in case you haven't realized the US is a capitalist country and forcing someone else to put there careers on hold and share some gas with you so you can save a penny or 2, is communism.

Just for you that dont know the race cars also use leaded fuel and our cars use unleaded and it does take the same oil to make but i dont think it takes the same amount so its actually makes really no difference for them to stop or keep goin.

Since gas prices are so high right now, and everything, why cant we put a little hold on all those motor sports that use a lot of gas for each car just to run a lot of laps around a large circle?I dont have anything agaisnt NASCAR or anything like that, im just saying if we put a small hold on all those type of "sports" for a month, or however long it takes to sort things out with the gas issues, wouldnt it lower the prices a good bit for all of us who need gas to actaully get places?

I understand these people need money, and this is their job to drive a car around a circle for what seems like an endless period of time, but ****...

Uh maybe because nascar makes rich people money, and the fact that rich people( and nascar is pretty dam gay if ya ask me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I personally don't like nascar BUT even if you did somehow get them to stop, why not talk to the people at DisneyWorld about the 58 thousand gallons of gas they use each day to run those rides (which are F***in awesome if i say so myself).

most of those cars dont even run on the regular gas that we get do they ?

 

[XtheoneandonlyX 10+ year member]

Are you talking about the rides?

Jmac rules.

Look at it as also if people drove respondsibly to save that 1mpg.

So do the equation a lil more realistic to save 6mpg. Which would be hella more.

500 mile track6 mpg

500/6 = 83.333 gallons

43 cars * 83.333 gallons = 3583.333 gallons

Average daily fuel consumption in the US in 2004 = 20.5 million barrels

1 barrel = 42 gallons

20,500,000*42 = 861,000,000 gallons

3583.333/861000000 = 0.000004161826945 (0.0004161826945%)

0.0004% of the DAILY consumption in the US (let alone the world) ...

Congrats on being wrong ...

The NASCAR fuel is a different composition and it takes more barrels to refine each gallon of hi-per. fuel.

well if you guys want them to stop using fuel to make ther living then maybe you should stop using fuel and try taking a bike to work we all need gas its a fact of life what we need to do is stop worring about the UN and start taking oil from iran and terrorist supporting countrys

The fuel that the autosports would be using has allready been made.

It's not like they can take that fuel and sell it to us.

i forgot how many fans go to a nascar race but i think its upwards of 100,000. lets say the average ticket is $50. thats $5,000,000 on ticket sales alone, then theres connessions and advertisements, closing down nascar would be retarded, but i do think its a waste of gas, even before the gas prices went up.
