Yes motorsports are harmful to the Environment, but they are FUN.
As one of the other posters here mentioned, electric cars will slowly begin to replace gasoline powered cars, but it will no doubt take decades - if not several decades to emerge.
I half chuckled and shook my head at the same time when I saw mention of certain racing organizations using ethanol to " reduce pollution " .
As you can see here, it is certainly possible to even drag race and be clean about it (
especially if the electricity comes from sources like wind farms
The thing I don't seem to understand about motorsports are ones that ....hmmm....."lower income people" enjoy such as
indoor monster truck racing.
Yepp...let's take an enclosed stadium and race around in small circles jumping over already crushed cars. The gasoline fumes and noise ? The kids love it !
Tractor pulls : Yepp ....let's take this big weight and waste all this fuel to move it a few feet. and do it all over again.
NASCAR : Yepp ...let's take these cars which we call " stock" cars and race in a big circle ...hundreds of times. No variations, no turns .nuthin. And we gotta put a sticker on the front a these cars to tell everyone what kind a car it is we be drivin' cause there ain't nuthin stock at all about one a these . Not the body , not the wheels, not a thing. Not even that emblem on the front a the car is real. It's a sticker !
If we put a Chevy next to a Toyota and not have the stickers, no one would be able to tell what make the "stock" car is because each has to look alike.
At least in the early days , NASCAR had cars that looked like what they were supposed to be.
