Concrete should be troweled to a smooth even surface and be aged for at least 90 days. Expansion joints should be properly filled. Neutralize the surface of the concrete. Use either 1 part Muriatic Acid and 9 parts water or 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water to make a good neutralizing agent.
Cedar Pointâs Top Thrill Dragster relies on the power density of hydraulics. August 29, 2014 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment. As it embarked on yet another one of its record-breaking, thrill-seeking rides, Cedar Point quickly turned to hydraulics, for the power density and precision control it offers.
2. Find a closed-track racetrack with a drag strip in your area. If you want to drag race, you've got to do it on a racetrack under the proper conditions. Drag strips are usually a quarter-mile long, after which is a speed trap of about 70 feet (21.3 m), where your top speed will be measured. Ideally, you want a light that's amenable to lots of modifications. 2  A good dragster often has an engine modified with aftermarket cams, heads, and other components, to maximize the horsepower so it runs in excess of 600 or 700 HP.
