The culmination of another superstar weekend of NASCAR racing at Talladega, AL, one of their “Super speedways” which dot the U.S. landscape, makes me realize what a waste of precious resources we witness each week when these vehicles make left turns for three hours, consuming nature’s gift and providing nothing more than a PBR inspired buzz for the millions of fans who watch it. Thankfully no animals were killed, nor were any drivers or spectators, so from a safety standpoint the improvements in this “sport” are the only benefit I can see and the idea of putting helmets and HANS devices into the new economy cars on the market might be something to analyze. The display, otherwise, was a horrid show which destroys valuable natural resources which could be used to keep the lower class Americans in affordable gasoline for quite some time and be of great assistance for the poor children of the nation.


Per NASCAR statistics, all of the cars consume about 6000 gallons of fuel during the race. This does not include diesel fuel consumed by the numerous rigs the racing teams drive nor the media circus which follows the teams around the circuit. Add in the waste of aviation fuel for helicopters and blimps which circle the event from above and you can deduce that hundreds of thousands of dollars of our valuable resources are wasted so Bubba can get a buzz on and watch a bunch of rednecks make left turns all day. The fuel consumed by the racing vehicles is also high in lead content which when burned in a confined area like many of these race tracks, might explain the deteriorating ability of some drivers to enunciate properly when interviewed after the race. If you think about the average household which earns less than $50,000 per year, they probably consume about 40 gallons of gasoline on average per week. While that number might seem high, if you add in the transportation to and from work for two adults and the various trips around the community for the children, it’s not that extreme. So based on that, each NASCAR event could provide gasoline, if the racing fuel were refined differently, for up to 150 weeks for that one household! That means almost 3 families would have 1 years worth of fuel and prevent the children from having to walk, hitchhike or take dangerous school buses to and from their public education Mecca. Think of the savings! Think of the children!


Also the skills of the truck drivers would be better utilized to haul food and clothing to keep costs down for our poor and middle class by better allocating the diesel fuel in this nation for things that matter. This would reduce our dependence on Mexican trucking companies to haul goods cross country and keep America strong. The aviation fuel would be better utilized for our military and of course hospital emergency helicopters which are in need for lower fuel costs to keep hospital bills down for the children when they are seriously injured. Thus grounding this aerial circus we see every Saturday and Sunday for the Busch Series and Sprint Cup races would immediately provide an economic benefit for the children.


Another consideration that everyone should understand is the increased dependency on government hearing aid programs as a result of the hostile environment inside a NASCAR event. They use no mufflers or sound reducing technology which with repeated exposure, especially in the infield and seats closer to the track. If this continues, the expansion of the Medicare/Medicaid roles to accommodate the drivers and fans could be a huge burden on our society. Adding to the hazardous nightmare is the lack of catalytic converters and pollution control devices which pollute the atmosphere and enhance global warming effects over the various tracks. The limitations of the ability for many plants to grow in such an area of polluted air only contributes to the rapid decline of our world’s atmosphere and the polar bears inability to swim to safety and areas where food is readily available. Alas, this sad state of affairs is neglected by the average NASCAR fan, as their only concern is swilling beer, spitting tobacco, and of course keeping their female partners enslaved as bare footed baby factories inside their homes. America must act and act fast to force NASCAR to modify their cars and the racing environment, if not outright banning the sport, for the good of our health care system, endangered birds and the children.


Finally, there is the social impact. No, not the drunk husband coming home yelling at his wife and kids after the race because number 88 choked again. It is the waste of talent and resources within the vehicular construction itself. These engineers are brilliant and probably all drive cars that average 100 mpg in the city as they know all of the top secret engine manufacturing techniques which should be shared with the world to prevent the Armageddon we all fear is coming. If these engineers were forced to work within the private enterprise system for the auto makers and maybe even a special U.N. project, the threat of global war and radical terrorist activity would be greatly reduced as the oil resources would be extended for another fifty years as a result of their work. We must encourage NASCAR to not hoard these engineers and their mechanics and to share them immediately to prevent war and protect the children.


It is my sincere hope that each and every one of you pick up a pen, a phone, or email your representatives in the House and Senate and urge action now. It is time to ban NASCAR and the affiliated races. It is time to start conserving and allocating our resources. It is time to give the powers to the government to do what is necessary for the Ashy Storm-Petrel to survive and come off the Endangered Species List so it does not fly over lead laden airways nor choke on non-catalytic converter cleaned exhaust. It is time for all Americans to act.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

How anyone could take that seriously is beyond me.:kookoo

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

You'd be awefully suprised how many BILLIONS with a B are being spent on SPECIAL INTEREST. A whole highway is elevated Chicago to protect a Beetle.

