A Cause For Concern?
February 21, 2010 by Luke Matheson · Leave a Comment
How much longer do we have? That is a question I have began to ponder as the politics of this world, and nation begin to head towards a “green” environment. Now, as racers, crew members, and fans, we usually like when the “green” drops, but the green I am speaking of, we may not like.
Our political leaders are pushing everyone to go green and clean, and are trying to take any kind of pollutants out of the equation in order to “save mother earth”. While all of that is great, and I am all for self preservation, I am worried that it is only a matter of time before big brother steps in and tries to kill our favorite sport, auto racing.
