NASCAR question: How do viewers keep from getting burned?
It seems like there is absolutely no shade at NASCAR races...and even if you use SPF 1000000, there's no way to avoid those rays.

So how come everybody doesn't get sunburned?

1. Watch it at home on the telly.
:D

(I couldn't take the fumes and the press of sweaty people against me. I'm too claustrophobic to sit in stands.)

2. Maybe the tattoos work as sunblock


Race track sunburns are pretty unattractive, in keeping with those who usually sport them. :evilgrin:

(I can say that because I go to races and have gotten burned there!)

There is nothing to do but wear sunscreen and know which sections of seating are in the shade at certain times of the day. Or get tickets in a fancy box section. Or get tickets in the shaded seats underneath the overhang of the fancy box section.

Or you can just stand by the concession stand drinking beer. That's usually under the seats, so it's dark and cool there.

3. Too much sun is actually a good way to make a tattoo fade.
He probably needs more sunblock, haha.

4. Champion sportswear

I use SPF 50 on my arms and wear a vented cap.
