Why do people keep singling out NASCAR?
What with the “oil crisis” we are in, people keep singling out NASCAR as a “waste” of fuel that could be used for more “productive” purposes.
Well… WHY ONLY NASCAR?
What about:
United Midget Auto Racing Association
Vintage Auto Racing Association
Antique Auto Racing Association
Prince George Auto Racing Association
Sprint car racing associations.
Utah Salt Flats Racing Association
NHRA / IHRA
Indy Racing League
Not to mention the THOUSANDS of “Car Clubs” across America that go out for Sunday drives just for the heck of it.
Then, we haven’t even mentioned:
BOAT racing
AIRPLANE racing
MOTORCYCLE racing
What else can we add to that list?
Please explain WHY NASCAR seems to be the only ones ever taking the “hit” for “unproductive” use of fuels?
They’re uneducated. Thats why..
The fuels used in Nascar are reformulated totally differently than consumer fuels, and the use of such fuel has never had an impact on the use, price or availability of normal consumer fuels.
A lot of people try to quote facts about nascar in the 1970′s about cutting the race length to conserve fuel. Cutting the length of races back in the 70′s was purely a PR move on Nascar’s part. They only saved a couple hundred gallons by this move – but it sure did draw attention!!!
Fact is – It’s down to the general consumer to save fuel, not one racing entity.
