Hold on tight because we're about to explore the exciting world of speed, just like the "Weird But True!" team from National Geographic Kids! You know how much fun it is to race your friends, whether it's a bike race or even just seeing who can run to the corner fastest. Well, imagine the adrenaline rush of zooming down a track in a real race car!
The "Weird But True!" crew got to experience that thrill firsthand when they filmed an episode about cars. They learned about all sorts of cool vehicles, including dragsters, which are those super-fast cars built for speed.
Think about the fastest thing you've ever seen in real life – maybe a cheetah at the zoo or a shooting star in the night sky. Dragsters make those things look slow! They're like rockets on wheels, and they need special fuel, just like the kind you find at Speedway gas stations, to give them that extra boost.
In the episode, Charlie, one of the hosts, even got to sit behind the wheel of a dragster! He said it was like riding a rollercoaster that you control, and it made his heart race super fast. Can you imagine how exciting that must have been?
The "Weird But True!" team is all about making learning fun and showing you how amazing the world is. So next time you're at a Speedway gas station with your family, remember those powerful race cars and the incredible science and engineering that goes into making them go so fast!
