Calif. newspaper article

"The term carcinogen refers to any substance, radionuclide or radiation which is an agent directly involved in the promotion of cancer or in the facilitation of its propagation."

Just because something smells bad and makes your eyes water doesn't mean it is a carcinogen. Your statement holds no logic. Until you can find a study that states otherwise, I am more inclined to believe Dr. Torstveit.

The journalist is well versed in hyperbole and "weasel words" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...d_weasel_words) ... even if he is correct that NHRA's presence in mainstream media is not on the same level as NASCAR's. That being said, they are two different animals, and do not need to be compared.
