The purpose of this blog is to address auto-racing and musclecar rights and issues that certain groups and state laws are attacking. The car enthusiast, such as myself, are being attacked for stricter emission laws, noise pollution complaints, and the closing of race tracks around the world. Some extremists go as far to say as old cars should be crushed. This is a hobby that must be preserved. The average muscle car enthusiast drives their car an average of 2,000 miles a year while daily drivers rack in around 15,000 miles a year. The pollution from daily drivers exceeds those of muscle cars. How about the black smoke coming out of diesel semi-trucks? Or how about the noise pollution from police sirens, screaming babies, construction zones, and football games? Give me a break that autoracing and old cars are a source of noise pollution. Then there are people who want to close down race tracks, but wonder why there is so much illegal street racing going on. If you take down a place for car enthusiasts to race their cars legally, then of course they will resort to illegal means. This is a hobby that has long been prevalent in the United States since people started racing on the salt flats in the early 1900’s and started “souping” up their cars to make them faster. It’s a hobby that must be prevalent today.
