All electric cars.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Or . . . a Pinewood Indy

[Revel]

What BS. Why don’t just say that only electric cars can enter? I lost a lot of faith in the human race when I figured out how easy it is to manipulate them because they are not capable of intelligent though.

[Tell It Right]

Purchasing energy credits is the Dims' version of the old practice of Catholics buying indulgences.

Your pollution sins are forgiven as long as you buy Algore blessed carbon credits from Tesla.

[JBW1949]

There you go!!!!

But only if they use dead, downed trees to get wood to carve their pinewood cars...

We don’t want them cutting down any precious trees...

[Nifster]

Shame

Indy used to be fun to watch

[kaktuskid]

Don’t the cars burn alcohol already?

[Seruzawa]

Not quite. The AP is sillier and faker.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Exactly. Who wants to go to a race run by idiotic Gorons?

[Seruzawa]

Lol. I haven’t watched Indy since they banned the turbine car. Buncha phonies.

[IYAS9YAS]

Auto racing is the antithesis of green. F-1 tries to say they’re green but they travel around the world to multiple venues in multiple countries. One team will burn more fuel and consume more energy in a single season than my entire family will in a lifetime.

[ridesthemiles]

The amount of $$$$$ all the racing communities contribute all across the USA is staggering.

I have no idea hos many work for Penske, but I would NOT be surprised if it was around 1000 employees in racing alone.

IMO, Roger is an American hero & no one pays attention to his impact in America.

[ridesthemiles]

NO AUDIENCE

[ridesthemiles]

YES-—HAVE FOR YEARS

[ridesthemiles]

HOW MANY-—sorry

[doorgunner69]

And the parking lot will b efull of those goofy teaser things.

[doorgunner69]

Looks like teasler owners, but why no face diapers?

[Disambiguator]

Next thing you know, the racecars will be electric, and the race will be silent. Plus, it won’t smell like fuel.

The experience just won’t be the same.

[oldasrocks]

NO rubber tires will be allowed as made from oil. Same with all the plastics, metals and lubrication.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I heard on “Drive to Survive” that the Mercedes team ALONE has 4,000 employees! One team will probably burn more fuel in one season than a dozen families will burn in a lifetime.

But Indy 500 is addressing this problem by having electric carts deliver tires to the teams. Yessirree! That is one big, bold green move there. I am SO impressed.
