Bay Area Autocross Forum: Northern California Events » Autocrossing's Carbon Footprint
Lots of back and forth, the opening post is a gross over simplification and is missing many points of carbon footprint impact.
But there is some info in there.
I wasn't really serious though. Just pointing out that anyone that consumes a wide range of petroleum products just for fun really doesn't have much of a platform to stand on regarding environmental impact of a single facet of emissions.

It's something I've often wondered about.

when someone chooses autocrossing as a hobby( or any other petrol-driven hobby) their actions speak much louder than words. No lack of non-petrol hobbies out there to choose from. and NO you don't HAVE to a world-class athlete to participate. just get UP and MOVE.

your all arguing about a decat as if its some tottaly immoral evil thing to do on a car that destroys cats its perfectly logical look at carburated cars they dont need a cat. and you know damn well those things are polluting as well.
anything and everything you consume is a direct danger to the planet
the human race is the virus this planet was infected with we cannot stop it and we cannot control it no matter what. the only way to STOP destroying our atmoshpere is to rid it of humankind we need to consume the earth in order to survive and thats the only part of our genetic code that is hardwired SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE at any cost
are you prepared to die for a planet that will eventually destroy itself in the end?
do you really think there is a way for you to even eat tonight without destroying the planet?
vegtables? theres over 10 billion people and not nearly enough leaves tomake a salad everyday for every person
please take your futile attempts to "save" the planet and ignorant contraditing and hypocritical judgments elsewhere
you took your part in destroying the planet this morning when you turned your shower on without even realizing it.

Whoa,
Pretty deep man, my hippie friends from the 70's would be totally bummed.
I agree with you for the most part without quite so much fatalism & Gloomy Gusness, more of a realistic resignation.
I watched for years as Louisiana's coastal marshes quickly disappeared.
It ticks me off that somehow California and Florida's coastlines are deemed more valuable, oil & gas drilling are stymied at every turn and who cares about stoopid Loosiana anyway?
Meanwhile, fracking is allowed with no regard whatsoever to environmental impact.
So, I should feel bad about going catless?

Personal responsibility - what kind of world do you want to leave for future generations including your own?
Sadly, there is no shortage of filthy, putrid slobs who think the world is a public restroom for them to p-ss and sh-t wherever they please without any thought of the next user ...

Actually, Team doesn't drive an RX-8. Well, outside of short autocross runs. Trailered to and from events I believe, sits in the garage between events.
I may be inaccurate, but that is my recollection.
Still, he purchased a car specifically to consume petroleum products for fun, so the shoe still fits.

I paid $1150 to avoid polluting the air and still have the performance of a catless midpipe, and you could just as easily say that by keeping my mileage down (under 13k miles total on a 2005 model) I'm doing my part to keep the petroleum use to a minimum
my other two vehicles are ULEV Hondas if that matters ...

You still purchased a car specifically to consume petroleum products for fun.
A cat-equipped car isn't "no emissions", it's "lower emissions". You are still producing those emissions just for fun, not to mention the gas, oil, tires, and the environmental impact of making the car in the first place.
If you are serious enough about protecting the environment to feel a need to rail against people who run catless, perhaps you should get rid of your cars and use a bike. Pick a past-time of something like jogging.
If you aren't that serious/extreme, then you really don't have much grounds to complain about people running catless.
I'm sure STX rules that keep you from going catless have zero impact on your decision as well.

fyi a pedal driven bike uses rubber tires made from crude oil and can only be burned as they do not decompose. same for the tires on your prius.
no matter what you do you are STILL destroying the earths natural resources and slowly killing the planet

Then why do all these people drive SUV's and complain and pass global warming laws?
Is not driving an SUV akin to driving for fun, except driving for fun is part time and driveing an SUV is a daily thing that pollutes more?