The logging industry was put almost under over the spotted owl which was later determined the Hoot Owl was the culprit in their dying numbers not man.

IT's getting rediculous and it IS REAL!

Lets not forget Al Gore and his put the food supply in your tank issue.

I WANT A PERSONAL APOLOGY from that IDIOT.
Chuck

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

That has to be the dumbest F-ing thing I have ever read. Sad thing is there are people who actually believe this kind of crap. :kookoo

I don't think the engineers in Nascar are going to get the auto manufacturers to switch back to carbureted V-8's.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

I wouldn't worry about it. In the gas crisis of 1973 some other tree hugging a**hole started the same thing. It died quickly when NASCAR proved that a professional sports team flying round trip coast to coast burned more fuel on that trip than the entire entry list for the Daytona 500 did during Speedweeks including practice, qualifying, and the race. Motorsports is a highly visible user of fuel and therefore attracts the attention of these people.:moon:

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

I think you needed to read the whole thing.

Here's the rest:

If you believe one word of what you just read above, you are a victim of “Liberalitis” the disease which impairs your ability to take a joke and enjoy the sarcastic side of life. This is not a serious op-ed but something to illustrate just how absurd the socialist movement might actually sink to get their point across. While the idea of banning NASCAR might appeal to the liberal elites of this nation, some of us still enjoy our bible clinging gun toting rights to enjoy cars making left turns for four hours every Sunday. And if these same Liberals/Socialists would just get out of the way, the free market could and would solve many of the issues outlined above in short order due to market demand. If you think this is absurd, picture this: The elites and socialists actually want to regulate food production and distribution, income redistribution, modify the Constitution, and of course all aspects of your freedoms all for the children and the “greater good.” If any of you think they can fix NASCAR, then you probably believe they can solve any food supply related issues also. Seek profession help immediately if that is the case.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Chuck: I'm well aware of the money wasted on pet projects. No entity does that as well as our government. I also believe that auto racing may very well come under serious attack, but I don't think this is it. More likely a lonely college kid who decided, just for kicks, to see how many NASCAR fans he could set off.

I believe that was a reply as www.700wlw.com had a person getting petitions together and honestly wants this BAN to happen on yesterday. his email is stopnascar@hotmail.com.

This is REAL and I believe the webcast can be found at www.700wlw.com search Eddie and Tracy show for april 29th.

I'll try to find it and post the link.

Sounds to me like John Galt could run for President on the Socialist ticket with about 2/3 of the other candidates that ARE already on the ballot!

People better wake up and smell the coffee before one of these do-gooder, pin-headed, jackasses gets elected, and then what?

Learn this phrase, "The law of unintended consequences"
Because, it will bite you in the ass every time!

It starts about 5 minutes into this segment and last about 15-20 minutes. His name is Patrick Long and he sells enviromentally friendly furniture.

This is the third hour of the show which the guy did interviews and demanded we take action against Nascar. The host brought up why don't we just ban all sports as 30,000 fans drive to Football and Baseball games ect.

It's real and whats sad is there are enough in congress that buy into every special interest and eco groups.

What you need to do is call your congress and tell them to do whats best for the country and not any one ISSUE!

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Sorry Charles, that was a not a reply, it was the small print at the end of the rant. If you read the full link, someone named Ed Biles goes off on him and he (John Galt) replies to tell Ed to read the same small paragraph at the bottom of the rant. It's sarcasm! The guy who wrote it even says he is a NAPCAR fan!

I do not think this blog was meant in sincerity but more to show us that there are whacko's out there that think and believe this sh*t.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Is this a publicity stunt like the guy who had the Plummet Mall commercials on radio a while back.

If it's on 700WLW I'm sure Billy C. has it all under control. :angry-smiley-007:

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Just listen to the podcast. i thought that small print was a hoax but why would this guy be going on a media blitz?

http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/182...ones_On_Demand Ten minutes into it.

The original post that I posted here without the lower part is the EMAIL this guy sent out to Enviro groups.

Thanks Cecil, At least someone else heard it.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

It's really hard to believe that some of you are actually allowed outside in public, much less allowed to vote. It's satire ladies and gents!

...and further more if you think that NASCAR with backing from major US and foreign automakers, big oil companys, DuPont, Anheuser Busch, Proctor and Gamble, et, al. could be affected by people signing internet petitions and talkings on AM radio, perhaps you should just hide in your bunker till the liberal initiated apocalypse comes to fruition.

