I'm protesting the stupid government and the economy.

What if health care legislation passes in the new socialist government, will race injuries be covered?
Larger grids for certain.

Certainly, with all the environmental controls too, I'm certain that recreational use of combustion engines and the resulting accidents would have to be covered...  Probably would have to find a nice small animal doctor to help you out.

I think there is a serious chance of racers getting screwed at some point. How hard is it and how long before the government starts to use the same "logic" they are already "legally" using against smokers before they apply it to us.

"Look I know this guy would be able to walk if we paid for all this rehab, but he willingly increased risk to his health and therefor we don't think we should cover it"

Think this will never happen? I know I won't be surprised.

Just wait until some environmental nut shows up to a race and sees all that race gas and those used tires... Mr O. has to pay for all his ridiculous spending somehow... I'm envisioning at least a 9% "race tax". And no matter how broke any of us are, almost all of us make at least decent money which means he's completely justified in releaving you of that extra money.

Dear Leader would never do such a thing.

If they would be covered, I guarantee you they will be imposed a "crashing tax" for unnessecary use of a motorized vehicle, or some other such nonsense.  That- or anyone who has ever registered in a race will be taxed.  Good grief.  Is it 2012 yet????  :banghead:  :biggrin:

LOL- did this just turn political?  :pop:  Hehe, well there goes my smites column!

Well, the Cap & Trade program would increase the cost of, well, everything.  Diesel used to move tires from places, diesel used to move food from places, let alone actually harvesting it.  Electricity for race tracks, electricity at the CCS office, AC for the CCS office, travel for the officials and cornerworkers...

I don't think it's political.  This is a rational discussion too.  And that's been missing from government for some time.  LEAVE US ALONE!!!

I said that a lot didn't I?  Maybe.  Maybe it's my first run at something with no money.  Kind of like racing.  I will need 2,000 signatures of registered voters to be on the ballot.  I would be running as an independent.  I have some website ideas that need to get implemented along with some other things.  I think I have some time given that I don't have any money to spend.

Candidates don't spend their own money, they get it from others and spend it.  :wtf: :biggrin:

Shouldn't be too hard to get 2000 sigs. You missed a great opportunity at the state fair, you probably could have gotten 10,000 just pressing the flesh.
