    1. Does who what? No one asked for our vote or input. It's now about what you want, it's what they are free to do, and try to accomplish, using whatever they chose. You're aware that different classes of racing exist in the NHRA, UDRA, IHRA, etc? Well, you see that this is racing in a particular class you have no use for, but they do... right?

  2. it was a rhetorical question, not a call for a ban......let me rephrase, "how do I (someone who drives both a diesel car and a diesel motorhome) compare this to....oh lets say, Audi fielding a team of diesel prototype sports cars, competing head to head with the best gasoline powered racing cars in the world in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and winning outright while not filling the air with black smoke????........crap (IMHO)

    1. oh. Well, it's because the engines are, and operate, far differently. The Audi LeMans cars aren't WOT, nor limited to a less than 12 second 10 gallons of fuel, burn. You're comparing dis-similar races, engines, cars, uses, and fuel consumption. You're irritated at the smoke cloud, I get it, you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm anti censorship, full liberty to pursue happiness, even if the method is goofy or useless to everyone else