First it's our guns! Now they want to take away or NASCAR!! Could bass fishing be next?!?!:doh:

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

I took it as a joke too.
There already is a country like the one being described above, its called "China"

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Me thinks its time to send ol' Charles to the rubber room...

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

I believe they SHOULD ban NASCAR. Then use the money for better purposed like better clay, more comfortable bleachers and better lighting at 1/4 mile bullrings that only run wingless Sprints and Midgets :thumb

Heck, we could probably even setup a little photographer's lounge area with a roof to shield the photographers from the elements during rainstorms and strong direct sunlight :rolling

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Galt might be a phoney but this Patrick Long guy (from Oregon) is for real. I heard his interview on a talk radio show the other day. He wants a 2 year moratorium on NASCAR racing, after which it's affects on society and the environment will be reassessed.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

I waited to post this until I found any real evidence. The blog post is somebody ranting on the email he recieved. The podcast I posted the link to is the actual radio show on a 50.000 watt station. They even had Dennis Neil of the Racing Report call in on the hotline to question this guys motives.

Listen to it then decide. It's not all Hot air and it isn't my personal fears opinions ect.

I think the world should just put a ban on having children.

Let civilization die out for a while like the dinasours, then when
the next fish comes to land and evolves into a human being we can
start the whole process over again.

I think God's plan is something like that anyhow, isn't it?

We have had fun though, while we were here didn't we...lol!

Larry "O"

P.S. God Bless you.:applaud:

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Chuck, this reminds me of every Christmas someone posts that some "liberal" is going to eliminate Christmas. Anything that brings in as much money as nascar and Christmas will NEVER be done away with. The 3 percent that run our country would never allow it.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

In the span of one year, 1955 five top AAA open wheel racers lost their lives, Iron Mike Nazaruk, Larry Crockett, Jack McGrath, 1955 Indy 500 polesitter Jerry Hoyt and Indy 500 icon Bill Vukovich. To top it all off 82 spectators plus a drivr lost their lives at Le Mans. And I'm not even counting local racers or NASCAR drivers in the tally. If ever some nutcase could lead a movement to ban racing 1955 was it. Didn't happen, not that it wasn't tried.

If racing or a part of racing was not banned after that disastrous year of 1955, what makes anyone think NASCAR, who is stronger than any American racing series ever, could possibly be on the road to being banned today.

My advice, don't pay attention to blogs unless the author happens to be Lauren Besecker or other trustworthy racing bloggers. For one thing I never once read that bloggers need to pass any kind of intellegence test

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

Gregg, By your logic, Board tracks should still exist.

That was the direct result of Govt. Intervention. Although a war and high maintainence cost had some to do with it..

A state senator actually demanded the ellimination of it.

Chuck, saying the Plummett Mall thing was 25 years ago and that was ran as commercials on a station known for practical jokes. They still do it today.

The culmination of another superstar weekend of NASCAR racing at Talladega, AL, one of their “Super speedways” which dot the U.S. landscape, makes me realize what a waste of precious resources we witness each week when these vehicles make left turns for three hours, consuming nature’s gift and providing nothing more than a PBR inspired buzz for the millions of fans who watch it. Thankfully no animals were killed, nor were any drivers or spectators, so from a safety standpoint the improvements in this “sport” are the only benefit I can see and the idea of putting helmets and HANS devices into the new economy cars on the market might be something to analyze. The display, otherwise, was a horrid show which destroys valuable natural resources which could be used to keep the lower class Americans in affordable gasoline for quite some time and be of great assistance for the poor children of the nation.


Per NASCAR statistics, all of the cars consume about 6000 gallons of fuel during the race. This does not include diesel fuel consumed by the numerous rigs the racing teams drive nor the media circus which follows the teams around the circuit. Add in the waste of aviation fuel for helicopters and blimps which circle the event from above and you can deduce that hundreds of thousands of dollars of our valuable resources are wasted so Bubba can get a buzz on and watch a bunch of rednecks make left turns all day. The fuel consumed by the racing vehicles is also high in lead content which when burned in a confined area like many of these race tracks, might explain the deteriorating ability of some drivers to enunciate properly when interviewed after the race. If you think about the average household which earns less than $50,000 per year, they probably consume about 40 gallons of gasoline on average per week. While that number might seem high, if you add in the transportation to and from work for two adults and the various trips around the community for the children, it’s not that extreme. So based on that, each NASCAR event could provide gasoline, if the racing fuel were refined differently, for up to 150 weeks for that one household! That means almost 3 families would have 1 years worth of fuel and prevent the children from having to walk, hitchhike or take dangerous school buses to and from their public education Mecca. Think of the savings! Think of the children!


