Depending what kind of grade you want to get and what level English. But....I had to do a research paper for Physics and I had to interview folks. Your list is quite extensive and could easily cost a person a hour if you get good responses, why not offer 5 dollar Starbucks cards of something? It is what I did, and I got a very good grade and great input.
Just an idea.

I'll give my input...I'm always up to help someone who's trying to get somehwere in life. Good for you for staying in school ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
1. Why do you Street Race? I dont street race, but on occassion I like to "get on it" when driving on the highway.
2. Where Do you Street Race?. (Doesnt have to be exact location) Again, I dont streetrace, but if I DID, it'd be on the san mateo bridge in the middle of the night or on Clawiter in Hayward ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
3.How would you Define Or Describe StreetRacing/DragRacing?. Adrenaline rush, but the straight line shit just aint for me!
4.What do you get out of StreetRacing?(Joy,Money,accopmplishment,Adrenaline rush or what ever...) adrenaline rush and street cred I guess.
5.how much money would you say you have into your car(s)?. Which car hahaha! In all the cars I've had and dumped money into, I could've and should've just bought a Shelby Cobra Roadster Replica ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif)
6.Do you prefer racing at the track or the streets?. Track only because there arent any streets that replicate an autocross course or road race track and are SAFE enough to race through.
7.how did you learn to work on cars?.(school,parents,self) Watching my pops, reading posts on forums, reading magazines and manuals
8.how old were you when you started racing/ working on cars? I helped my dad restore his 65 fastback when I was in 5th grade
9.is working on cars a hobby or career?. Hobby
10.how much time have you established into your car?. All the freetime I have I try to do something with the car. Althoug with a family and young daughter, its hard at the moment.
11.have you ever got caught for street racing?. No, but I got an "excessive acceleration" ticket in a mall parking lot hahah
12. How many times have the cops pulled you over in you car? twice...one for front tint and another for front license plate, but i'm sure they just pulled me over because of the car I was driving.
13. does your family/friends support your love & intrests for cars? Yes...if your wife or GF dont support, leave the bitch!
14.do you consider street racing a safe hobby?. No, racing on the streets is lethal.
15.do you consider your car to always be a work in progress?. Indeed...it will neverbe done!
16.what extremes will you go to for your car?. ($$, traveling to get parts, etc..)
If the price is right, I will travel long distances for parts. My last 4 mustangs were all purchased several hours away because nothing is cheap in the bay area!
