What could I do for a calculus project that has to do with car racing/driving?

I have to create a video project that covers some of the stuff we’ve learned in my calculus class. My group sort of jokingly decided to do the calculus of drag racing, so we’re sort of stuck now with doing something that has to do with car physics. I guess something like acceleration plots, accel. at certain time, maybe finding g-forces? Any other suggestions? Or, does anyone know how exactly to find g-force felt during accel. without much complicated equipment?
Thank You!
