    I'm going to White House.gov and starting a petition to ban all motorsport. Clearly it uses too many precious natural resources given to us by Mother Gaia for what? To see who can go around a track the fastest? How many children grew up in a fatherless home because of racing? Just so selfish people can go out and have "fun"?


    Now your probably thinking, well racing gave us windshields and seat-belts. But those days of innovation are long gone, we have computers to do stuff like that. How big of a carbon footprint does the 24hr of LeMans leave? Just consider the noise pollution alone... The "fact" we have Climate Change proves we need to put an end to this not-so-silent killer.

    Not to mention it does nothing to lower the deficit.

    Except many poor people are willing to work, but can't find work. People hit rock bottom, don't put everyone into one pile.

    Current sports car racing is the "leader" in green racing, as you know, clean diesel, hybrids, and alternative fuel vehicles are the name of the game these days.

    Go for it though. lol I'll vote to ban guns.

    We could take the money that people blow on racing and use it to feed and shelter those poor people who cant find work. How can we sit around and enjoy the wasteful abuse of serviceable vehicles that could be used to better the lives of society's unfortunate...........????


    "willing to work" is a term thrown around way too loosely..................

    these people are willing to work



    these people feel entitled to a pay check.

    Indeed.... that's the real meaning of "willing to work" half the people on welfare would turn down these jobs.

    What kind of MPG's are the "leaders" in racing getting? How many tires are used? Those resources could be put to better use by the government, rather than wasted by rich white people having fun. When oil is spilled on the track, is there any environmental remediation to clean it up other than throwing some Oil-Dry on it and brushing to the side? Or because it's something you like it's ok to rape the Earth to satisfy your desires?



    No race car ever cleaned oil off of a baby seal after a tanker used to feed it's selfish interests runs aground.

    Should there be a "/sarcasm" at the end or do you honestly believe that racing still isn't currently pushing new technology for every day drivers?
