We burn a lot of diesel fuel traveling to the race tracks around the country. All of this is against the ways of the liberals. They just dont understand that this is part of our freedoms to be able to race cars, motorcycles, boats, Airplanes and what ever else is being raced.
I doubt racing as we know it will be around more than about 5 years if things dont change. So get out there and enjoy it while you can. I plan to.

Great post!
We have to approach this one piece at a time. There is a lot that we can do to change the overall image of racing.
If you take the racecar by itself, the carbon impact is negligible. It can be offset by planting a few trees.
Next year, I plan to do a full assessment of the carbon footprint of my racing operation and share my results and what it takes to offset my impact.