Also the skills of the truck drivers would be better utilized to haul food and clothing to keep costs down for our poor and middle class by better allocating the diesel fuel in this nation for things that matter. This would reduce our dependence on Mexican trucking companies to haul goods cross country and keep America strong. The aviation fuel would be better utilized for our military and of course hospital emergency helicopters which are in need for lower fuel costs to keep hospital bills down for the children when they are seriously injured. Thus grounding this aerial circus we see every Saturday and Sunday for the Busch Series and Sprint Cup races would immediately provide an economic benefit for the children.


Another consideration that everyone should understand is the increased dependency on government hearing aid programs as a result of the hostile environment inside a NASCAR event. They use no mufflers or sound reducing technology which with repeated exposure, especially in the infield and seats closer to the track. If this continues, the expansion of the Medicare/Medicaid roles to accommodate the drivers and fans could be a huge burden on our society. Adding to the hazardous nightmare is the lack of catalytic converters and pollution control devices which pollute the atmosphere and enhance global warming effects over the various tracks. The limitations of the ability for many plants to grow in such an area of polluted air only contributes to the rapid decline of our world’s atmosphere and the polar bears inability to swim to safety and areas where food is readily available. Alas, this sad state of affairs is neglected by the average NASCAR fan, as their only concern is swilling beer, spitting tobacco, and of course keeping their female partners enslaved as bare footed baby factories inside their homes. America must act and act fast to force NASCAR to modify their cars and the racing environment, if not outright banning the sport, for the good of our health care system, endangered birds and the children.


Finally, there is the social impact. No, not the drunk husband coming home yelling at his wife and kids after the race because number 88 choked again. It is the waste of talent and resources within the vehicular construction itself. These engineers are brilliant and probably all drive cars that average 100 mpg in the city as they know all of the top secret engine manufacturing techniques which should be shared with the world to prevent the Armageddon we all fear is coming. If these engineers were forced to work within the private enterprise system for the auto makers and maybe even a special U.N. project, the threat of global war and radical terrorist activity would be greatly reduced as the oil resources would be extended for another fifty years as a result of their work. We must encourage NASCAR to not hoard these engineers and their mechanics and to share them immediately to prevent war and protect the children.


It is my sincere hope that each and every one of you pick up a pen, a phone, or email your representatives in the House and Senate and urge action now. It is time to ban NASCAR and the affiliated races. It is time to start conserving and allocating our resources. It is time to give the powers to the government to do what is necessary for the Ashy Storm-Petrel to survive and come off the Endangered Species List so it does not fly over lead laden airways nor choke on non-catalytic converter cleaned exhaust.

Re: Right now the focus is Nascar but the BAN RACING movement is underway
 

It's good to shine the light on idiots, like this one, just so you know what's being said by people on the fringe. This is one case, that even though many of us poke fun at NASCAR, that the big corporate racing conglomerate is all racing fans' friend. Even though some lunatics may be spewing this stuff in some circles, finding a large enough group of legislators to make laws to ban racing, would be impossible. The NASCAR fan base represents a huge voting block. There's not enough sum total Political Courage in all of Washington D.C. to chance alienating that big of a voting block. Not even close. And as far as state laws go, this is Indiana. The loss of tax revenue from the abscence of the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400, alone, would cripple the state.

Well said Jerry, However there are tons of damaging laws and regulations that were pushed through by small groups, Gun bans, Smoking bans, Logging bans ect ect that have been pushed through when congress was not in session. This is a practice that needs banned. As well as false leading information. Ohio Smoking ban is responsible for over 300,000 jobs being lost and 20,000 buisnesses closing and you ask someone how they voted and they say. "I DIDN'T Know" Buisnesses were deciding before that on THEIR OWN if they wanted to be smoke free or not and it was working. Bob Evans said it's our best interest to be smoke free while the tavern that serves food kept smoking. The bowling alleys, Night clubs ECT.
This is insane. Vote yourself out of a job and higher taxes due to the loss of revinue.

People need to wake up and tell your congress and senate to do whats right for a nation of 300 million and not a special interest group. Sadly money seems to be their only interest.

Bush can only sign or veto whatever appears on his desk. I do blame him for giving them a free pass most of his addministration but the problem starts with the law makers.
