Blog 12: Mentorship 10 Hours Check
1. Where are you doing your Mentorship?
I'm doing my mentorship with a weekend races, who competes with other racers in competitions for money. I go around with him racing either in Irwindale, Fontana, Pomona, or San Diego depending on where the competitions are.
2. Who is your contact?
Contact is Greg Peterson
3. How many total hours have you done?
Total of 26 hours.
4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Over the hours I help prepare the car by checking tire pressure, fuel, and warming the car up before the first race. Also cooling the car down after every race, registering for races, safety inspections, and check out other cars and parts up for sale.

Holiday Project Update
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, wether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over break with your senior project?
Unfortunately their is no major drag racing events in the area to attend so not many people race this season, including my mentor. Wether or not I need research or not over break I read up and informed myself on many automotive power adders. Over break I focused my research specifically on Turbos since it is what I believe the best potential answer for my EQ.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I learned was tuning your car, I still do not have the skills to tune a car iI learned the power of it over break. As some racers explain you can have all the power in the world but if you cant transfer it to the ground its all wasted. I also learned lots of factors like every car has different sweet spots, like for example some cars can only handle 15 Psi of boost while other cars can push the 45 psi range and in some cases the car with the lower boost psi wins the race, which shows how its all in the little adjustments made by computer tuning.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related too answers related to answers related to your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
If I had the opportunity to talk to anyone I would talk to Dom "The Snake" Prudhomme because he has been in the racing industry before it was an industry. Few people his age continue to be on the top of drag racing. Throughout his years he has tried every single set up one can possibly think of, is one of the top names in drag racing, and has a modern race team that still competes today. Since he went up in the racing industry he should be able to give the best option for a race car that fits my budget.
