Wake up, Bart! :lol:
NASCAR switched to unleaded fuel because one of their high ups in the chain of command at childress racing who spent many years at the track was killed in a plane accident and when they did an autopsy on him he Had extremely high levels of lead in his body which would have caused problems sooner or later.
Years an years of being around leaded fuels will have an effect on you some way or another. When you are running circles around a track your breathing in what's coming out of the vehicles in front of you.
Merlin plumlee (AMA Honda crewcheif) died of lung cancer and never smoked. It was speculated that maybe years of being at the track around the leaded fuels caused this.
Something to consider for the long termers out there. My lungs are worth way more to me than the valves and valve seats in any motor.
