PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY EMBRACES THE PROPOSED GREEN NEW DEAL! By Scott Daloisio (Perris, CA, April 1, 2019) Perris Auto Speedway Promoter Don Kazarian has announced that the famous Riverside County half-mile clay oval is all on board with the proposed Green New Deal. The track will be implementing several exciting changes including solar-powered racecars. The transition to the new powerplants is expected for competitors in all classes beginning this month. Upon hearing the proposed Green New Deal earlier this year, the longtime track promoter’s mind got rolling and he is pleased to reveal several changes that will appeal to race fans and teams alike. “I was intrigued when the new Green Deal was proposed,” Kazarian said. “I knew we had to comply and make it compatible in some way with racing. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that we are going all solar power at the track and that includes the racecars in each class. I know in the past we had proposed going to solar powered cars, but this time it is happening.” The plan is for all of the famous Riverside County half-mile clay ovals open wheel classes to have a solar panel mounted behind the cage and a minimum of 14” inches over the tail tank. All the stock car classes and Night of Destruction cars will have them mounted on the roof. Not only will solar powered race cars fall in line with emission protections of the New Green Deal, but they will also help with a longtime problem of racecar drivers. “Many drivers have their hearing impaired after years of racing,” Kazarian stated. “As solar powered cars will be quiet, drivers will no longer have to deal with hearing loss. It will be a win-win situation for everyone.” When queried as to his thoughts on the idea of quiet racecars helping drivers maintain their hearing as they grow older, longtime driver and now USAC/CRA Race Director Tony Jones replied, “Huh?” The last time Kazarian considered going to solar-powered cars, he addressed the concern of fans missing the sound of the racing engines. At the time, he said the track would pump the sound of powerful engines over the track’s public address system. That is not going to be the case this time. “Noise pollution is of global concern,” the longtime promoter stated. “So, instead of pumping in the reverberations of powerful engines at high speed, we are going to pump in some mood music. I like Teddy Pendcargrass and have a lot of his tunes. We may turn it up a notch at times to get the fans really fired up and play some stuff from Barry Manilow. They will love it.” Another proposal of the Green New Deal that intrigued Kazarian is the eventual cancelation of air flights and replacing them by building high speed rail systems over the world’s oceans. “It is going to take a lot of work to get the high-speed rails built across oceans around the globe,” he said. “So, I started thinking, the companies constructing these rails will need some practice. Therefore, we are going to have them build a high-speed rail system over the nearby lake to get fans to the track.” When questioned as to where the materials were going to come from to build that rail system, Kazarian stated, “We have some extra steel left over from building cars for our new Double Decker class. I have had the guys go over and take a look at the lake. They said it will take quite a bit more steel than we have on hand, so we will plan on building more Double Deckers and buying more steel. Lastly, but certainly not least, cow farts are also part of the equation. Longtime championed by many concerned with the environment, Kazarian has a plan for cow farts. “We are thinking of eliminating beef products from the concessions” he stated. “I am not sure how much it will help the environment, but have you ever smelled a cow fart. They are disgusting!” In closing, Kazarian said with a wink and a smile, “I everyone has a very Happy April Fool’s Day.” To keep up with all the latest Perris Auto Speedway news, photos, gossip and receive special offers, please use the following links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Perris-Auto-Speedway/113876798686480?ref=hl Twitter: Perris Auto Speedway on Twitter.
