“Seems like NASCAR drivers...” can’t imagine NASCAR without the rumble of a gas engines. Same thing with Harleys.
I quite agree. I’ve been in the infield during restarts and when the field comes around the roar and the actual feeling in your chest of the power is astounding.
But the subject is tire wear and there’s a lot of ICE car tire wear at the race tracks, whether or not repeated exposure is harmful to one’s lungs.
