1. What is your essential question and what are your
answers? What is your best answer and why?
EQ: What is the best way to build a drag racing car, that can consistently win races?
A1: Using power adders and modifications with proper studies and testing.
A2: Power adders, testing and modifying of the weaker components.
A3: Complete engine rebuild with modifications, powerglide transmission swap and differential gear change.
Answer one is my best answer because the biggest part of building a car is studying and knowing what you are doing, it is important to choose the right parts for a car although they may seem simple they can really impact the final outcome.
2. What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
Extensive research, videos, books, and interviews. Importance of automotive knowledge was included in most of my sources.
3. What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
Had problems researching since their is only so much that can be done to a car. To solve the problem I began searching for the small parts that don't seem important but can be crucial for success such as bolts and engine oils.
4. What are the two most significant sources you used to
answer your essential question and why?
The two more significant sources are articles from Hot Rod Magazine and Dragzine. My two most significant sources since they are a very trusted source which is well developed, both companies have tv shows testing facilities, scientists, and mechanics all devoted to the automobile. For basic drag racing knowledge my most significant source was a book "The Fast Lane" by Wally Parks which was published by NHRA, the leader in all things related to drag racing.
