Race Mixing and Why I’m Against It

But if the classes mix, the lower classes will get insights into how the upper rungs work, which is not desirable!

The monster trucks crush them all in the end anyways.

Then the undesirable elements will revolt and then where would we be?

Next we'll hear all about getting rid of mixing bowls because you know what happens in them: the horrors of mixing.

And don't get me started about the Sunbeam Mixmaster. Of all the nefarious plots, that ranks high.

And yet significantly fewer of them are injured and killed than regular motorists. Afterall, it was personal negligence of safety and a fluke that killed Earnhardt.

Off on a tangent: NASCAR, Indy Car and Formula 1 seem healthier than American Football. That is a real head banger of a sport.

Do any universities have racing teams? One would think that would be a terrific college sport, particularly for ones with Engineering departments.

The IMSA series has different classes of cars racing in the same race on the same track. Having different classes at different speed, IMO, presents an increased risk of collision at higher speeds increasing the risk of injury or death.

I think NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 are much safer.

What are your thoughts?

I think that since we all go to the races to see the crashes, anyway, whatever the corporate honchos need to do to ensure more firey and deadly crashes, the better. Especially when parts of cars fly into the audience and behead some of the fans. That's REALLY cool! So, go ahead an misogynate those cars!

Has anybody here watched Ford vs Ferrari?

You mean the documentary on Netflix?

If so, yeah, I did. I enjoyed it.

Racing isn't safe. Its a young man's game. Every last one of those racers is a danger to themselves. If you remove the danger you kill the race.

Yes, but significant speed differences increase the danger.
