Oh, no! I’m about an hour from there. They have flood warnings posted in the area.

If you outlawed thunder, then, only the clouds would have thunder.

With all the fatalities at auto race events, I’m surprised the libs haven’t tried to ban them. I suppose they don’t because no guns are involved.

Maybe they’ll just ban the “Young Guns”. Logano, Keselowski, et al.

I suppose they dont because no guns are involved.
They should arm the drivers and pit crew. That would definitely make races more interesting.

I just checked Nascar.com and there is no mention of this tragedy on their home page.
To: Veggie Todd
In the early days of stock car racing (pre-Nascar) many of the drivers and mechanics were heavily involved in moonshining and were well armed.
Over the years there’s been sort of a code of honor in the pits that you can settle differences with a tire iron but not a hand gun.

No lightning here in Pt. Jervis yet, just some light rain.

Just thinking out loud here, but youve got at least three problems with car racing as related to environmental health: gas usage in the races themselves, the use of leaded gasoline, and the hundreds of thousands of cars that drive to the races.
Doing a full calculation of the environmental cost of NASCAR (number of cars per race, number of miles per race, number of miles per practice run, number of races per week, number per season, number of fans driving to the races, number of beer cans thrown out the window) is beyond me.

You just keep track of those statistics and we’ll check in with you later on.

I take it that you failed to notice that the ethanol bloc is a huge sponsor of Sprint Cup.
Tune in next week and check out the advertisement on each and every "gas cap".
