what are racing anti roll bars made of, and what is a typical design for them?

There's lots of running boards out there. Make? Model? Year?

are the runners coverd with a rubber or plastic coating? most industrial tables (for billiard halls) have rubbler coated runners.

This is either a pipe or tube (i.e. muffler pipe for your automtoive is made this way) that has ben bend from flat metal into a tube shape and then welded together to form a solid pipe/tube.\n\nA good explanation can be found at:\nhttp://www.thefabricator.com/ResistanceWelding/ResistanceWelding_Article.cfm?ID=89\n\n\nOther sites that will give more inforamtion:\nhttp://files.aws.org/wj/supplement/01-2004-CHOI-s.pdf\nhttp://www.usstubular.com/facilities/erw.htm\nhttp://www.lbfoster.com/piling/pipepile.html\nhttp://www.weldingengineer.com/1%20Resistance.htm\nhttp://www.ipsco.com/Products/TubularProductManual/TubularProductManualERWIntro.pdf\nhttp://www.phamitech.com/pd_tubemill.htm\n\n\nHope that you find these sites useful.\n\nGood Luck.

Personally, I find carbon bars to be a bit too flexy. Kind of creeps me out.  But it is really a matter of taste.  You can buy aluminum bars much cheaper that are almost as light, and don't flex.  Since most mountain bikes have front suspension at least, road vibration is not really an issue as it would be on a road bike.  If you are riding rigid, it might be more of a concern.  Also keep in mind with carbon bars that you may not be able to use bar ends, if you normally do, though some come with inserst on the ends so you can.

Mass, acceleration, velocity, wheel size, traction (tire surface contact to track), torque from engine, horsepower. Are some of the things needed to know.\n\nYour best bet is start with a kit for a given class of race car and build and learn from that. Start with a Go-Kart.

I'm not sure they use metal strips, but if they do they will be spring steel.. Spring steel is everywhere. \nI think they are more likely to use composite materials such as graphite, kevlar or glass fibre. Again these are really readily available.\nAll these materials are not really off the shelf items and are made for specific uses. You will find composite manufacturers in your yellow pages or on the internet. Hopefully they would have some local to you.

the side wall on the roll cage should be 5/6 mill thick that should adsorb most of the impact that's what we use  to build land rover trailers and rock claimers it will have to be mild steel where you from\n     \nwolf4128

G'day Jake L,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nSurfboards were originally made of wood or balsa. These days they are mostly made of polyurethane or polystyrene foam covered with layers of fiberglass cloth and polyester or epoxy resin. However, there are some specialty boards made out of aluminium and carbon fibre.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

No damage, it warms them a bit (but not much).  Curiously I have wondered what happens if they spin tyres going over a wheel nut that has been removed.\n\nI raced for a few years here in England and here we have standing race starts, not rolling starts as in NASCAR.  Believe me in a race start situation the slightest wheel spin and you are engulfed by the field behind.  You learn not to spin the tyres, believe me.

Racetracks were always a little lower to lessen the effect of the wind. Now its more by tradition, since artificial structures usually block the wind.

The ones I'm familiar with are made out of hard vulcanized rubber. I'm confused - do you want to find brake pads or the stuff they're made of (not formed into brake pads)?\n\nThe site below has brake pads for most every kind of bike:

The race track called for different aerodynamics.
