When will NASCAR go to hybrid race cars?
November 11, 2009 in NASCAR
Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water
Average College Student asked:
One race emits 20 tons of CO2 to warm our planet substantially
Did you know that you can save fuel and run your car on water
Probably…never. Well, maybe but then it wouldnt be quite as fun (what about all the smoke?)
20 tons????? The weight of 10 cars????????
Where did you gey your information, GREENPEACE MAGAZINE???????
They will never go to hybrid cars.
Never. Hybrids are far from being a viable long-term solution to reduce vehicle emissions.
More practical options are ethanol and clean diesel.
Never!
Where’d you read that 20 tons of CO2 fact? It’s NOT TRUE!
I also read that NASCAR fumes are the cause of birth defects up to 20 miles from the track… That’s a bunch of BS too.
Once nascar goes to hybrid I will shoot myself in the head. People who drive hybrids are just screaming out I’m lameeee. I’m a mechanic and its a shame to see good old american muscle power getting traded in for a stupid hybrid, not to mention they are harder and a lot more dangerous to work on. NASCAR will never go hybrid. That would be a sad sad day.
when NASCAR go Hybrid i will pass out cucumbers to all drivers.. because Hybrids are soooooo GAY..!
Never hybrid, but I can see them racing electrics one day..
Hybrids are a bad joke.. Most professional drivers can take an ordinary car that gets halfway decent mileage, and get better mileage than most hybrids..
When electric cars can put out six, or seven hundred horse power, they will be raced.. Maybe not in NASCAR, but they will be raced..
20 tons of carbon?? That would be hard to do considering they don’t even burn fifteen tons of fuel.. Has anyone ever described you as gullible??
Maybe if you took all the races in the country on a given Sunday, and added in all of the vehicles that brought all the people (spectators) to all the races in the country, you would come up with a significant number.. But that would be true of football, or any other major sport.. Or any other major event for that matter, including things like national elections, marathons, or October Fests..
Any activity that attracts huge numbers of people, and mobilizes them, will use copious amounts of fuel, and produce a great deal of carbon.. Just because racing burns fuel, doesn’t make it worse than any other sport..
Aw geez, another brain washed Obama loving tree hugger. Nascar will NEVER go hybrid.
The city of St. Louis burns enough gasoline to fuel 43 cars in a 500 mile race EVERY 2.5 MINUTES of every hour of every day! Which is almost enough fuel to power Al Gores estate not including his jet.
Now, don’t you have some whales to save or something?
Same day hell freezes over………
Not hybrid, but maybe fuel injection. hybrids would slow it down substantially. that wouldnt be fun.
