela kwendlela yokuphuma esitratweni.
Wally Parks, uMseki weNHRAKum umdyarho wokutsalwa yindibaniselwano yezinto ezininzi. Ukuzonwabisa, ukuzonwabisa, ishishini elinzulu, ubunjineli, umngeni kunye nokoyisa.
Ukusuka kugqatso olungekho semthethweni, iDrag Racing izuze ilifa phantse yonke into: i-400 yeemitha (nangona imidyarho ibanjwa kweminye imigama) kunye nokumisa. "Ikota yemayile" yemveli yagcinwa ngenxa yezizathu ezikhankanywe ngasentla kunye nezizathu zoqoqosho.
Imigama emide ikhokelela kwizantya eziphezulu kunye nemigama emide ye-braking, ngoko ke ... ngaphezulu kwetar kunye neendleko ezingaphezulu.
I-Wally Parks yafa ngo-2007, yayinobomi obude kwaye yayihlala ixhunyiwe kwiimoto. Ukongeza ku-"Father of Drag Racing" wayengomnye wabaseki beNdlela kunye noMkhondo, enye yeembekiselo zeRazão Automóvel.
Ebuzwa kudliwanondlebe malunga nokuba yintoni eyamkhuthaza ukuba aphuhlise le ndlela, impendulo yakhe yayicacile kwaye inomdla:
Wally Parks, uMseki weNHRANdandingafuni tu ukukhula.
NjengeWally Parks, nathi sikholelwa ukuba kukho into emangalisayo malunga nokuqalisa imoto. Ukugoba kwamatayara, isandi soomatshini, ukushukuma kwamalungu, isantya... ekugqibeleni. Phila ixesha elide iimoto kwaye uqhube ngobulumko! Kwaye ungalibali… rhuma kwitshaneli yethu!
