Blog 16: Answer 2
1. What is your EQ?
What is the best way to build a drag racing car, that can consistently win races?
2. What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Using power adders and modifications with proper studies and testing.
3. What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Power adders, testing and modifying of the weaker components.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each?
In real life these cars need power adders to make enough power to be successful in racing competitions.
When these cars cram out as much power as they can handle crucial components begin to give out so you must replace them.
Without testing your engine components may fail during a race making you loose competitions.
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
Wally Parks, The Fast Lane
6. What other source supports your answer?
Super Chevy Magazine
Car Craft Magazine
Hot Rod Magazine
7. Tie this tougher with concluding thought.
Car must be modified and tested so the weak parts are eliminated and the most power can be taken out from the car.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval
1. Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
Plan to continue rebuilding transmissions and hoping to get to put mentorship hours with a engine builder. Basically help and rebuild transmissions and engines with the help of experts in the field.
2. Discus how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
Maybe take photos of some of the work done and some of the cars repaired or improved.
3. Explain how this component will help you explore your topic more in depth.
Help me be ready to make a car more reliable and to upgrade parts to create more power.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
LITERAL
a) "I, Victor Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 48 hours of work"
b) Mentor: Victor M. Gamboa transmission builder for 18 years at Young's Transmission and DPA Transmissions.
d) Over the corse of 48 hours rebuilt 2 transmissions and replaced an engine. Help with the basics first handing off tools slowly made my way to being able to join transmission and engine and small task like clean parts and open basic parts of a transmission. Also work testing an engine.\
INTERPRETIVE
Learned skills that no book can teach, hands on experience with the real cars. Learning tricks and how components work and why they fail. Observing what parts look like when they do fail and knowing how to prevent them from failing again. Basically get a car that is failing or to some people completely worthless and make it perfect again and perhaps solve the problem for good.
APPLIED
Helps me understand foundations of my topic because they are just that. working on cars not quite the same as performance cars from my topic gives me a view of basic fundamentals and your really cant upgrade a car properly unless you understand what you are upgrading. In some cases racing parts are more simple than that of modern cars for the road but it helps to have a better understating of that part. In other cases it is good to be able to tell a problem of a car by the noise which is only obtainable from experience, which I soon will have. Basically what I'm saying is I am working my way up the car chain and to work on expensive race cars you need to know your way up and down a regular car.
