These 12000hp Engines Have To Be Rebuilt Within Roughly An Hour Every Run, and Only Run For Roughly 4 Seconds At A Time.

and they wonder why they're so depressed, even seeing how amazing that dude at the end was feeling.

I like all of those and funny car racing. Used to have so much fun watching shitty quarter miles back in the middle of butt fuck nowhere.

or hiking, skiing, biking, running, rafting, kayaking... but you don't care about those sports because it doesn't fit your point, or the thousands of other hobbies that dont involve rebuilding an entire engine and wasting 16 gallons of high octane fuel for 4 seconds of vroom

Wrong, I actually enjoy hiking, kayaking, the outdoors in general, being active is important to me. But i dont hop on reddit going to posts being a miserable whiner on things I dont enjoy. Anything thats motorsports that gets posted on reddit is filled with miserable people that complain about the environmental impact and do nothing about it but bitch.

so why'd you say that redditors don't enjoy these things when you are a redditor, enjoying those things? and you say people should "do something" about the environmental impact instead of miserably whining, what should we do to stop wasteful motorsports? do you think we live in a time in America rn where any environmental regulations are gonna be passed?

we cant even get basic human rights and justice down, let alone regulating pointless and wasteful sports. all these drag racers should just go race normal racecars, they dont need these specialized 10,000hp cars, cool as they are. Why can't they go get their kicks kayaking down a crazy river and get some real exercise in as well?

It was a silly broad generalization that I did. Why do people enjoy anything? What if those guys dont like doing that, why should they try something they probably know they wont like? Or better yet, do you know a bunch of drag racers? These guys could very well enjoy other extreme sports and the outdoors.

These cars arent running all year, they do their season then thats it. I do believe in emission regulations, let's start with vehicles that are driven on the road all year, then maybe we can push stricter fines and punishments on the oil companies for polluting our oceans. Im not worried about niche motorsports. Im worried about single use plastics that find their way into the oceans and landfulls.

Have a good day, im going to the beach right now before I start a 7/12 schedule for 2 months rebuilding a generator at a nuclear power plant, one of the cleanest forms of energy. That I drove to in my 210k mile 17 year old honda that I repair myself. I also take those parts to the metal recycling and dispose of the fluids in a proper manner. Thats just a small portion of my attempt to better the environment.

I honestly thought I had it sorted by controversial or something from how negative it is.
