Going green. Their math seems to say that if the rednecks didn't have a race to go to then they would stay home and spew no carbon in the air. "Carbonfund.org calculated the carbon footprint of the 2008 Daytona 500 as 14,163 tons." (28,326,000 pounds) This comes from the fuel used for the race , the transportation, the lights, lodging and everything else related to the race that would not be used if we didn't have the race. But if we can get the Greenies to believe it all comes from the cars, we may be able get laws passed to force racing to be more carbon friendly. How long before all racing is done with only hybrids and electric cars?
Maybe a rule that all race cars are limited to 25 gallons of fuel for a 500 mile race. I give it 10 years and we'll have it.
