NASCAR is good for the environment!

[jmowreader]

Half you folks think NASCAR just burns up millions of gallons of fuel and pumps lots of pollutants into the atmosphere.

It does, but there's a tradeoff, and I think the tradeoff's worth it.

Say twenty-five million people watch NASCAR races on television. While they're watching the race, they're not out riding two-stroke motorcycles, two-stroke go-karts, driving around lakes in boats powered by two-stroke engines. Some of them aren't flying their ultralight airplanes...which are powered by two-stroke engines. They're not running two-stroke chainsaws or weedeaters, or playing with two-stroke radio-controlled cars. They're not cutting grass with their four-stroke-powered lawnmowers.

If twenty percent of all the people who watch NASCAR have these kinds of devices, that's five million small engines that aren't being used for about four hours on Sunday afternoon. And most of those engines have oil mixed with the gas.

Forty-three very finely tuned race engines running at one racetrack produce far less damage to the environment than five million engines spread all over America that only see a wrench when they won't start.

Forty-three big engines probably burn less gas than five million small ones, too.

1. Yes but those 25million fans are drinking 250million cans of PBR

and the methane produced could destroy what's left of the ozone

And along with the cheap beer they're probably eating Hot Dogs, Nachos, Chili, Baked Beans, Burgers, Potato Salad and a load of other high-caloric crap that produces nothing but solid farting for days afterwards!
